Samia cynthia ricini

Studies of structure-property relationships are very active. It is well known that such dynamics as the several orders of the scale of the motions significantly influence the properties of polymers including silk fibroins. However, previous study of silk fibroin from the viewpoint of dynamics is limited and therefore, in this review, we describe mainly our work on the study of the dynamics of silk fibroins from B. mori and Samia cynthia ricini (S.c. ricini). The latter silkworm is a wild one and the NMR study was performed as a comparison with B. mori silk because of the amino acid composition changes. 

In recent research, recombinant hybrid silk fibers that incorporate both the highly crystalline domains of native silk fibroin from silkworms and the amorphous domains from a different variety of silk (from a wild species of silkworm Samia cynthia ricini) were electrospun fromhexafluoroacetone (HFA) solution...
