Abstract

Due to the special luster, good air permeability and moisture permeability, comfortable wearing, delicate and smooth feel, silk fiber is wildly used in textiles. Recently, with the careful study of the composition, microstructure and physicochemical properties of silk, the application of silk has gradually extended to food, biomedicine, industrial raw materials, environmental protection and other fields. This paper gives one short introduction of silk’s application in tissue engineering.
