摘要: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are in situ synthesized for the first time on microfibrillated silk (MFS) exfoliated from domesticated Philosamia cynthia ricini (eri) and Bombyx mori (mulberry) silkworm fibers. The process is rapid (hours time), does not rely harmful chemicals, produces robust flexible AgNPs coated MFS (MFS-AgNPs) protein papers with excellent handling properties. None of these can be achieved by approaches used past to fabricate systems. bonds strongly, providing good support stabilization NPs, leading strong wash fastness. mechanical properties MFS-AgNPs largely do change compared without nanoparticles, except some higher concentration case mulberry silk. improved tensile eri or attributed degree fibrillation its inherent ductility. also exhibit antibacterial activity. This study provides basis development smart based fiber functional nanomaterials.
