Preparation and characterization of electrospun silk fibroin/sericin blend fibers

Abstract

Abstract

Preparation of regenerated silk fibroin/silk sericin fibers by coaxial electrospinning

“…Several copper meshes coated with carbon were previously placed on the aluminum foils to collect the fiber samples for transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis. In this work, the electrospun pure SF fibers were also prepared as described previously for comparison [29].…”

Utilization of Proteinic Biopolymers: Current Status and Future Prospects

“…This composite material was developed to improve the structure and mechanical property of the regenerated silk by sericin [72]. In a similar research, sericin enhanced the electrospinnability of the regenerated silk fibroin blend to produce high-quality regenerated silk materials used in medical field [73].…”

Tunable Structures and Properties of Electrospun Regenerated Silk Fibroin Mats Annealed in Water Vapor at Different Times and Temperatures

“…The B. mori cocoons were boiled twice in 0.5 wt% Na 2 CO 3 solution to remove sericin. Degummed silks were then dissolved in 9.0 M LiBr aqueous solution at 40 ∘ C for 2 h and further dialyzed in deionized water at 10 ∘ C for 3 days according to the established procedures [19]. Ultimately, a purified 33 wt% SF solution was obtained through concentrating at 10 ∘ C.…”
