Abstract
Mixed protein-based hydrogels have been prepared by blending gelatin (G) with amorphous Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF) and promoting beta-crystallization of SF via subsequent exposure to methanol or methanol/water solutions. The introduction of beta crystals in SF serves to stabilize the hydrogel network and extend the solidlike behavior of these thermally responsive materials to elevated temperatures beyond the helix-->coil (h-->c) transition of...
