Mixed Protein Blends Composed of Gelatin and Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin: Effects of Solvent-Induced Crystallization and Composition
Abstract
Novel protein blends have been prepared by mixing gelatin (G) with Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF) and using aqueous methanol (MeOH) to post-induce SF crystallization. When co-cast from solution, amorphous blends of these polymers appear homogeneous, as discerned from visual observation, microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Upon subsequent exposure to aqueous MeOH, SF undergoes a conformational change from random coil to...
