Abstract
Wide-angle X-ray diffraction studies of physically and chemically trea ted silk fibers like bivoltine mulberry silk and tassar silk were carr ied out to evaluate their crystal size, lattice distortion, and minimu m enthalpy, as these determine the properties of silk fibers. The resu lts are also compared with tenacity measurement. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
