The document discusses the development of an eco-friendly synthetic fibre made from corn. It notes that depleting fossil fuels and environmental pollution present future challenges for textile production. Researchers developed a new biodegradable polyester fibre using corn as a renewable raw material. The production process involves milling corn to extract starch, fermenting the starch to produce lactic acid, and polymerizing lactic acid to form polylactic acid fibres. The resulting fibre has properties ranging from silk-like to cotton-like qualities while being biodegradable.
