Bioinspired and biomimetic protein-based fibers and their applications

Abstract Protein-based fibers combine unique mechanical properties with biocompatibility and biodegradability, and often outperform polymer-based fibers. Furthermore, a growing need for sustainable materials has triggered a revival in the study of protein fibers, including keratin, collagen, elastin...
