← HistoryWithin early Byzantine silk weaving, which degradation accelerates with increased metal thread percentage?
A)Reduced tensile creep resistance
B)Increased microbial decomposition rate
C)Accelerated galvanic corrosion effects✓
D)Decreased ultraviolet fade resistance
💡 Explanation
Galvanic corrosion effects increase, because dissimilar metals, the metal thread and processing materials, create electrochemical potential differences that drive electron transfer damaging metals and silks; therefore, the silk degrades rapidly, rather than resisting thread pullout from creep.
