CRYSTALLIZATION OF SILK FIBROIN

Sen'i Gakkaishi, 1969
A transparent solution was obtained by treating silk fibroin with dichloroacetic acid for one day at room temperature. The 1% solution gave cloudy precipitates by diluting with the same volume of water.Needle-shaped crystals could be observed under optical microscope in the precipitates dried up on a slide glass at about 60°C.The particles have sizes ...

Bio‐templated Piezoresistive Yarn for High Sensitivity Movement Monitoring Textiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed a conductive coating by biotemplating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto a Potato virus A (PV) particle network, cross‐linked on co‐polyamide‐starch (CoPA‐SS) coils. The combination of CoPA‐SS's shape memory and PV‐AgNP's piezoresistivity achieved high strain sensitivity and minimal hysteresis.
