Bioinspired interface design of multifunctional soy protein-based biomaterials with excellent mechanical strength and UV-blocking performance

Renewable and biodegradable plant-derived biomaterials are considered an ideal alternative to non-biodegradable petrochemical plastics. However, the inherent cohesion and mechanical properties of biopolymers are usually insufficient to meet the requirements of practical applications. Inspired by the supramolecular chemistry of mussels, we report a facile and sustainable strategy for fabricating a high-performance soy protein (SP)-based film by...
