INTRODUCTION:Viscose is not a synthetic fiber made from petroleum;

but rather it’s a “regenerated cellulosic fiber” made from cellulose - most
commonly wood pulp, but many plants can be used, such as bamboo. The
cellulose is broken down, and then “regenerated” into a fiber.

Concluding remark based on the above comparison.

Remark 1) polynosics are high strength viscose rayon fibres with particularly higher wet
strength .

Remark 2) The reaction sequence in the spin bath is on the lines suggested below
