Abstract
Wide-angle X-ray scattering studies of Bivoltine silk fibres have been carried out to obtain the crystal size distribution along the [201] direction. The minimum enthalpy for the formation of fibres has been estimated. The crystal size varies with annealing temperature, the values of g and α ∗ remaining almost constant, which is a unique feature of Bivoltine silk fibre. Using paracrystalline statistics, the Laue pattern has been simulated employing the microstructural parameters reported in this paper.
