This review addresses composites prepared from cellulose (Cel) and silk fibroin (SF) to
generate multifunctional, biocompatible, biodegradable materials such as fibers, films and …

In the present study, waste of tasar silk fiber was used as reinforcement in the epoxy resin.
Tasar silk fiber waste (TSFW) was pre-treated with NaOH coupling agent before reinforcing it …

This paper concerns the tear properties and behavior of Bombyx mori (B. Mori) silk cocoons.
The tear resistance of cocoon layers is found to increase progressively from the innermost …

Silk fibroin-derived polypeptides (FDPs) are polypeptides resulting from the enzymatic
separation of the hydrophobic crystalline (Cp) and hydrophilic electronegative amorphous …

Growing concern of carbon emission and accumulation of non-renewable waste material
due to synthetic fibers have shifted the paradigm of composite materials towards …

This paper considers the mechanical response of Bombyx mori silk cocoons to knife
stabbing, a simple but controlled way of simulating predaceous penetration. Here, we stab …

As one of the most significant areas of the Italian economy, the capacity of the Italian textile
industry contributes to the country's prosperity. However, fashion is one of the most prevalent …

The current approach for harvesting bone tissue for bone grafts is well established, yet has a
host of complications associated with it. Biomaterials are viewed as the next step in …

Présentement, la technique de prélever du tissu osseux d'un site donneur pour une greffe
osseuse est bien établie, mais entraines toutes sortes de complications. Les biomatériaux …

Silk, commonly known as the queen of all fabrics, is mainly produced by the two important
groups of insects including Lepidoptera (larvae) and arthropods (spiders)(Craig, 1997). Silk …
