Condensation polymers include many of the materials referred to as synthetic or manmade fibers including polyesters (especially PET) and a variety of nylons (mainly nylon 6,6 and nylon 6). 

The introduction of rayon, nylon and other manmade fibers with their greater strengths per unit cross sectional area compared with cotton fabric has led to the use of rubber coated fabrics in the manufacture of various engineering products such as tyres, beltings and hoses and also several specialty products for the chemical process industries. The arduous service conditions prevailing...

The different types of man-made fibers which predominate currently in apparel and home furnishings are reviewed and problems to be faced in preserving them discussed. The influence of environmental factors on the properties of manmade fibers are examined and comparisons are drawn between their stability and that of natural fibers. Methods are surveyed for the identification, or estimation, of damage to man-made fibers that may have occurred during use. Precautions that need to be taken in the cleaning and display of fabrics are indicated.

Rayon. Rayon, the first commercial manmade fiber, is composed of cellulose in a quite pure form. It is produced by the treatment of wood pulp with alkali and carbon disulfide to form a viscous solution of cellulose xanthate. This viscous solution, called viscose, is extruded through spinnerets into an aqueous acid bath that coagulates the cellulose xanthate, decomposes it, and regenerates the cellulose. 

The latest compilation of developments in this field of spinning and weaving manmade fibers can be found in an annual section published each September by Textile World 118. ... 

Direct genotoxic and mitogenic effects of asbestos, as well as of some manmade fiber s, have been detected in in vitro assays [e.g., (Dopp et al. 1997 Osgood 1994 Wang et al. 1999)]. The physical presence of phagocytosized fibers can interfere with chromosome segregation during mitosis and result in aneuploidy and...
