However, hydrogels are ... -
Protein-Based Textiles: Bio-Inspired and Bio-Derived Materials for Medical and Non-Medical Applications
Deravi, Leila F.; Golecki, Holly M.; Parker, Kevin Kit (American Scientific Publishers, 2013)The hierarchical structure-dependent function of self-assembling proteins regulates the biochemical and mechanical functions of cells, tissues, and organs. These multi-scale properties make proteins desirable candidates ...
