26 Polymer Information
Chemical Structure of Silk (Silk Fibroin)
- Biodegradable, biocompatible because of sericin’s solubility.
- Silk fibrous protein of semi-crystalline structure provides stiffness and strength
- Silk fibrous molecules can form micelles to arrange themselves and produce microspheres through certain processing methods.
- The fundamental components of the cocoon which are water and the protein (Silk fibroin solution) can be processed into single structures of film, 3D, particulates structure. Also, multi-level structure into 3d printing and micropatterning.
