Problems solved by technology

Thanks to its unique multi-level structure, natural silk fiber already has very excellent mechanical properties. The performance improvement on this basis will be the best way to prepare high-performance silk protein fibers. If the natural silk structure can be improved Recombination, and then transforming silk by stretching and setting process, theoretically, the result of strong spinning should also be obtained; however, the formed natural silk fiber is mainly antiparallel β-fold crystal structure, and its aggregated structure is very stable. Difficult to change, so physical stretching post-processing is not possible with existing technolo

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-performance natural silk fiber and a preparation method thereof. High-performance silk fiber is formed by taking cocoon silk, raw silk, twisted silk or silk weaving yarn as raw materials and then performing contracting or stretching. The method specifically comprises the steps that inorganic salt, acid and water are mixed according to a certain ratio to prepare a silk swelling solution; the silk fiber is immersed into the swelling solution, and then stretching or contracting is performed; lastly, rinsing with clear water, neutralizing treating and drying are performed to obtain the high-performance natural silk fiber. The preparation method is simple, effective and short in process, the breaking strength of the silk fiber prepared through the method is comparable with that of spider silk, and therefore the high-performance natural silk fiber is suitable for application of the advanced technical fields of artificial ligaments, ophthalmological sutures, protective garments and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of natural polymer materials, and in particular relates to a high-performance natural silk fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Silk is a continuous long fiber formed by the cocooning of silk glands secreted by silk glands when cooked silkworms make cocoons. It is one of the earliest animal fibers used by humans. According to different foods, silk is divided into mulberry silk, tussah silk, celestial silk and castor silk. The thread drawn from a single silkworm cocoon is called cocoon silk, which is made of two single fibers bonded and covered by sericin. The cocoon filaments of several silkworm cocoons are drawn out, and the silk strips formed by bonding and wrapping with sericin are called raw silk. Several raw silks are processed into twisted yarns or braided sutures after processes such as winding, merging, twisting or weaving. As a high-grade textile raw material, silk products...
