Excerpt from The Effect of Certain Light Rays Upon Weighted and Unweighted Silk Fabrics: A Thesis
The deterioration of fabrics by light did not attract much attention until the beginning of the worldhwar. With the advent of the airplane and airship some means had tolbe devised to protect the lightweight materials used in their' construction from the action of light. Since then a number of) investigations have been made to determine the amount of deterioration caused by light rays. Light was found to be theamost important factor causing the weakening of airplane fabrics (turner, Dorse (1917) attributes this de structive quality of sunlight to the presence of ultra violet rays, acting alone or in conjunction with ozone pro duced during radiation. Other authorities are of the opinion that ozone which is developed acts strongly upon the fibers in the presence of moisture. According to Johnson Beerman believed that the deterioration was due to the action of ultra-violet rays alone.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Delving into the intriguing connection between light and silk fabrics, this book comprehensively explores the effects of various light wavelengths on both weighted and unweighted silk materials. The author meticulously examines factors influencing silk's durability, such as weighting agents and cleaning methods, and delves into the impact of mechanical wear, perspiration, and environmental conditions. By analyzing the tensile strength, stretch, pH, and color changes of silk exposed to light, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that govern silk's deterioration and preservation. The book's findings are essential reading for textile scientists, conservators, and anyone interested in the science behind the beauty and longevity of silk.
