Production of silk fibroin nanoparticles from bombyx mori cocoons.

Abstract

Chapter one gives the background, problem statement, objectives, scope and justification of the study. Chapter two shows the literature review which includes silk in Uganda and worldwide, silk structure, silk production process, properties of silk, preparation methods of silk nanoparticles Chapter three illustrates the methodology indicating the manufacturing steps and characterization of the silk fibroin nanoparticles. Chapter four shows the results and discussions of my research though the research project was successfully, there were some challenges but recommendations towards such challenges are included in chapter five.
