  1. 1. Silk's sweet spot: untangling the requirements for artificial silk extrusion using a biomimetic approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Rodrigo Sanches Pires; [2019]
    Keywords : silk fibroin; injectability; extrusion; hydrogels; soft matter mechanics; biomimetic progressive acidification; silk self-assembly; thioflavin t; physical chemistry; biofabrication; spectroscopy; silk spinning; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Up to this date, only a few silk hydrogels were reported to be injectable. Of these, none are truly biomimetic, and are instead comprised of blends with limited amounts of silk. Hence, no truly silk-based hydrogels exist as of today. READ MORE

  3. 2. Insekter som livsmedel : möjligheter och utmaningar i att designa avelsprogram

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Agnes Fridell; [2017]
    Keywords : Acheta domesticus; Tenebrio; Apis mellifera; Bombyx mori; entomophagy; avelsprogram;

    Abstract : Insekter har föreslagits som ett möjligt alternativ för att producera klimatsmart kött. Det beror delvis på deras höga foderomvandlingsförmåga. Foderomvandlingsför-mågan innebär att de kan födas upp på mindre foder i jämförelse med andra djur. Det kan vara ett bra sätt att använda markresurserna. READ MORE

  4. 3. Intrinsically Functionalized Silk (Bombyx Mori)

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Gabriel Åberg; [2013]
    Keywords : Silk; Fibroin; Fibers; Coated fibers; Conductive Polymers; Flourescence; Silkworm; Bombyx Mori; Conjugated polymers;

    Abstract : The goal of the thesis is to incorporate materials with either fluorescent or conductive properties in silk fibers, by feeding silkworms with a diet containing these materials. To achieve this, one would have to breed (rear) silkworm from eggs into larvaes, then to feed the silkworms with this special diet containing fluorescent or conductive materials. READ MORE

  5. 4. Dyeing of Wool and Silk Fibres with a Conductive Polyelectrolyte and Comparing Their Conductance

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Institutionen Textilhögskolan

    Author : Muhammad Ahsen Khan; [2012]
    Keywords : conjugated polyelectrolyte; conductive polymers; conductive protein fibres; fluorescent dyes;

    Abstract : Polyelectrolytes are conductive polymers because of their ionic side group and PEDOT-S is one of those conductive polyelectrolytes. Previously, recombinant silk fibre has been dyed with PEDOT-S. PEDOT-S showed that it can be dyed with recombinant silk fibre over a very wide range of pH from 11 to 1.7. READ MORE
