ARTIFICIAL SILK
For years cheniists of Ainerira and Europe have endeavored
to make a filler which would compare favorably with silk. A
number of so^cralh'd artificial silks have been made sy^ithetieally^
but each has lackecl some desired eharacteristie. One has not
withstood moisture, another lacked strenjictht it third was not
suffieiently pliable, and so on. It is only recently that a satis-
factory filxiT, which can be manufactured at a reasonable price,
ha« lieen developcHl. The artificial silk now commonly found on
the market is a eollodian-likc sulistance, made from cotton or
wool filjer, put tbroygli capillary tul3c«, hanlened in the air and
TEXTILES 325
I
so treated that it will withstand rnoisturcv This fiber may be
nianufaeturpd at a cost below that of pure silk, and has the
promise of u great future.* m
The artificial, or filu^r, silk is used in many knitted sweaters, f
scarfs, dress braids ^ fancy ribbons and is combined with both
pure silk and cotton. It may always lie detected by its bril-
h'aney and stiffness. If the burning te^t is used, artificial silk
is found to burn with ahiiost explosive rapidity. It also dis-
inteia:rates if it comes in contact with water; but this deficiency
is being gradually overcome by science.
