Abstract
We studied the effect of electrospinning parameters on the morphology and fiber diameter of regenerated silk from Bombyx mori. Effects of electric field and tip-to-collection plate distances of various silk concentrations in formic acid on fiber uniformity, morphology and diameter were measured. Statistical analysis showed that the silk concentration was the most important parameter in producing uniform cylindrical fibers less than 100 nm in diameter.
