A Comparative Study on the Dissolution of <i>Argema mimosae</i> Silk Fibroin and Fabrication of Films and Nanofibers

A Comparative Study on the Dissolution of <i>Argema mimosae</i> Silk Fibroin and Fabrication of Films and Nanofibers

Limited studies have been done on silk fibroins of wild silkworm species owing to their relative insolubility in many solvents. In this study, the solubility of <i>Argema mimosae</i> wild silk fibroin in different salts (LiBr, LiCl, Ca(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>,...
