Ex Situ and In Situ Artificial Thermo-Aging Study of the Natural Degradation of <i>Bombyx mori</i> Silk Fibroin

This study investigates the degradation mechanism of silk fibroin through Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The secondary structure of silk fibroin-based materials is monitored using FTIR, and various estimators are calculated to assess the impact of degradation conditions a...
