Artificial silk is produced in mills and with synthetic fibres. Original silk is produced by the silk worms and it requires a lot of skill, labour and time. SO naturally the original silk is expensive than the artificial.
Artificial silk is produced in mills with synthetic fibres. Original silk is produced by silk worms and it requires a lot of skill labour and time. They also have to take care of the worm, maintain its habitat and feed it.
The technology is simpler and the production is higher.
After natural burning of natural silk an ash remain and the smell is strong; the burning of artificial silk can be total.
because it was made by artificially by human
Artificial silk, also known as rayon or viscose, is a man-made fiber produced from natural materials like wood pulp. Pure silk, on the other hand, is a natural fiber produced by silkworms. While both can have a silky texture, pure silk tends to be smoother, more luxurious, and more durable than artificial silk.
Satin is a weave and can be produced from several types of fibre. Pure silk is 100% silk, where woven fabric may be blended or made of pure fibre.
Both ! Silk and wool are both natural fibres. In their 'raw' state they are 'pure' and contain no artificial fibres. However, they can be mixed with man-made threads to increase their strength.
Natural silk: a product from the larvae of the insect Bombyx mori. The chemical structure of the fiber is proteinic. Artificial silk: man made fibers from cellulose and derivatives, polyesters, etc.
Because silk is taken from silk worms after they are killed or die and lots of silk is required for a piece of silk, so therefore extracting silk is a long and expensive process as it requires the use of lots of silk worms who happen to be hard to find.
Japan has developed technology for producing a synthetic spider silk with the same qualities as natural spider silk. Not all synthetic silk has the same qualities as the natural silk though.
Natural silk is made from the cocoons of silkworms; artificial silk is basically plastic.
