Chemical cellulose derivatives Cellulose acetate and triacetate fibres Camille and Henry Dreyfus developed the first commercial process to manufacture cellulose acetate in 1905 and commercialised the spinning of cellulose acetate fibres in 1924 in the United States. At that time, the only other human-made fibre was viscose rayon, which was still in its early stages
