습식방사를 이용한 silk fibroin/silver nanoparticles 복합섬유의 제조

초록

Silk fibroin is a protein fiber that can be applied to biotechnical and bioactive polymer with mechanical strength, elasticity, and suppleness. Due to biocompatibility and biodegradability, regenerated silk fibroin have been proposed for many purposes with various forms such as sponge, membrane and film. Silver has a long history of successful medical and public health use and has been claimed to kill many different disease organisms due to its nano-size and larger total surface area per unit volume. Moreover, silver is skin friendly and does not cause skin irritation. In this study, we prepared silk fibroin/silver nanoparticles filaments by the wet-spinning process.
