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.<...

Os materiais de origem biológica possuem propriedades-chave que estão além do alcance dos materiais sintéticos, permitindo a fabricação de estruturas complexas com propriedades aprimoradas. Biomateriais são materiais criados ou produzidos a partir de organismos vivos ou que já viveram. Esses materiais, como a seda, normalmente passam por várias ...
