THE ARTIFICIAL TEXTILE FIBRES ARE CREATED

The new product that is revolutioning the textile industry

Yesterday, in 1880, Joseph Swan created the artificial textile fibres. His fiber was drawn from a cellulose liquid, formed by chemically modifying the fiber contained in tree bark. The synthetic fiber produced through this process was chemically similar in its potential applications to the carbon filament Swan had developed for his incandescent light bulb, but Swan soon realized the potential of the fiber to revolutionise textile manufacturing.
