Bombyx mori silk treated by cold SF6 plasma was found to show higher hydrophobic property than the original silk. In order to clarify the chemical changes occurring in this treatment, the changes of functional groups of silk surface were investigated by attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared spe...
