Material engineering and application of hybrid biomimetic-de novo designed elastin-like polypeptides

Abstract The global concern over environmental consequences of petrochemical-derived plastics underscores the urgent need for sustainable and biodegradable polymers. In this context, elastin-like polypeptides emerge as a promising solution, offering multiple advantages, including remarkable mechanic...
