Description
Silk is a very valuable natural protein fiber that we get from nature and used in the textile industry. The proteins are one of the natural polymers and biodegradable and they have reactive functional groups. Silk fibers are soft, long, and thin. They are known for their luster, absorbency, strength, and wrinkle resistance. However, there are some downfalls of natural silk. It is weakened by sweat, bleach, body oils, perfumes, and sunlight. It is sometimes mixed with other fabrics to make our blended silk.
