Effect of Calcium Salt Treatment on the Structure and Properties of Tussah silk and Mulberry silk
This paper considers tussah and mulberry silk as targets to research the differences of their structures and properties when treated by calcium salt. The study reveals that the water-dissolved rate of tussah is less than that of mulberry silk under the same conditions; the breaking strength decreases of the two silks are consistent with each other, while the breaking elongation of tussah increases and the other decreases. The molecular conformations of the two silk fibers change from J-sheet to a-helix and random coil during calcium salt treatment and this change is more obvious in mulberry silk fibers. The crystallinity of tussah increases after calcium salt treatment for 30 minutes, while mulberry silk decreases.
