← HistoryWhich limit increases shear failures when Byzantine silk brocade tapestries experienced frequent laundering?
A)Sericin gum degradation progresses rapidly✓
B)Fibers regain tensile load integrity
C)Dye penetration inhibits molecular slipping
D)Warp thread stress distribution stabilizes
💡 Explanation
Shear failure likelihood rapidly escalates because sericin’s degradation via hydrolysis weakens fiber bonds; the fiber slippage then increases under stress. Therefore A is correct, rather than B/C/D because those options describe stabilization and strengthening behaviors.
