High‐Strength, Durable All‐Silk Fibroin Hydrogels with Versatile Processability toward Multifunctional Applications

2018 
Pristine silk fibroin hydrogels with high strength and toughness are prepared by a binary‐solvent‐induced conformation transition strategy. The formation of a β‐sheet serves as the physical crosslinks that connect disparate protein chains to form continuous 3D hydrogel networks. Furthermore, versatile processing techniques are used to generate functional hydrogel constructs of complex features.
