← HistoryWhich outcome arises in Byzantine silk production when humidity drops critically low during filament unwinding?
A)Increased static electricity disrupts reeling✓
B)Dye uptake improves dramatically, inconsistently
C)Sericin solidifies into stable glue
D)Filament diameter becomes largely uniform
💡 Explanation
Increased static electricity disrupts reeling because the low humidity enables greater charge accumulation via the triboelectric effect, therefore fiber control suffers rather than better fiber qualities resulting when conditions stabilize maintaining correct silk fibroin hydrogen bonds.
