| Abstract | ABSTRACT: The effect of water on regenerated silk-worm silk fibers has been studied and compared with that of water on natural silkworm silk fibers. Regener-ated fibers are spun from an N-methylmorpholine-N-ox-ide (NMMO) fibroin solution through a wet-spinning process, leading to fibers with two distinct tensile behav-iors, labeled as brittle and ductile, respectively. Regener-ated fibers show a significant contraction when immersed in water. Contraction increases further after drying. In contrast, natural silkworm silk fibers show a negligible contraction when submerged in water. Regen-erated fibers tested in water are considerably more com- |
