When where synthetic fibers made?

Synthetic fibers were first developed in the early 20th century, with the creation of nylon by Wallace Carothers and his team at DuPont in 1935. This marked the beginning of widespread synthetic fiber production, as nylon was followed by other innovations such as polyester in the 1940s and acrylic fibers in the 1950s. These materials revolutionized the textile industry, offering durability and versatility compared to natural fibers.
