Polymer nanocomposite dielectrics possess exceptional electric properties that are absent
in the pristine dielectric polymers. The matrix/particle interface in polymer nanocomposite …

Single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) allows investigation of intramolecular or
intermolecular interactions of macromolecules, thus potentially opening a new horizon for …

Spider capture silk is a natural material that outperforms almost any synthetic material in its
combination of strength and elasticity. The structure of this remarkable material is still largely …

The use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in biomaterials science and engineering
applications has increased rapidly over the last few years. Beyond being merely a tool for …

The objective of the present study is to investigate the possibility of preparing pure protein
microspheres from regenerated silk fibroin (RSF). It is found that RSF microspheres, with …

Designing novel multifunctional materials from natural resources is a challenging goal that
