Fibrous Morphology

Natural silk fibers were used as the template to synthesis biomorphic ZnO fibers. Silk fibers were first immersed into a Zn(NO3)2 solution and then sintered in air at high temperatures to produce the final ZnO fibers. Their microstructures, phases, and synthesis process were analyzed. The results show that these synthesized fibers retained the morphologies of silk faithfully. The sintering temperatures had the effect on the continuity of the biomorphic fibers. The crystallite sizes of these biomorphic ZnO are in nano scale. The fabrication process of biomorphic ceramic included the formation of ZnO and removal of their silk templates. The ZnO formed before the removal of the silk-template, so that the fibrous morphology of the silk could be retained to this ZnO. The method of using bio-template could provide a new idea for the design of oxide fiber.

Good Biocompatibility

This study was aimed to develop a tissue engineering scaffold by incorporation of Bombyx mori silk fiber (BMSF) and agar. This promised the improvement in enhancing their advantageous properties as well as limiting their defects without occurring chemical reactions or crosslink formation. The morphology and chemical structure of scaffolds were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. The SEM results show that scaffolds containing BMSF have microporous structures, which are suitable for cell adhesion. Agar scaffolds, by contrast, had much more flat morphology. FT-IR spectra confirm that no modifications to BMSF happened in scaffolds, which indicates that there was no chemical reaction or crosslink formation between silk and agar in this process. Furthermore, the biocompatibility of scaffolds was performed in the mouse’s subcutaneous part of the dorsal region for 15 days, followed by Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining. H&E staining results demonstrate that scaffolds had good biocompatibility and there was no sign of the body rejection in all of samples. The results from animal study show that SA scaffolds have the most stable structure for cell adhesion compared with those single materials.

Β Sheet

Biomimic silk fibers with refined crystalline structure were produced via incorporating cellulose nanocrystals into silk fibroin matrix to mimic the β-sheet crystallites in natural silk. The fibers exhibit excellent thermal and mechanical properties, attributed to the strong hydrogen bonding interactions between cellulose nanocrystals and silk fibroin as well as cellulose nanocrystal-induced ordered structure.
