Sericin and fibroin are the two major proteins in the silk fibre produced by the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori.
This phenomenon is attributed to the disruption of inter- and intra-molecular bonding on the silk fibre with PLA during the mixing process, and consequent reduction of the silk fibre strength.
Using silk fibre as reinforcement for bio-polymers could enhance the stiffness of scaffoldings and bone implants.
This indicates that the protein molecules in the spider silk fibre undergo direct molecular deformation when the fibre is stretched.
Therefore, it is a need to detailedly study the effect on different degumming processes to the properties of the silk fibre for real-life applications.
Silk fibre has been popularly used for bio-medical engineering and surgically-operational applications for centuries because of its biocompatible and bioresorbable properties.
