Silk fibroin as sustainable advanced material: material properties and characteristics, processing, and applications
| Resumo: | Bio-based resources are proposed as next-generation materials for advanced application. Among them, silk fibroin, a protein-based material generally obtained from Bombyx mori cocoons, is considered to play an increasing role in the development of a more sustainable generation of devices. In this review, the silk fibroin molecular structure and its original properties are presented, together with a wide overview of the available modifications and processing methods to reach custom structural and functional variations. |
