(Beta-Keratin) silk is a synthetic polymer. The name silk is thought to have originated from the Greek word “seres”.
Most of the world’s silk is derived from the cocoons of the moth Bombyx mori which lives exclusively
on the leaves of “Morus alba”, the white mulberry tree. There are other species of silkworm
but their contribution to world silk is small. One cocoon is made of a single silk thread between
300 and 900 meters long. A silk strand consists of two silk filaments encased by a protein called sericin.
The sericin can be dissolved in mild alkaline leaving the pure silk threads.
