Abstract In current research work, we have studied the blending effect of non-mulberry silk fibroin (10%
weight/volume basis) and gelatin (20% weight/volume basis) in formic acid. Several blends as
SF10G0, SF2G8, SF3G7, SF5G5 and SF0G10 have been made and their rheological behaviour
was investigated. The blend solutions were subjected to a steady shear rheological study in the
variety of range of shear rates, namely 0.01–500 sec-1 and the viscosities of blend solutions
were noticed to decrease in comparison to pure silk solution. The frequency sweep was employed
in dynamic rheological tests to determine complex viscosity of More >
