A 1907 article in Posselt's Textile Journal summarizing a paper by Edward Lodge on silk substitutes. It covers early attempts to give cotton a silk-like lustre by coating or treating it (Hoseman, Brodbeck, Knecht, mercerising) and the development of artificial silks from cellulose, including Chardonnet, Lehner, Du Vivier, Pauly's Glanzstoff, viscose, cellulose acetate and gelatine silks. Process chemistry, patent dates, and comparisons of strength, lustre and cost are given.
