Recently considerable effort has been directed toward the silk fibroin use as a biotechnological material in biomedical applications on account of its excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility. However, the crystallinity of the silk fibroin decreases during the process of the regenerating silk fibroin, resulting in a deterioration of the mechanical properties of regenerated silk fibroin compared to natural cocoon fiber. Therefore, the possibility of producing silk fibroin-base biomaterials by blending with other polymers or adding reinforcements is of great interest. In this study, silk fibroin/cellulose nanocrystals nanocomposites were prepared by electrospinningsi. The morphology and microstructure of the electrospun nanofibers were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The tensile properties of the nanofibers were enhanced by the incorporation of a small amount of cellulose nanocrystals. |
