Thermal Conductivity Measurements of Thermal conductivity of silk fibroin fibers by 3ω-method (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0045-WXH)

Introduction

Silk fibroin (SF) is composed by glycine, alanine, and serine in different percentages. SF fibers are obtained from diverse sources such as non- and mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori, insects, and spiders.<br />Silk fibroin can form porous 3D structures, namely sponges, foams, or scaffolds, which could be used for biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, implantable devices, and disease models.
