Tanned silks

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1974
The silks of the large cocoons of saturniid moths range in colour from pale to dark brown. They are invariably accompanied by phenolic compounds. The nature of these phenols and their interaction with silk form the subject of this paper. Silk, though fluid when secreted, dries out almost instantly. It is pure white; and if artificially kept dry remains

Silk-silk blend materials

Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2016
Silk fibroin materials can be used as various kinds of biomedical materials. Here, we report a comparative study of silk-silk blend materials using thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy. Four groups of silk-silk blend films were fabricated from aqueous solutions by blending Chinese Bombyx mori (Mori) with Indian Antheraea mylitta (Tussah) silk ...

Silk and Silk‐Like Supramolecular Materials

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2018
AbstractSilk is a source of marvel for centuries as one of nature's high‐performance materials. More recently, chemical and structural analysis techniques have helped explore the relationship between silk's properties and its hierarchical structure. Furthermore, recombinant protein engineering as well as polymer and organic synthesis techniques have ...

Silk

Abstract In Titus Andronicus, Lavinia’s mutilated body has sometimes been staged through textiles (threads, ribbons), powerfully evoking its parallel in the Ovidian story of Philomela. This chapter explores the various kinds of textile work that Philomela has been imagined as undertaking, and the (often ethically fraught) relationship ...

Silk‐Fabric Reinforced Silk for Artificial Bones

Advanced Materials
AbstractBone implants for different body parts require varying mechanical properties, dimensions, and biodegradability rates. Currently, it is still challenging to produce artificial bones with perfect compatibility with human bones. In this study, a silk‐fabric reinforced silk material (SFS) composed of pure silk with exceptional biocompatibility ...
