Biomaterials: Recombinant Silk Fiber Properties Correlate to Prefibrillar Self‐Assembly (Small 12/2019)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1805294, Xiang-Qin Liu, Jan K. Rainey, and co-workers demonstrate that improved self-assembled silk protein nanoparticle monodispersity in the concentrated solubilized spinning dope state correlates with dramatically improved wet-spun recombinant aciniform silk fiber mechanical behavior. The nature and dispersity of self-assembly in the spinning dope provides a straightforward property to tweak in optimization of processing of silk materials.
