- •
Bombyx mori cocoons degummed and regummed into biocomposites sheets.
- •
Regummed biocomposite sheets have higher toughness than B. mori cocoons since they have unidirectional fibres.
- •
Cocoons fail through fast fracture whereas regummed biocomposites stretch and fail through interfibre shear.
- •
Research shows that waste degummed sericin from cocoons can be reused to create cocoons in more technologically useable forms.
