Preparation of transparent fibroin nanofibril-reinforced chitosan films with high toughness and thermal resistance
Silk fibroin nanofibrils can be obtained through fibrillation of fibroin fibers using wet-mechanical methods with a strong shear force. These nanofibers possess favorable mechanical properties and high thermal stability due to the secondary β-sheet structure of native fibroin. Consequently, ductile...
