Development of structure in natural silk spinning and poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel formation

This research involves the characterization of structure and structure formation in aqueous systems. Particularly, these studies investigate the effect of various processing variables on the structure formation that occurs upon conversion from aqueous solution to fiber or hydrogel. The two processes...
