Abstract We successfully prepared optically transparent silk fibroin-cellulose nanofiber (CN) composite films from solvent casting using a stable CN suspension in an aqueous silk fibroin solution. The transmittance of the silk fibroin composite films was observed by a UV-visible spectrophotometer. The secondary structural change of the silk fibroin caused by the incorporation of CNs was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. A tensile test was carried out to investigate the mechanical properties. The results showed that the composite film exhibited visible-light transmittance of 75 %, and its mechanical strength and Young’s modulus were increased by 44 % and 35 %, respectively, as compared to a neat silk fibroin film.
