This article deals with the characterization of blend films obtained by mixing silk fibroin (SF) and polyacrylamide (PAAm). The DSC curves of SF/PAAm blend films showed overlapping of the main thermal transitions characteristic of the individual polymers. The exothermic peak at 218ยฐC, assigned to th
Silk filament is spun by domestic silkworm, Bombyx mori. Wild silkworms also produce the same type of fibrous proteins, fibroins, which are practically used for silk gut or spinning yarn. Previously, we have reported the glass transition temperatures of fibroins obtained from domestic silkworm1.2 an
