The Modification Opens Up Great Opportunities To Increase The Range And Competitiveness Of Silk Fabrics

Abstract

The article presents the results of testing the tension process and research aimed at improving the preparation of threads for weaving. Attention was primarily paid to finding out the reasons for the high unevenness of tension and breakage of the threads, which contribute to the unevenness of raw silk in linear density. To reduce the breakage, we proposed a modification of silk during primary processing, which were determined experimentally. It has been revealed that polymer treatment significantly improves the physico-mechanical properties of protein fibers, these fibers initially have very good strength characteristics due to a high degree of polymerization.
