Silk fibers were treated with methacrylamide (MAA), and changes in the mechanical properties of the silk fibers were investigated. The breaking load of the silk fibers was almost unchanged, whereas rigidity was markedly increased by the methylmethacrylate (MAA) treatment. Elongation a t break of the

Tussah silk fibers were treated with methacrylamide (MAA). The polymerization of MAA onto tussah silk fibers and the mechanical properties of the MAAtreated tussah silk fibers were investigated. The tanning agent contained in tussah silk fibers acted as an inhibitor to the radical polymerization of
Domestic (Bombyx mori) and wild (tussah, Antherueapernyi) silk fabrics were treated with diluted NaOH solutions by the padbatch method. The equilibrium moisture regain of tussah silk fibers increased steadily with alkaline treatment, while that of B. mori did not change. B. mori tensile strength and
The chemical reactivity of epoxide molecules toward silk fibroin was investigated by determining the rate of conversion of reactive amino acid residues. Significant differences were found between two different bifunctional epoxides, diglycidyl ethers of ethylene glycol ( E ) and resorcinol (R) , the
## Abstract The mechanical properties such as the tenacity, breaking extension, initial modulus, elastic and work recovery, and stress relaxation behavior of methyl methacrylate (MMA) grafted silk fibers prepared under different conditions were measured and explained in terms of the relative domina
