Changes in Natural Silk Fibres by Hydration, Tensile Loading and Heating as Studied by <sup>1</sup>H NMR: Anisotropy in NMR Relaxation Times

<i>B. mori</i> silkworm natural silk is a fibrous biopolymer with a block copolymer design containing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions. Using <sup>1</sup>H NMR relaxation, this work studied <i>B. mori</i> natural silk fibres oriented at 0° and 90° to the s...
