28 Conclusion

Reverse engineer to obtain material protein from cocoon.

silk is sustainable and biodegradable, implantable without immune response, biocompatible, easy disposal, edible use the building block to make films simple recipe of pouring, waiting for protein self-assembly, detaching to obtain film potential of hologram of silk, optical fibers, microneedles, gears bolts, gear in water, small vein replacement, bone replacement [2]2.

Using the special characteristics and properties of silk fibroin such as non-immunogenic response, semi-crystallin structure that provides stiffness and strenght, biocompatibility, biodegradability, oxygen permeability, and higher porous networks allows the development of silk film for corneal tissue engineering to support tissue regeneration [1][2].

Question 1) What are the special characteristics and properties silk is capable of utilizing for film development.

Question 2) What type of silk was used?

Question 3) Draw out the a diagram showing the steps/procedure for silk film development. Please use the content on the author’s paper.

Question 4) Draw out a fish bone diagram that includes future potential application of silk except film development.

Question 5) Come up with 3 major points that you have gain from this content.
