BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Silk threads are widely used not only for clothing but also in the medical field, such as suture threads. The main component of silk is a protein called fibroin, which is synthesized within the bodies of insects such as silkworms and is stored in internal organs called silk glands. This fibroin is liquid in the insect body and is soluble in water.

[0003] Fibroin is also affected by physical effects such as stretching and shear stress, and chemical effects such as dehydration and modification by polar organic solvents (for example, Jun Umakoshi, Polymers, 34 [2

[0004] On the other hand, silk thread is made by insolubilizing liquid silk fibroin due to shear stress applied by silkworms. To make the silk thread soluble in water again, the raw silk is scoured by soaking it in Marcel soap to remove the sericin surrounding the fibroin fibers, and then soaked in a highly concentrated salt solution such as lithium bromide. There are ways to make it work.

[0006] Next, as a method for producing a water-insoluble solid fibroin molded article, the following two-stage method is generally used.

Therefore, in the second step, 3
The molecular state is changed by immersion for 0 seconds or more to make it insoluble in water. However, physical properties such as strength and elongation change depending on conditions such as methanol concentration and immersion time, making it difficult to obtain stable quality.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventors have been conducting research on fibroin for many years. Noting that the fibroin molecules in the fibroin aqueous solution are negatively charged, they thought that when a DC voltage was applied, the fibroin molecules would be attracted to the anode and deposited. On the other hand, stretching is known as one of the methods for converting water-soluble fibroin into water-insoluble fibroin.Stretching aligns the direction of the molecules, creates hydrogen bonds between molecules, and crystallizes the fibroin protein molecules. It is assumed that this is because it has a structure. However, when a DC voltage was applied, the fibroin molecules were directionally attracted to the electrode, which was expected to have the same effect as stretching. Moreover, since the direction is the same regardless of the strength of the current, it was thought that stable properties could be obtained. Based on this knowledge,
This led to the completion of the present invention.
