Silk components

Silver Thick Films. About half of the silver consumed in the United States for its electrical properties is used by the electronics industry. Of this amount some 40% is used for the preparation of thick-film pastes in circuit paths and capacitors. These are silk-screened onto ceramic or plastic circuit boards for multilayer circuit sandwich components. 

It has been shown by IR-spectroscopic investigations which evidence on the appearance of new absorption bands after chitosan introducing, elementary analyses data. (N, occurrence in the samples, which quantity depends on chitosan nature and isolation conditions) It leads to significant increase of sorption capacity and specific surface of sorbents, which contain chitosan from silk waren chrysalises. Where as these parameters decrease for sorbents with chitosan from crabs. Evidently it is connected to more dense structure of the last one. It has been shown, that yield of sorbent on the base of PES and chitosan obtained by sol-gel method has depended significantly on such factors as components ratio, temperature, catalyst quantity etc. 

The rubber polyisoprene is a natural polymer. So, too, are cellulose and lignin, the main components of wood and straw, and so are proteins like wool or silk. We use cellulose in vast quantities as paper and (by treating it with nitric acid) we make celluloid and cellophane out of it. But the vast surplus of lignin left from wood processing, or available in straw, cannot be processed to give a useful polymer. If it could, it...

Alternative wind models assume a selective outflow of enriched material, either taking place at the time of star formation bursts in dwarf galaxies (Matteucci Tosi 1985) or taking place continuously from the hot component of the ISM which is also assumed to be metal-enriched (Vader 1987 Ferreras, Scannapieco Silk 2002). An analytical model by Lynden-Bell (1992) supposes that, of the return fraction 1 — a from a generation of stars, a fraction 1 — / escapes, leading via Eq. (7.34) to...

Many brilliantly coloured and tinctorially strong basic dyes for silk and tannin-mordanted cotton were developed in the early decades of the synthetic dye industry. Most of these belonged to the acridine, azine, oxazine, triarylmethane, xanthene and related chemical classes their molecules are usually characterised by one delocalised positive charge. Thus in crystal violet (1.29) the cationic charge is shared between the three equivalent methylated p-amino nitrogen atoms. A few of these traditional basic dyes are still of some interest in the dyeing of acrylic fibres, notably as components of cheap mixture navies and blacks, but many modified basic dyes were introduced from the 1950s onwards for acrylic and modacrylic fibres, as well as for basic-dyeable variants of nylon and polyester [44] ... 

Azoic coupling can be achieved on silk where free amino groups have been introduced into the fibroin structure by condensation with 4-aminobenzaldehyde. The diazotised material can then be treated with an azoic coupling component [109]. 

We know that cellulose (chief component of the cell walls of a plant), proteins essential constituents of living cells, rubber, leather and natural fibres like silk, wool, etc. are all polymers and these are known as natural polymers. 

A practical enzymatic procedure using alcalase as biocatalyst has been developed for the synthesis of hydrophilic peptides.Alcalase is an industrial alkaline protease from Bacillus licheniformis produced by Novozymes that has been used as a detergent and for silk degumming. The major enzyme component of alcalase is the serine protease subtilisin Carlsberg, which is one of the fully characterized bacterial proteases. Alcalase has better stability and activity in polar organic solvents, such as alcohols, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, etc., than other proteases. In addition, alcalase has wide specificity and both l- and o-amino acids that are accepted as nucleophiles at the p-1 subsite. Therefore, alcalase is a suitable biocatalyst to catalyse peptide bond formation in organic solvents under kinetic control without any racemization of the amino acids (Scheme 5.1). 

Chloro-ort/2o-toluidine is used as a dye intermediate in the s mthesis of Pigment Red 11, Pigment Yellow 77 and for Azoic Coupling Component 21. It is also used as a dye for cotton, silk and nylon (National Library of Medicine, 1999)...
