Fibroin (degummed silk) and keratin are structural biopolymers respectively from silkworm filaments and from hair, wool, feathers, nails and horns. They are candidate materials for biomediacal applications because they have several useful properties including good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Many works deal about the electrospinning of silk fibroin solutions, but few works deal about the electrospinning of keratin in blend with other polymers; moreover, keratin hasn’t been previously electrospun as pure polymer.

Abstract

Fibroin (degummed silk) and keratin are structural biopolymers respectively from silkworm filaments and from hair, wool, feathers, nails and horns. They are candidate materials for biomediacal applications because they have several useful properties including good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Many works deal about the electrospinning of silk fibroin solutions, but few works deal about the electrospinning of keratin in blend with other polymers; moreover, keratin hasn’t been previously electrospun as pure polymer.
