Rayon
Polymer-Regenerated Cellulose or Rayon is made from purified cellulose, primarily from wood pulp, which is chemically converted into cellulose acetate to make the fiber soluble in solvents. Because Rayon is manufactured from naturally occurring polymers
-
Properties:
Soft and smooth. Rayon has a smooth, comfortable texture that feels soft to the touch, similar in comfort to natural fibers like cotton and linen.
Shiny. Rayon is known for having a sheen, ranging from a low sheen to a very shiny texture.
Uses:
Rayon is used in textile industry for making clothing like sarees, blouses, dresses, socks.
It is used to make furnishing such as bed-sheets, curtains, blankets etc.

Nylon
Nylon fibers are exceptionally strong and elastic and stronger than polyester fibers. The fibers have excellent toughness, abrasion resistance, and are easy to wash, and to dye in a wide range of colors. The filament yarns provide a smooth, soft, and lightweight fabric of high resilience.
Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers composed of polyamides (repeating units linked by amide links). Nylon is a silk-like thermoplastic, generally made from petroleum, that can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or shapes
Polyester
properties
It's durable. Polyester fibers are incredibly strong, meaning they don't tear, stretch, or pill easily like cotton and other natural fibers. ...

polymer
Polyester is a category of polymers that contain the ester functional group in every repeat unit of their main chain. As a specific material, it most commonly refers to a type called polyethylene terephthalate.
uses
-
-
It is mixed with cotton for making shirts,trousers and other dresses.
It is used in making fabrics for sarees,dress material and curtains.
Acrylic
properties

polymer
Acrylic polymers are obtained from derivatives of acrylic and methacrylic acids; the group includes also their copolymers with various vinylic and allylic monomers. Monomers commonly used in the production of these polymers are acrylonitrile, acrylic and methacrylic acids, and their amide and alkyl ester derivatives.
Acrylic is a synthetic fibre which appears to resemble wool. It is flexible, resistant to moth, oil and chemicals. It is used in the following ways: It is used for making sweaters and tracksuits and also for the linings of boots and gloves.
