Purpose This paper aims to extracted sericin from the cocoons of Bombyx mori silkworms,
and sericin powder was applied onto drawn textured polyethylene terephthalate (PET) yarns …

Sericin, a silk protein, has high potential for use in biomedical applications. It has important
attributes such as excellent oxygen permeability, cell protecting and antioxidant action …

Sericin is a natural protein which is removed from silk in a process called degumming. In
India, 250-300 tons of sericin is extracted per year and goes as waste, it has wide range of …

Sericin powder was prepared from a boiled solution of silk cocoons through salting‐out with
ammonium sulfate. The obtained sericin powder was characterized with Fourier transform …

Silk sericin is a family of water-soluble proteins extracted from the silkworm cocoon. Studies
have been attempted to recycle the sericin waste sericulture to develop value-added …

In this study, a process has been developed for durable coating of sericin on polyester. Pre
modification of polyester with alkali (sodium hydroxide) has been carried out to incorporate …

In this study, we fixed silk sericin in fabrics as a finishing product. First of all, we have
extracted sericin from silkworm cocoons in order to obtain the optimum yield of sericin that is …

Recently, nonwoven fabrics from natural silk have attracted considerable attention for
biomedical and cosmetic applications because of their good mechanical properties and …

Silk sericin has been studied for application in the biomedical and cosmetic fields, given its
good water retention and wound-healing properties. Although sericin can be obtained by …

We studied the key characteristics of a novel silk yarn reeled from fresh cocoons. Compared
with traditional silk yarn, this novel silk yarn displayed better mechanical properties …
