Abstract

The molecular weight of silk fibroin in several different solvent systems has been measured by light‐scattering techniques. The values obtained lie between 250,000 and 450,000, with a tendency to lie fairly close to 300,000. The difference between this value of the molecular weight and the values obtained by other workers is discussed.

## Abstract **Summary:** The thermal and structural analysis of silk fibroin (SF) and silk sericin (SS) blend films reveals that the crystallization of SF is retarded in the presence of SS. Although a phase separation was observed, there might be a strong interaction at the boundary of the SF and S
