Table 2 Relative tensile properties and colour difference of samples after dry thermal ageing
From: Transglutaminase-mediated restoration of historic silk and its ageing resistance
Dry thermal ageing timed | Relative tensile strength % | Relative elongation rate at breakage % | Colour difference | |||
