Does Thermal Annealing Affect the Mechanical Properties of Silkworm (Bombyx mori) Cocoon Silk?

Abstract: It has been reported [1] that microwave radiation can enhance many of the mechanical properties of Bombyx mori silkworm cocoon silk, as measured in constant strain rate tensile tests to failure and in stress relaxation tests. The consequences of microwave radiation will affect decisions about the use of silk in settings subjected to significant microwave exposure – for example, as a reinforcing fiber in an epoxy matrix composite that may be microwave cured, or as a component in aircraft radomes.There are two p… Show more
