Polymeric materials produced from fossil fuels have been intimately linked to the
development of industrial activities in the 20th century and, consequently, to the …

Silk proteins are biopolymers produced by spinning organisms that have been studied
extensively for applications in materials engineering, regenerative medicine, and devices …

Vesicle delivery carriers, used to stabilize hydrophobic drugs, are characterized by the
propensity to aggregate, and fuse, limiting its applications. Fortifying vesicle-entrapped …

Abstract The major ampullate Spidroin 1 (MaSp1) is the main protein of the dragline spider
silk. The C-terminal (CT) domain of MaSp1 is crucial for the self-assembly into fibers but the …

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) synthesized in a bio-based route are viable contenders for
the removal of Cr (VI) from contaminated water. However, recovery and reuse of these …

Aim: Polymeric scaffolds were developed fortified with nanovesicle-encapsulated individual
curcumin (CUR) and tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) for improved therapeutic efficacy due to their …

Spinel LiNi0. 5Mn1. 5O4 (LNMO) is the most promising cathode material for achieving high
energy density lithium‐ion batteries attributed to its high operating voltage (≈ 4.75 V) …

One of the fundamental hurdles in infrared spectroscopy is the failure of molecular
identification when their infrared vibrational fingerprints overlap. Refractive index (RI) is …

Naturally spun silks generate fibres with unique properties, including strength, elasticity and
biocompatibility. Here we describe a microfluidics-based strategy to spin liquid native silk …

Biological water-responsive materials that deform with changes in relative humidity have
recently demonstrated record-high actuation energy densities, showing promise as high …
