THE EFFECT OF GAMMA RAY ON THE THERMO-MECHANICAL PROPERTY OF SILK FIBROIN
ABSTRACT
This paper studies the effect of gamma ray on the thermo-mechanical properties of silk fibroin experimentally. The experiment reveals that the gamma ray can accelerate biodegradation of silk fibroin by decreasing its thermo-mechanical property.
