Abstract

In this paper, the influences of dilute alkali treatment of silk fiber on its destruction have been investigated on the relation between the surface structure and its physical properties.<br>Silk fibroins were treated in textural form with 0.1 N NaOH solution for the different length of time (2-12 hours) at 70°C, and then their surface gtructure was observed by means of the electron microscope.<br>While swelling and solving of the surface of silk fibroin take place, growth of surface ups-and-downs and states of piled-up structure and unheaving phenomena occur and the structure of fiber is gradualy destroyed.
