It addresses recent advances in our understanding of the properties of silk and offers systematic coverage of the processing of silk from spinning through to finishing, as well as an analysis of quality testing for silk fibres, yarns and fabrics. Part Two then addresses important applications of silk from silkworms and spiders, and includes chapters on the use of silk in polymer matrix composites and in different kinds of biomaterial. The book concludes with a chapter on developments in the use of silk waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Processing and properties of silk from silkworms and spider silk \u003c\/b\u003e1 Advances in understanding the properties of silk 2 Advances in understanding the properties of spider silk 3 Advances in the spinning, weaving and knitting of silk 4 Advances in the dyeing and printing of silk 5 Advances in the finishing of silk fabrics 6 Enzyme applications in silk processing  7 Advanced testing of silk fibres, yarns and fabrics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II Applications of silk from silkworms and spider silk 8 Silk as a reinforcement in polymer matrix composites 9 Processing of silk biomaterials 10 Structure and properties of spider and silkworm silk for tissue scaffolds 11 Silk as a suture material 12 The use of spider silk as a biomaterial  13 Developments in the use of silk byproducts and silk waste\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Other manufacturing technologies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Other manufacturing technologies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Other%20manufacturing%20technologies%20%5BTDP%5D%22\"\u003eTDP\u003c\/a\u003e], Textile \u0026amp; fibre technology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Textile \u0026amp; fibre technology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Textile%20\u0026amp;%20fibre%20technology%20%5BTDH%5D%22\"\u003eTDH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Woodhead Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651671445784,"sku":"9781782423119","price":115.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781782423119.jpg?v=1696410407","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/advances-in-silk-science-and-technology-hardback-9781782423119","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
