Current state of the perturbation-based generalized two-dimensional (2D) correlation
spectroscopy is reviewed with the emphasis placed on the advances made since August …

We investigated the polymer− water interaction in a model fibrous protein. Bombyx mori silk
fibroin film, a typical model of biodegradable material, was cast from aqueous solution and …

Lepidopteran silks number in the thousands and display a vast diversity of structures,
properties and industrial potential. To map this remarkable biochemical diversity, we present …

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) developed using eco-friendly natural materials
instead of traditional electronic materials are more favorable for biocompatible applications …

The objective of the present study is to investigate the possibility of preparing pure protein
microspheres from regenerated silk fibroin (RSF). It is found that RSF microspheres, with …

Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) has been widely used to Infrared,
Raman, Near IR, Optical Activity (ROA), Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) and …

We used two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy to disentangle the broad infrared band in
the amide II vibrational regions of Bombyx mori native silk films, identifying the single amide …

Use of structural colors for humidity sensors has great potential owing to their not being
power driven and having distinct stimulus/color variation properties, but unfortunately most …

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and rheological measurements were performed on aqueous
silk fibroin solutions extracted from the middle division of Bombyx mori silkworm over a wide …

Silk fibroin is a very promising biomedical material because of its renewability, nontoxicity,
biocompatibility, and biodegradability. On the basis of a simple and mild method for the …
