Silk Cocoon Processing for Fiber Mats

Description

Silk cocoons can be processed into a soluble material that is useful for making biomaterials. Silk fibers have been used for fabrics and threads for centuries, but turning them into a versatile pre-polymer solution is a newer technique. That solution can then be shaped into materials with controllable mechanical properties.<...

I materiali di derivazione biologica possiedono proprietà chiave che vanno oltre la portata dei materiali sintetici, consentendo la fabbricazione di strutture complesse con proprietà migliorate. I biomateriali sono materiali creati o prodotti da organismi viventi o un tempo viventi. Questi materiali, come la seta, subiscono in genere varie fasi ...
