Gel-spinning and drawing of gelatin

Gelatin fibers can be prepared by the gel-spinning method using dimethyl sulfoxide as a solvent. The use of the method and the drawing in a gel state were effective in inducing segmental orientation in gelatin fiber. The fibers showed high values for the mechanical properties of tensile strength of...

More Information
Summary:Gelatin fibers can be prepared by the gel-spinning method using dimethyl sulfoxide as a solvent. The use of the method and the drawing in a gel state were effective in inducing segmental orientation in gelatin fiber. The fibers showed high values for the mechanical properties of tensile strength of 180 MPa and Young's modulus of 3.4 GPa.
