Fibroin protein derived from silk fibres has been extensively studied with exciting outcomes for a number of potential advanced biomaterial applications. However, one of the major challenges in applications lies in engineering fibroin into a desired form using a convenient production technology. In this paper, fabrication of ultrafine powder from eri silk is reported. The silk cocoons were degummed...
Three commercial silk varieties, namely mulberry, muga and eri, were used to prepare ultra-fine silk particles. Degummed silk fibres were chopped into short snippets and then pulverised using rotary and planetary ball milling. The effects of degree of degumming, size of milling media, water and lubricant on particle refinement were studied. Before milling, single fibre strength tests were conducted...
