Bionanocomposites: Silk Fibroin–Substrate Interactions at Heterogeneous Nanocomposite Interfaces (Adv. Funct. Mater. 35/2016)
Source abstract
Abstract
Silk assembly can be controlled by manipulating substrate chemistry and factors relevant to layer-by-layer assembly, as described by V. V. Tsukruk and co-workers on page 6380. Silk assembles into individual fibrils when sheared on hydrophilic graphene oxide while maintaining its globular solution state morphology on hydrophobic reduced graphene oxide as shown on this cover. Molecular Dynamics simulations and high resolution microscopy are used to probe the non-covalent interactions driving this response.
