“…3, the occurrence of a linear viscoelastic regime holds for σ values between 1.0 and 5.0 Pa. The width of such regime is practically independent on com- The similarity of the above behavior to that observed in polymer gels [35] and in associating block copolymers [25,36] is remarkable. Interpolation of TGT values as a function of composition allows to define in more detail the width of the true gel phase, as indicated in Fig.…”

“…[42][43][44] This is largely due to the hydrophobic effect, which drives the non-polar region of each polymer molecule away from water and towards one another. The dimensions and shapes of the supermolecular structure formed from such assemblies depend on a variety factors, such as geometry of the polar head group and the shape of each molecule.…”

The objective of the present study is to investigate the possibility of preparing pure protein microspheres from regenerated silk fibroin (RSF). It is found that RSF microspheres, with predictable and controllable sizes ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 mm, can be prepared via mild selfassembling of silk fibroin molecular chains. The merits of this novel method include a rather simple production apparatus and no potentially toxic agents, such as surfactants, initiators, crosslinking agents, etc. The results show that the particle size and size distribution of RSF microspheres are greatly affected by the amount of ethanol additive, the freezing temperature and the concentration of silk fibroin. Finally, the mechanism of RSF microspheres formation is also discussed based on our experimental results.

“…Finally, some papers report volume properties of copolymers at some temperature in a wide range of composition. The V U of EO 13 PO 30 EO 13 (L64) [22,23] at 293 K, 298 K and 301 K and EO 76 PO 28 EO 76 [28] at 308 K and 318 K were determined. Camiré et al [29] measured the V U of EO 12 PO 67 EO 12 at 283 K, 295 K and 308 K whereas Meilleur et al [27] determined the v sp of different EO a PO b EO a at 278 K, 298 K and 318 K.…”
