Question

what are the differences between rayon and silk

Answer 1

Answer:

• Rayon is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber. It is made from purified cellulose, primarily from wood pulp, which is chemically converted into a soluble compound. It is then dissolved and forced through a spinneret to produce filaments which are chemically solidified, resulting in synthetic fibers of nearly pure cellulose.[1] Because rayon is manufactured from naturally occurring polymers, it is considered a semi-synthetic fiber.[2] Specific types of rayon include viscose, modal,  and lyocell, each of which differs in the manufacturing process and properties of the finished product.
• Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons.[1] The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colors.

1. .Silk fabric is soft and quiet luster, natural mercerizing is not dazzling; rayon fabrics have bright shiny, shiny is dazzling.
2. .Silk fabric is soft when touching, delicate texture. Pure silk fabric each other, can issue a special sound. This is the identification of silk and imitation silk one of the means. While the artificial silk feels a little hard and has cold and wet feeling.
3. Clenched silk fabric tightly, after the release, less wrinkles or not obvious wrinkle; The rayon fabrics, it will occur more wrinkles, the elasticity of the rayon fabric is not as good as real silk product, but can also be flattened by hand.
4. Place a small piece of cloth in your mouth and chew the cloth, silk fabric is easy to produce a sense of resistance, long chewed into a ball; and rayon is broken into short fibers.
5. The yarn quality is the main differentiation between rayon and silk.
6. The silk is a natural fiber material which will be mostly in filament form.
7. Rayon is a manufactured fiber that is made of cellulose.
8. It is subjected to different process.
9. To view, the differences more visible untwist the Silk or Rayon material.

Answer:rayon is artificial while silk is natural...

Explanation:

*Rayon is obtained by man .it is also called artificial silk..

*while silk is natural protein fiber of silk is mainly composed of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to cocoons...
