Using <i>In Situ</i> Polymerization to Increase Puncture Resistance and Induce Reversible Formability in Silk Membranes

Silk fibroin is an excellent biopolymer for application in a variety of areas, such as textiles, medicine, composites and as a novel material for additive manufacturing. In this work, silk membranes were surface modified by <i>in situ</i> polymerization of aqueous acrylic acid, initiated...
