Application of natural fibers in polymer composites has been gaining popularity in several
industries pursuing environmentally friendly products. Among the natural fibers with proven
potential applications, silk fibers have recently received considerable attention from
researchers. Silk fibers provide higher mechanical properties compared to other commonly
used natural fibers such as sisal, jute, and hemp. Silk may also exhibit comparable specific
mechanical properties to glass fibers. However, silk composite laminates are rarely used in …
