==Description==
Synthetic fibers are made from synthesized polymers of small molecules. The compounds that are used to make these fibers come from raw materials such as [[petroleum]] based chemicals or petrochemicals. These materials are polymerized into a chemical that bonds two adjacent carbon atoms. Differing chemical compounds are used to produce different types of synthetic fibers.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}
Synthetic fibers account for about half of all fiber usage, with applications in every field of fiber and textile technology. Although many classes of fiber based on synthetic polymers have been evaluated as potentially valuable commercial products, four of them - [[nylon]], [[polyester]], [[Acrylic fiber|acrylic]] and [[polyolefin]] - dominate the market. These four account for approximately 98 percent by volume of synthetic fiber production, with polyester alone accounting for around 60 per cent.<ref name="Woodhead 36">{{cite book|title=Synthetic fibers: Nylon, polyester, acrylic, polyolefin|editor=((J E McIntyre, Professor Emeritus of Textile Industries, University of Leeds, UK))|location=Cambridge|series=Woodhead Publishing - Series in Textiles|volume=36|url=http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=510|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717071233/http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=510|archive-date=17 July 2011|df=dmy-all|access-date=21 April 2010}}</ref>
