“…It was believed that raw silk would be developed during the reeling process along with PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) strands in order to provide bulk, and that the PVA component would be eliminated after weaving in order to produce voids in the raw silk and so enhance the performance of the fabric [8]. During the process, the idea for a new yarn (Void silk) was conceived.…”

“…Silk was once used to create parachutes. The intricate and time-honoured technique of silk reeling plays a crucial role in transforming raw silk into exquisite fabrics, embodying the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of silk producing regions [7][8][9].The purpose of this study aims to examine and compare traditional and advanced silk reeling techniques. By looking deep into the intricacies of each method, we can gain a deeper understanding of the procedures, advantages, limitations, and applications associated with silk reeling.…”

A highly valued natural fibre, silk is renowned for its exceptional qualities, such as strength, lustre, and tenderness. The act of reeling, which involves unwinding silk threads from cocoons, is essential to the production of silk. Reeling technology has undergone several developments over the years with the goal of improving silk production's effectiveness, quality, and sustainability. This review paper gives a thorough summary of current developments in reeling technology, discussing both conventional techniques and cutting-edge ideas. Silk producers can choose the best approach for their unique requirements by having a thorough understanding of these processes. We examine the improvements that have transformed the silk industry as well as the obstacles that have come with various silk reeling techniques over time.

“…As mentioned, cocoons are structures that provide protection to pupae and herein we hypothesise that the geometrically complex, hierarchical, and layered structure of a B. mori cocoon should provide a certain level of tolerance to tearing. Multiple reports document the tear resistance of silk sheets and silk derived/inspired composites [44][45][46][47][48] , yet as far as we are aware, there has been no work conducted to date on the tear strength of cocoon walls and their layers. Knowledge of this property will enable a more detailed understanding of how cocoons serve to mechanically protect their pupae.…”

This paper concerns the tear properties and behaviour ofBombyx morisilk cocoons. The tear resistance of cocoon layers is found to increase progressively from the innermost layer to the outermost layer. Importantly, the increase in tear strength correlates with increased porosity, which itself affects fibre mobility. We propose a microstructural mechanism for tear failure, which begins with fibre stretching and sliding, leading to fibre piling, and eventuating in fibre fracture. The direction of fracture is then deemed to be a function of the orientation of piled fibres, which is influenced by the presence of junctions where fibres cross at different angles and which may then acts as nucleating sites for fibre piling. The interfaces between cocoon wall layers inBombyx moricocoon walls account for 38% of the total wall tear strength. When comparing the tear energies and densities ofBombyx moricocoon walls against other materials, we find that theBombyx moricocoon walls exhibit a balanced trade-off between tear resistance and lightweightness.
