Floss silk was dissolved with a neutral salt solution and pieces of cotton gauze were immersed in it. Coating was done most effectively in the presence of Mg++ ion, especially under acidic (pH 4-5) Conditions. getting a weight gain as much as 36% of the weight of the starting piece. Moreover, it was possible to coat the fiber with micro silk powder by this method. Pieces of gauze thus treated were well stained with acidic dyes that never dye plain cellulose fibers, showing that they were actually covered with fibroin protein. EDTA in the fibroin solution obviously lowered the ratio of covering, showing that the bivalent metal ions are necessary for fibroin to attach on the cellulose fiber. Fibroins were broken down into soluble small peptides by a certain kind of proteolytic enzyme. Peptides are expected as materials applied for the graft polymerization on synthetic fibers., Article, 先進ファイバー工学研究教育拠点研究成果報告書 11: 40-40(2005)}, title = {15_2_2 : シルクフィブロイン-セルロース複合再生繊維の実用性能溶解フィブロインによる木綿繊維のコーティング}, year = {2005} }
