Silk Fibroin Films Crystallized by Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract: Silk films prepared from regenerated silk fibroin are normally stabilized by |3-sheet formation through the use of solvents (methanol, water etc.). Herein, we report a new method of preparing water-stable films without a p-sheet conformation from regenerated silk fibroin solutions by incorporating a small amount (0.2 wt%) of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). To extend the biomaterial utility of silk proteins, forming water-stable silk-based materials with enhanced mechanical properties is essential. Scann… Show more
