CaCl2-Formid Acid (FA) system was adopted to dissolve degummed silk, the effect of Cacl2 concentration on the solubility of silk fibroin in CaCl2-FA was discussed. Rheological behavior, SEM, FTIR and XRD analyses were applied to characterize the silk fibroin (SF) solutions and films. The results indicated that the solubility was increased with the concentration of CaCl2 at the same dissolution temperature and time, and the speed of dissolution was higher at first than afterwards. The viscosity was increased first and then decreased in rheological curve when the concentration of Cacl2 was 2%,5%,8% and 10%, and the viscosity of solusion in Cacl2 concentration 1% was higher than others. Fibrillar structures were observed in the solution and films under SEM. The results of FTIR analysis were demonstrated the conformation of SF was β-sheet, and the concentration of Cacl2 was of little influence on the conformation. The structure of SF films were silk II confirmed by XRD results, and characterized by the presence of a broad peak in the 2θ scattering angle at 9.5°, 20.5° and 23.9°.

Abstract: Mixing tetracycline hydrochloride (tet) with poly-(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) in THF and DMF (1:1 v/v),the PLGA nanofibers membrane with tetracycline hydrochloride were prepared by electrospinning. The morphlogy were observed by means of scan electric microscope(SEM) and fluorescence microscopy. The absorbency of drug was detected by UV-visible spectroscopy, then counting the velocity of drug release. The antimicrobial activity in vitro were examined by improved Kirby-Bauer diffusion method.Cells and scaffold of the morphology, adhesion and growth were observed by SEM. The average diameter of PLGA nanofibers with different tet contents between 360nm and 470nm . The 10% drug loaded membranes exhibited the highest initial burst release. Tet release sustained over 27 days in vitro. The antimicrobial activity in vitro was effective in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus growth. Examination of the biocompatibility of PLGA/tet scaffolds with MG-63 cells showed no adverse effect on the cell adhesion and proliferation. So PLGA/tet nanofibers has good biocompatibility.

Abstract The study of cationic grafting to cocoon floss with 2,3-epoxypropyl triethylammonium chloride（GTA） and the dye absorption of the modified cocoon floss that conclude three branches of reactive dyes, two branches of acid dyes and one branch of direct dye. Through the infrared spectrum of modified cocoon floss, it shows that 2,3-epoxypropyl triethylammonium chloride is mainly grafted on the amino of cocoon floss. And the particle surface potential analysis shows that the value of modified cocoon's surface potential increases from -56.2 mV to -23.2 mV. Also the dye adsorption rate of modified cocoon floss is very fast and the value of absorption is big, especially a large number of the adsorption is completed in the first few minutes. And the decolorization rates of acid and direct dyes are bigger than reactive dyes. The cationic grafting rate of modified cocoon floss is higher, the dye adsorption capacity is greater. For example, when the grafting rate of modified cocoon floss is 0.31%~2.70%, the equilibrium adsorption values of acid dyes, direct dyes and reactive dyes are 16.0%~81.3% (g/g), 31.2%~50.6% (g/g) and 5.16%~32.4% (g/g), which shows that the modified cocoon floss has a very strong ability to absorb dyes. And also, this is a potential method of the treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater.

Using software CFX 12.1, this paper investigated airflow patterns in the yarn suction gun with different geometrical parameters of the jet orifice by numerical simulation, and discussed the relation between the flow patterns and yarn suction performance. The affecting mechanism of jet orifice geometry on the yarn suction performance was clarified and the rational parameters were obtained as follows: number of jet orifices N = 3, diameter of jet orifice d = 2.0 mm and angel of jet orifice ??= 75°. An increase in the number of jet orifices constricts free expansion of the injected air among jet streams and keeps them move forward more stably, which causes increases in air density and circumferential velocity component near the wall; however, it is accompanied an increase in the conflict between the jet streams when the number of jet orifices is over large, which decreases yarn suction force. An appropriate diameter of jet orifice promotes the yarn suction force by helping the development of a strong swirling flow and avoiding the occurrence of a normal shock wave. ?The angel of jet orifice plays an important role in generating a swirling flow by controlling the air circumferential velocity component. The yarn suction force has a close relationship to the distribution of air velocity, and depends strongly on the air circumferential velocity component. The normal shock wave should be avoided in the Laval tube when designing the yarn suction gun.

Air flow in the spinning rotor is very complicated and the effect of rotor parameters on the flow behavior is not clear. Considering above status, simulations of air flow in the spinning rotor channel are done, and influences of rotor speed and geometric parameters on the air flow are analyzed. It is found from the results that flow structure in the spinning rotor changes significantly with the variations of rotor speed and geometric parameters. This is due to the balance of low pressure zone caused by rotation and another low pressure region in the export of fiber feeding tube. The axial symmetry of vortex structure in the rotor meridional plane is best while the angular velocity is 2000rad/s and slip angle is 22°. In this case, the pulsation and vibration caused by the air flow are smallest. The above research results provide with reference to the design of rotor spinning machines.
