Modal (textile)
Rayon, also called viscose and commercialised in some countries as sabra silk or cactus silk, is a semi-synthetic fiber made from natural sources of regenerated cellulose, such as wood and related agricultural products. It has the same molecular structure as cellulose. Many types and grades of viscose fibers and films exist. Some imitate the feel and texture of natural fibers such as silk, wool, cotton, and linen. The types that resemble silk are often called artificial silk. It can be woven or knit to make textiles for clothing and other purposes. Rayon production involves solubilizing cellulose to allow turning the fibers into required form. Three common solubilization methods are: * The cuprammonium process (not in use today), using ammoniacal solutions of copper salts * The viscose process, the most common today, using alkali and carbon disulfide * The Lyocell process, using amine oxide, avoids producing neurotoxic carbon disulfide but is more expensive Histo ...

Modal (company)
Modal, formerly known as Next Technology Inc., was an American-based company in San Francisco, that sold software for a dealership's website, allowing car shoppers to purchase new and used cars online. In 2016, the company, then known as Next Technologies, entered the seed accelerator, Y Combinator. History Modal was founded in 2015 out of Khosla Ventures. The idea came because there were very few solutions allowing users to buy new cars online but also allowing auto dealers to sell them. After spending a number of months looking for a car himself after he sold his first business to Yahoo! in 2013, the founder realized that the process was incredibly time-consuming and could be streamlined. In an interview with TechCrunch he stated, ''"it became shockingly clear that ecommerce had not reached new cars."'' When speaking about the competition, they suggested that the vast majority of large car sales websites were effectively online magazines, listing cars that you could purchas ...
