Multi-Layered Films Containing a Biomimetic Stimuli-Responsive Recombinant Protein

Multi-Layered Films Containing a Biomimetic Stimuli-Responsive Recombinant Protein

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Electrostatic self-assembly was used to fabricate new smart multi-layer coatings, using a recombinant elastin-like polymer (ELP) and chitosan as the counterion macromolecule. The ELP was bioproduced, purified and its purity and expected molecular weight were asse...
