As a result, the purification degree of ADF3Kai-Large-NRSH1 was about 85%.
- the spider silk protein (powder) obtained above was subjected to vacuum drying (bone dry), and the spider silk protein in the absolute dry state was added to five DMSO solvents of a predetermined amount prepared beforehand so that the concentration of the protein of the respective solvents would be 15 mass %.
- Different amounts of pure water were added and mixed into four of the five DMSO solvents containing the spider silk protein to prepare five kinds of dopes having different moisture contents (moisture percentages) as indicated in Table 1 below.
- the dopes with a moisture content of 0 mass %, 0.75 mass %, 1.5 mass %, and 3 mass % are dopes of Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
- the dope with a moisture content of 5 mass % is a dope of Comparative Example 1.
- the dopes of Examples 1-4 with a moisture content of less than 5 mass % had high viscosities regardless of the temperature, and the viscosity rise in accordance with the temperature drop was significant, as compared with the dope of Comparative Example 1 with a moisture content of 5 mass %. Further, as to the dopes of Examples 1-4, the viscosity was high as the moisture content was low, i.e., the dope of Example 1 with a moisture content of 0 mass % had the highest viscosity.
- the viscosities of the dopes of Examples 1-4 were much higher than the viscosity of the dope of Comparative Example 1, specifically, they were 2.8 to 4.7 times the viscosity of the dope of Comparative Example 1. These results clearly indicate that the viscosities of the dopes can be increased by adjusting the moisture content of the dopes to be less than 5 mass %. It was also confirmed that spinning and casting can be stabilized with the dopes of Examples 1-4.
- Example 9 the spider silk protein (powder) in the absolute dry state was dissolved in a DMSO solvent at a concentration of 22.0 mass % in a general laboratory (in the atmosphere) without humidity control to produce a dope of Example 9.
- the dope of Example 9 was stored in a general laboratory without humidity control for 24 hours.
- the respective conditions of the experiment are shown in Table 2 below. A relationship between the temperature and the viscosity of the dopes of Examples 5-9 was examined. FIG. 2 shows the results.
- the relationship between the temperature and the viscosity of the dope of Example 9 was substantially the same as that of the dope of Example 7 (produced and stored in the dry room and having a protein concentration of 20.5 mass %).
- the reason for this is considered to be that the moisture in the atmosphere was mixed into the dope of Example 9 during the production and storage.
- the spider silk protein (powder) obtained above was subjected to vacuum drying (bone dry), and the spider silk protein (powder) in the absolute dry state was exposed to an atmosphere at a temperature of 25° C. and a relative humidity of 72% RH to examine a change in moisture percentage.
- FIG. 3 shows the results. As is clear from FIG. 3 , the moisture percentage of the spider silk protein (powder) in the absolute dry state reached about 13 mass % (equilibrium moisture regain) in about 20 minutes. This test result indicates that it is important for the spider silk protein (powder) to be subjected to vacuum drying to prepare dopes. Without the vacuum drying, the moisture adsorbed to the spider silk protein (powder) during the storage under the room temperature or an environment with high relative humidity is mixed into dopes directly.
- the following test was performed to confirm that the lowering of the viscosity of the dope due to the mixing of moisture into the dope was not simply attributed to the dilution of the dope with moisture.
- a dishwashing detergent having almost the same viscosity as that of the dope of Example 1 at 50° C. was prepared.
- moisture was added to the dishwashing detergent so that the moisture content would be 3 mass % based on 100 mass % of the dishwashing detergent.
- the viscosity of the dishwashing detergent at 50° C. was measured to determine a rate of change of viscosity before and after addition of moisture.
- the viscosity of the dishwashing detergent at 50° C. before addition of moisture was 143 mPa ⁇ s
- the viscosity of the dishwashing detergent at 50° C. after addition of moisture was 133 mPa ⁇ s.
- a lowering rate of the viscosity of the dishwashing detergent at 50° C. due to addition of moisture was 7%.
- the viscosity of the dope of Example 1 at 50° C. was 153 mPa ⁇ s
- the viscosity of the dope of Example 4 at 50° C. with a moisture content of 3 mass % by addition of moisture was 89 mPa ⁇ s.
- the polar solvent solution of the present invention is useful for wet spinning, film casting, gels, particles, mesh materials, and various types of moldings.
