Effect of solvents on properties of Bombyx mori silk grafted by methyl methacrylate (MMA) and methacrylamide (MAA)

Mulberry silks were chemically modified in order to increase weight gain, resulting from degumming process using graft copolymerisation technique with vinyl monomers, i.e. MMA, MAA and MMA/MAA.
