Silk From Silkworm Cocoons at Stephanie Edward blog

Silk From Silkworm Cocoons. Domesticated silkworms tolerate human handling and massive crowding and are totally dependent on humans for survival. Humans simply unravel the cocoons back into strings. Unlike the wild silkworm, the domestic silkworm has an increased cocoon size, higher growth rate, and an efficient digestion system. Silkworms are the larvae from silk moths (bombyx mori). It has also adapted to living around humans and in crowded conditions. When a silkworm has eaten enough, it constructs a cocoon made out of silk fibers, and inside that cocoon it turns into a pupa. After many days, a fully formed adult silkworm. Silkworms devote a considerable proportion of their mass and energy gained. A silk cocoon is a natural polymer composite. Here, we extend our study of silkworm cocoons to the much wider range of highly diverse cocoon types from 25 different silkworm species comprising a broad range of morphologies and physical properties. We also discuss how the different structures might control natural tensile, compressive and gas diffusion properties. The larvae, or silkworms, feed on mulberry leaves and eventually spin cocoons using silk fibers produced from their salivary glands.
