| Abstract: | Study of the morphology, aggregation structure and properties ofBombyx mori silk treated by low temperatureoxygen plasma showed that slight flutes appeared on the surface of Bombyx mori silk fiber and that its surface structurechanged after plasma treatment. The conformation also changed and crystalline degree decreased. The stannic filling rate oftreated fiber was improved. Because of etching, the weight of the fiber decreased but the breaking strength changed littleafter short-time treatment. |
