Abstract:Silk fibroin (SF)
extracted from silkworm silk can be transformed
into transparent membranes with well-suited physical properties for
ophthalmic applications. There is ample literature on the fabrication
and characterization of SF-based membranes; however, the use of diverse
SF extraction protocols and characterization methods or their settings
makes it difficult to compare different silk membrane properties across
studies. In this work, we fabricated 10 families of SF-based membranes
by physical cross-linking… Show more
