Abstract

Fibrous mat was produced from eri silk fibroin by electro spinning. The fibrous mat was tested for tensile properties and in-vitro bio-degradation by enzymatic treatment. The tensile strength of the mat was 5.3 MPa and its elastic modulus was 49 MPa before bio-degradation. The weight loss obtained after 30 days of degradation was 34%. The in-vitro enzymatic degradation of fibrous mat was confirmed through Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies.

Keywords: Eri silk; In-vitro degradation; FTIR; Tensile strength; Scaffold
