Silk sericin (SS) is a gluelike protein from silkworm
cocoon. With its outstanding moisturization and activation collagen
synthesis properties, silk protein is applied for wound healing. Since
wound dressing in film preparation can facilitate patients
convenience and reduce risk of wound contraction, SS and polyvinyl
alcohol (PVA) films were prepared with various concentrations of
SS. Their physical properties such as surface density, light
transmission, protein dissolution and tensile modulus were
investigated. The results presented that 3 SS with 2 PVA is the
best ingredient for SS film forming.
