Manipulating the water–air interface to drive protein assembly for functional silk-like fibroin fibre production
Abstract Silk’s remarkable properties arise from its hierarchical structure, formed through natural transformation from an aqueous solution to a solid fibre driven by pH and flow stress under low-energy conditions. In contrast, artificial silk fabrication typically relies on extrusion-based methods...
