Science and Technology of Silkworm Sericin: Extractions, Modifications and Applications

Focuses on the development and performance of many novel strategies for sericin extraction, modification, and its application. This book includes contributions from leading researchers in the fields of materials science, medical science, chemical science, and nanotechnology from companies, university, government, and private research institutes all around the world. Graduates and postgraduates, as well as research experts, will find this book to be an invaluable resource (primarily in the field of materials science, medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry and nanoscience and nanotechnology).

In addition, nearly every analytical approach has been covered. As a result, academics, students, industry, scientists, and end-users will be able to benefit from it.

- All available characterization techniques of sericin structures rigorously addressed

- Application-focused chapters, as most of the research is being done on biomedical applications such as wound healing, pharmaceutical uses, and cancer treatment

- Reviews the theory, modeling, and simulation of sericin-based biomaterials are explored as a novel area of competence

- Provides assessment based on environmental implications, which is now seen as an integral part of science in the new research culture, as well as the circular economy in the silk sector, is examined

- Offers in-depth coverage of emerging areas of sericin-based research, such as sericin in nutraceuticals
