Silk-based Nanomaterials

Silk-Based Nanomaterials is a class of protein-based nanomaterials derived primarily from fibroin and sericin proteins of silk, distinguished by their exceptional mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and ability to self-assemble into nanostructures such as nanoparticles, nanofibers, and nanofilms for applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biodegradable electronics.
