I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua manaʻo ka hapa nui o ka poʻenā lole moe silikano ka mea he ʻāpana mea nani ia. Eia nō naʻe, he kakaikahi wale nō ka poʻe i ʻike e pili ana i ke kumu a me ka mōʻaukala o kēia lole. Ma kēia pou, e ʻike ʻoe i ka ʻike āpau e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike e pili ana i ka lole silika a me kona mōʻaukala.
Ua hoʻomohala mua ʻia ka lole silika ma Kina Kahiko. Eia nō naʻe, hiki ke loaʻa nā laʻana silika mua loa i ola ma ke alo ponoʻī o ka fibroin protein silika i loko o nā laʻana lepo mai ʻelua mau hale kupapaʻu ma kahi Neolithic ma Jiahu ma Henan, mai ka makahiki 85000.
I ka wā o Odyssey, 19.233, ʻo Odysseus, e hoʻāʻo ana e hūnā i kona ʻano, ua nīnau ʻia kāna wahine ʻo Penelope e pili ana i ke kapa o kāna kāne; ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua ʻaʻahu ʻo ia i kahi pālule e ʻālohilohi ana e like me ka ʻili o ka ʻaka maloʻo e pili ana i ke ʻano ʻālohilohi o ka lole silika.
Ua nui ka makemake o ke Aupuni Roma i ka silika. No laila, ua kālepa lākou i ka silika kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe loa, ʻo ia hoʻi ka silika Kina.
He olonā protein maʻemaʻe ka silika; ʻo nā ʻāpana nui o ka olonā protein o ka silika he fibroin. Hoʻopuka nā larvae o kekahi mau pepeke i ka fibroin e hana i nā cocoons. No ka laʻana, loaʻa ka silika momona maikaʻi loa mai nā cocoons o ka larvae o ka silkworm mulberry i hānai ʻia e ke ʻano o ka sericulture.
Ua ʻike anei ʻoe ʻo ke ʻano ʻālohilohi o ka silika ma muli o ke ʻano prism triangular o ka olonā silika? ʻO ke ʻano triangular e ʻae i ka refraction o ka mālamalama e komo mai ana ma nā kekelē like ʻole, e alakaʻi ana i nā kala ʻē aʻe.
Hoʻokumu nā pepeke like ʻole i ka silika; ʻo ka pulelehua o nā anuhe wale nō ka mea i hoʻohana ʻia no ka hana lole. ʻO nā larvae o kahi pepeke e ʻike nei i ka metamorphosis e alakaʻi i ka hana ʻana o ka silika.
Hiki i ka hapa nui o nā mea milo pūnaewele e like me nā pepeke a me nā crickets raspy ke hana i ka silika i ko lākou ola a pau. ʻO nā pi, nā nalo, nā pepeke, nā lacewings, nā ʻuku, nā nalo, a me nā midges ke hana pū i ka silika. Eia kekahi, ʻo nā arthropods e like me nā nananana a me nā arachnids ke hana i ka silika.
ʻO Kina ka poʻe mua i hana i ka silika i ka wā pōhaku ma mua o kona laha ʻana i nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua e like me Thailand, India, Bangladesh, a me ʻEulopa.
ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka nui o ka hana ʻana o ka silika ma mua o ka silika i mahi ʻia. ʻO nā niu i lawe ʻia mai ka nahelehele mai, ua loaʻa iā lākou ka pupa ma mua o ka ʻike ʻia ʻana, ʻo ia ka hopena o ke kaula silika i kūkulu i ka niu i haehae ʻia i nā lōʻihi pōkole.
ʻO ka hānai ʻana i nā pupae silika i alakaʻi i ka hana ʻana i ka silika ma ke kālepa. Hoʻoulu pinepine ʻia lākou e hana i kahi kaula silika keʻokeʻo, kahi nele i nā minelala ma luna. Hana ʻia ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā pupae ma ke kau ʻana iā lākou i loko o ka wai e paila ana ma mua o ka puka ʻana mai o nā pulelehua makua. A i ʻole ma ke hou wale ʻana iā lākou me kahi nila. ʻO kēia mau hana i hoʻoulu ai i ka wehe ʻana o ka cocoon holoʻokoʻa ma ke ʻano he kaula mau, e ʻae ana i kahi lole ikaika i ulana ʻia mai ka silika. ʻO ka hope loa, wehe ʻia ka cocoon o ka silika hihiu ma ke kaʻina hana o ka demineralizing.
Nā lole moe silika Kinae hoʻohana i kahi ʻano silika hanohano, māmā, palupalu, a laumania hoʻi. Ma muli o kēia mau hiʻohiʻona, e kūpono kāna hoʻohana ʻana nonā lole moe silika mulberry.
