Presentation On: Semi Synthetic or Regenerated Fiber

This presentation discusses semi-synthetic fibers, which are derived from natural fibers through chemical treatment or addition. It provides Rayon as an example, which is made from cellulose treated with alkali and carbon disulfide to produce viscose. The presentation lists common types of semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate, artificial silk, Rayon, and Tencel. It then describes the production processes of viscose Rayon from wood pulp and acetate Rayon from cellulose acetate. Finally, it mentions other regenerated fibers currently in development, such as cupro, rubber, lyocell, modal, and triacetate.

Semi-Synthetic Fiber

 Semi-synthetic fibers are fiber that are derived from originally naturally-


occurring fibers, usually with the addition or treatment by synthetic
chemicals. An example of a semi synthetic fiber is Rayon, which was also
known as "viscose" which was originally developed after several un-
industrious methods of developing artificial silk were devised, which
treated cellulose derived from wood with an alkali and carbon disulfide to
produce a viscose substance.
Types of semi-synthetic fiber
 Acetate
 Artificial silk
 Rayon (viscose)
 Tencel
Viscose Rayon

Viscose was discovered by Cross and Bevan in 1892 during a programme of


research on the general properties of cellulose. It is the sodium salt of
cellulose Xanthate (Cell-O-C-SNa).It is may be manufactured from cotton
linters but the usual starting point is wood pulp. The unrefined wood chips
are purified by treatment first with calcium bi-sulphite and then by boiling
with steam under pressure for about 14 hours.
Acetate Rayon

The secondary cellulose acetate rayon cotton linters, waste cotton or


high-grade wood pulp is purified by boiling with alkali followed
hypochlorite bleaching. After purification the cellulose is dried and
mixed with acetic an-hydride and glacial acetic acid together with about
1% of sulphuric acid.
Cuprammonium Rayon

Cuprammonium rayon is made from scoured and bleached cotton linters or


purified wood pulp with a high alpha cellulose content. The cellulose id
washed and then pressed until it contains about 50 percent of water.
