Orlon is a synthetic fibre made from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). It is prepared by the addition polymerization of acrylonitrile (CH$$_2$$=CH-CN):

$$n\;\text{CH}_2=\text{CH-CN} \xrightarrow{\text{polymerization}} (-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH(CN)}-)_n$$

Orlon is used as a wool substitute in making sweaters, blankets, and other textile products.

So, the answer is Polyacrylonitrile.
