Novel Silkworm Pupa Protein (SPP)/Polyester Fabric

Abstract:

Polyester has excellent mechanical properties and silkworm pupa protein(SPP) has good biocompatibility. In this paper, polyester was semi-inlaid with sucrose ester, and then grafted with SPP by self-made crosslinking agent. SEM photograph showed after grafting, a layer of compound was covered on the surface of polyester fiber. FT-IR spectra indicated that SPP had been grafted onto the polyester. The wearability testing showed that the SPP/PET fabric exhibited improved wettability and antistatic property as well as suitable crease elasticity and softness.
