Figure 1. Viscosity of silk solution needed for gel-spinning.

Figure 1.

Silk solutions of increasing boiling times (5MB, 10MB, 20MB and 30MB which correlate to decreasing molecular weights) and increasing concentrations were prepared. The viscosity of these silk solutionswere characterized with a cone-plate viscometer. A trend of increase in viscosity with decreasing boiling time (increasing molecular weight) and increasing solution concentration was seen.
