The fiber, that was first discovered thousands of years ago called ‘queen of fibres. Another name by which it is known all over the world is called silk. Silk was first introduced from China, which is believed to be in the 27th century BC. The method of making silk did not come out of China until the trade route was created. Between 4000 to 3000 to BCF, many evidences of silk have been found.(I) For many years, Chine did not allow the silk industry to come out of Chine. In Chine, silk material was reserved only for emperor.Even after hiding silk production from the world, silk gradually came out of chine and spread all over the world via Korea, Thailand, India and Europe. (II) Indian silk industry is the most important and very old industries which produces 18 percent of the world’s silk in the production of silk.Among all fabrics, available silk is the most expensive and rich. It is still and has been in the latest fashion trend ever. Silk is known and used in all countries irrespective of the culture and dressing sense. (III)Ever since the discovery of silk, silk has been a fibre of lofty position associated with. Luster and smoothness are the main qualities of the silk, these qualities made from cultivated and degummed smooth filament of silk fibre. These qualities are associated with the concept of “silky”.In this paper, the structure, composition, general properties, and applications are described.In addition, its application used for the fabrication and modification of various materials are briefly addressed.
