  1. 1. Flexible and recyclable electronics made from nanoreinforced silk

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Marek Bukovský; [2020]
    Keywords : Wearable electronics; flexible electronics; silk fibroin; MXene; nanocomposites; Bärbar elektronik; flexibel elektronik; silkes fibriller; MXene; nanokompositer;

    Abstract : Forskningsområdet för bärbar elektronik är fortfarande relativt ungt och det finns ett stort behov av utveckling av nya material inom området. Olika typer av kompositer är mycket intressanta och de ska uppvisa såväl hög hållfasthet som goda ledande egenskaper. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  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
