Silk plaster isn’t just a décor trend — it’s applied materials science in action 🧪🧱 Silk plaster (also called liquid wallpaper) is a composite wall coating made from cellulose fibers, silk or cotton threads, mineral fillers, and polymer binders. When mixed with water, it forms a viscoelastic paste that’s spread directly onto walls, where physics and chemistry do the rest. How it works (technically): • Capillary absorption: Cellulose fibers absorb water, allowing uniform distribution during application • Polymer binding: Adhesive polymers create intermolecular bonding as water evaporates • Fiber interlocking: Silk/cotton fibers mechanically entangle, increasing tensile strength • Porosity control: Micro air pockets improve thermal and acoustic insulation • Diffusion permeability: Allows walls to “breathe,” reducing moisture trapping and mold risk Why it’s used: • Seamless wall finishes (no joints like traditional wallpaper) • Crack masking due to elastic fiber networks • Thermal & ...
