Mechanical properties of silk fibroin–microcrystalline cellulose composite films
Abstract
Silk fibroin–microcrystalline cellulose (cellulose whisker) composite films with varied compositions were prepared by casting mixed aqueous solution/suspensions of the two components. Silk fibroin was dissolved in 10 M LiSCN followed by dialysis; a cellulose whisker suspension was prepared by sulfuric acid hydrolysis of tunicate cellulose. Macroscopically homogeneous films were obtained at all mixing ratios. While the Young's modulus of the composite films showed a linear, additive dependence on the mixing ratio, the tensile strength and ultimate strain showed a maximum at a 70–80% cellulose content, reaching five times those of fibroin‐alone or cellulose‐alone films. At the same mixing ratio, infrared spectra of the composite films showed a shift of the amide I peak from 1654 to 1625 cm−1, indicating the conformational change of fibroin from a random coil to a β structure (silk II) at the whisker–matrix interface. This change seems to be induced by contact of fibroin molecules with a highly ordered surface of cellulose whisker. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 86: 3425–3429, 2002

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
