Recent Developments in Regenerated Silk Fibroin Fibers
Silk fiber has gained its importance in the field of tissue engineering due to its excellent mechanical and biocompatible properties. The properties of silk fiber can be engineered for its suitable use in tissue engineering by its regeneration in the form of films or fibers. This review paper summarizes current research related to regeneration techniques for silk fiber preparation, characterist...
متن کاملSilk Fibers Extruded Artificially from Aqueous Solutions of Regenerated Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin are Tougher than their Natural Counterparts
2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag Gm The dragline silk of certain spiders has excellent tensile properties that are maintained over a remarkable temperature range. Although the commercial Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori) silk is considerably weaker and less tough than the best spider dragline silks, fibers with comprehensive mechanical properties approaching that of spiders can be obtained by force-reeling ...
متن کاملThe preparation of regenerated silk fibroin microspheres
The objective of the present study is to investigate the possibility of preparing pure protein microspheres from regenerated silk fibroin (RSF). It is found that RSF microspheres, with predictable and controllable sizes ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 mm, can be prepared via mild selfassembling of silk fibroin molecular chains. The merits of this novel method include a rather simple production apparatu...
متن کاملToward spinning artificial spider silk.
Spider silk is strong and extensible but still biodegradable and well tolerated when implanted, making it the ultimate biomaterial. Shortcomings that arise in replicating spider silk are due to the use of recombinant spider silk proteins (spidroins) that lack native domains, the use of denaturing conditions under purification and spinning and the fact that the understanding of how spiders contr...
متن کاملBioinspired green composite lotus fibers.
Owing to the growing global environmental problems, demands for environmentally friendly, fully biodegradable sustainable composites have substantially increased across various industries. Inspired by the composite structure of cocoon silk, we fabricated a fully green composite fiber (GCF) that is based on the lotus fiber (LF) and a biodegradable polymer, namely poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). After...
