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.<...

Transcript

Biologisch afgeleide materialen bezitten belangrijke eigenschappen die buiten het bereik van synthetische materialen liggen, waardoor de fabricage van complexe structuren met verbeterde eigenschappen mogelijk wordt. Biomaterialen zijn materialen die worden gemaakt of geproduceerd uit levende of ooit levende organismen. Deze materialen, zoals zij...
