“…Hence, SF can provide broad application prospects for the design of new biomaterials due to its biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties, air and moisture permeability and good processability [ 11 ]. After degumming, SF can be prepared into different forms of materials, such as film [ 19 ], gel [ 20 ], microcapsule [ 21 ], 3D printed scaffold [ 22 ], fiber [ 23 , 24 ] and micro/nano particle [ 25 ] among others. These materials can be applied for drug delivery [ 21 , 26 ], wound healing [ 20 , 27 ], tissue engineering [ 28 , 29 ] and environment-related applications as well as in the energy sector [ 30 ].…”

Ionic liquids (ILs) show a bright application prospect in the field of biomedicine and energy materials due to their unique recyclable, modifiability, structure of cation and anion adjustability, as well as excellent physical and chemical properties. Dissolving silk fibroin (SF), from different species silkworm cocoons, with ILs is considered an effective new way to obtain biomaterials with highly enhanced/tailored properties, which can significantly overcome the shortcomings of traditional preparation methods, such as the cumbersome, time-consuming and the organic toxicity caused by manufacture. In this paper, the basic structure and properties of SF and the preparation methods of traditional regenerated SF solution are first introduced. Then, the dissolving mechanism and main influencing factors of ILs for SF are expounded, and the fabrication methods, material structure and properties of SF blending with natural biological protein, inorganic matter, synthetic polymer, carbon nanotube and graphene oxide in the ILs solution system are introduced. Additionally, our work summarizes the biomedicine and tissue engineering applications of silk-based materials dissolved through various ILs. Finally, according to the deficiency of ILs for dissolving SF at a high melting point and expensive cost, their further study and future development trend are prospected.
