Characterization of Raw Silk Fibers Obtained by Feeding Silkworms with Protein Powder
High-strength raw silk fibers were obtained by feeding the silkworm larvae with a modified feed containing down-powder. The relationship between different content of down-powder and the mechanical properties of raw silk fibers was studied. Furthermore, the morphology, chemical structures, crystallin...
