The mechanical behavior of silk-fibroin reinforced alginate hydrogel biocomposites-Toward functional tissue biomimetics

Adi Aharonov et al.

Summary: In this study, we developed a biomimetic silk-based biocomposite laminate using natural silk and fibroin fibers embedded in an alginate hydrogel matrix. By conducting unidirectional tensile tests with different fiber volume fractions and orientations, we investigated the mechanical behavior of these laminates. The results demonstrate the potential of fibroin fiber-reinforced biocomposites to replicate the mechanics of human soft tissues.

Summary: The silk fibers from Bombyx mori show great potential for applications in smart textiles, such as fiber sensors, actuators, optical fibers, and energy harvesters. By reconstructing/functionalizing silk fibroin at a mesoscopic scale, it is possible to create smart fiber devices with functions like sensors, actuators, optical fibers, and energy harvesters. Spinning technologies, such as wet spinning, dry spinning, microfluidic spinning, electrospinning, and direct writing, can be used to self-assemble silk fibroin solutions into regenerated fiber devices.
