Nanocellulose-based materials for sustainable soil remediation and water purification
… silkworm cocoons, a guanidine-functionalized sericin/nanocellulose aerogel (GSNA) is designed for application in the rapid removal of both bacteria and heavy metals from water. The grafted polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) endows the biomimetic aerogel with exceptional bactericidal activity. …

Behavior of a silkworm silk fiber web structure under wind load
… amorphous region. The silk fiber is coated with sericin which acts as a glue connecting fibers together and as a matrix in the three-dimensional nonwoven multi-layer composite structure of the cocoon. These properties can be engineered and enhanced with forced reeling silk: fast spun silks are …
