A Method for Generating Functional Surface Coatings and Modifications via Self-Assembly of Silk Fibroin and Silk Fibroin-Like Macromolecules
RPI ID: 2019-087-401 Innovation Summary: A non-covalent, bottom-up coating method enables the formation of silk fibroin-based layers on chemically inert and geometrically complex surfaces. The process uses kosmotropic agents to facilitate smooth, homogeneous coatings that are tunable in thickness and free of inhomogeneities. These coatings can incorporate...
