Enhancing Effect of Glycerol on the Tensile Properties of Bombyx mori Cocoon Sericin Films

An environmental physical method described herein was developed to improve the tensile properties of Bombyx mori cocoon sericin films, by using the plasticizer of glycerol, which has a nontoxic effect compared with other chemical crosslinkers. The changes in the tensile characteristics and the struc...
