Physical properties and structure of silk. VI. Conformational changes in silk fibroin induced by immersion in water at 2 to 130°c

Abstract: Silk fibroin films in the random‐coil and β‐form conformations were immersed in water at temperatures from 2 to 130°C, and conformational changes were followed by x‐ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. On treatment with water below 60°C, the random‐coil conformation is converted to the α form and above 70°C to mixtures of the α and β conformations. The β‐form content increases as the immersion temperature is raised. The β form is not affected by immersion in water in th… Show more

“…In addition, the thermal decomposition temperature was detected at about 280.99 ℃ (listed in Table 2). The small exothermic peak and the higher temperature endothermic peak could be attributed to the random coil-β-pleated sheet conformation transition [26][27][28] and to the thermal degradation of silk molecular chains [29]; the lower temperature endothermic peak was attributed by many authors to the water lost during the DSC test procedure [30][31].…”

“…The cross-linking with tripolyphosphate was confirmed by FTIR spectra. The peak at 1644 cm −1 represents the cross-linking of tripolyphosphate molecule with the amino group of chitosan through C=N (42)(43)(44)(45)(46). Cross-linking of nanofiber with glutaraldehyde is associated with the absorption peak near 1090 cm .…”
