Rheo-attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy: a new tool to study biopolymers.
Whilst rheology is the reference technique to study the mechanical properties of unspun silk, we know little of the structure and the dynamics that generate them. By coupling infrared spectroscopy and shearing forces to study silk fibroin conversion, we are introducing a novel tool to address this g...
