Abstract | Silkworm silk fibre extracted from cocoon has been well recognized as a promising material for bio-medical engineering applications because of its superior mechanical and bioresorbable properties. Degumming is a surface modification process which allows a wide control of the silk fibre's properties, making the fibre possible to be used for the development and production of novel bio-composites with unique/specific mechanical and biodegradable properties. In this paper, the thermal properties and secondary structure were investigated to study the effects of distilled boiling water degumming. It was found that the degumming time had a little effect on the thermal decomposition properties and secondary structure of the silk fibre. |
