Abstract: Layered constructs from poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels and chicken eggshell membranes (ESMs) are fabricated, which can be further cross-linked by glutaraldehyde (GA) to form GA-PEG-ESM composites. Our results indicate that ESMs composed of protein fibrous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/15589250211000337
Abstract: Wheat gluten proteins are good raw materials for preparing fibers due to their excellent viscoelasticity. However, protein fibers made directly from wheat gluten have poor mechanical properties. In... read more here.
