The crash in the Chinese stock market this week unnerved investors around the globe, as the world's second largest economy suffered from volatile trading and falling currency. NPR Senior Business Editor Marilyn Geewax joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss the country's economic woes and the effect on the U.S. economy.
Modal (textile) (Redirected from Polynosic) Modal is a type of rayon, a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose, in this case often from beech trees. Modal is used alone or with other fibers (often cotton or spandex) in household items such as pajamas, towels, bathrobes, underwear and bedsheets.
Viscose is pretty much the opposite of polyester in every way. Viscose is a kind of rayon that is not made from polymers like polyester is.Viscose is a regenerated cellulose fiber (meaning that it's made from plant material) more like cotton or linen. Viscose rayon is a medium-weight fiber with fair to good strength and abrasion resistance....hat all being said, the reason the shirt says Viscose and not Rayon is because rayon has received a bad name because of the crappy rayon made in the 1970's. Rayon today is so super awesome (a new rayon form is called Modal and it's about the best thing in the universe).
