1. Intensification of production technology
Japanese researchers have developed aseptic silk production technology and developed low-cost artificial feed with bean curd residue as the main ingredient, breaking the seasonal production pattern of sericulture for thousands of years, and the cocoons produced have good whiteness. It has the advantages of high yield rate and direct silk reeling. At the same time, countries around the world use advanced technology to produce "cloned silkworms", as well as gene transplantation technologies, new protein materials, and artificial jet-spun silkworms, which will surely replace traditional cocoon production methods.
In terms of industrial production, developed countries such as Japan, Germany, Italy, and South Korea have used their comprehensive technological advantages to continuously innovate in the deep processing technology of silk products and are in a leading position in the international market. The United States, Switzerland, Spain, etc. have strong strength in the development of filament fiber raw materials and silk technology and equipment, leading the development trend of new silk technology in the 21st century. In addition to retaining some traditional craftsmanship in many countries, production crafts continue to evolve in a technology-intensive direction, toward automation, high-speed, and electronic development.
2. Diversification of silk products
The development trend of new international silk technology is to go hand in hand in the fields of clothing industry, decoration, military, cosmetics, and medical use. Japan, Italy, the United States and other advanced silk producing countries have made major breakthroughs in the comprehensive utilization of silk. For example, the application and development of extremely fine and extra-thickness silkworm species, silk is in a leading position in the fields of food, cosmetics, and medicine. Japan also uses silkworm cocoons and silk to develop car decoration materials, contact lenses, and artificial skin. At the same time, real silk, rayon, and synthetic fibers are diversified, and various raw materials are blended and covered, making the types of fibers more diverse.
3. Fashionable wearing performance
Silk products are closely related to fashion trends in terms of fabrics, textures, patterns and styles. The newly developed elastic fiber, TenceI fiber, real silk invisible printing, silk artwork and so on in the silk science and technology industry all represent the fashion, fashion and environmental protection trends of the silk industry. For example, knitwear blended with silk and cashmere has become popular in the international market. Blended silk and cashmere have greatly improved the function of knitted fashion clothing and become a new favorite of fashion favored by customers in Western Europe and North America. A major breakthrough has been made in the technical research and development of new functional silk fabrics, which conforms to the development trend of diversification, composite and fashionable silk products in the international market, and promotes the upgrading of silk products.
