“…By using RTM and film infusion, we can produce the composites with low cost and with superior properties (Ude et al, 2014). For example, it produces a lower amount of waste because of the use of a simply designed mold.…”

“…The interfacial adhesion between them plays an important role in determining the performance of the composites. Some mechanical and physical properties of fibers are given in Table 8.1 (Ude et al, 2014;Kelvin Loh and Willy Tan, 2011). Hydrophilic nature takes a poor interfacial bond with polymer matrices, which decrease the mechanical properties of the composites.…”

“…Silk has a smooth, soft texture that is not slippery, unlike many fibers (Ude et al, 2014;Kelvin Loh and Willy Tan, 2011;Mahmoodi et al, 2010;Tanaka, 2002;Richard, 1955). The fibroin-heavy chain is composed mostly of beta sheets due to a 59-mer amino acid repeat sequence with some variations.…”

“…The result indicates that there was no chemical reaction or crosslink formation between silk and agar. Silk and agar are well investigated in other studies [9,10,25] and were proven to have good biocompatibility and no toxicity toward the body system. This result confirms that there is no change of properties of initial components.…”

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.
