Algae powders were...

Abstract Water‐stable silk fibroin (SF) films are normally prepared by transforming the secondary structure of SF, from amorphous I (random coils) to II (β‐sheet), via physical or chemical means. Although mechanically strong, these generally brittle. Herein, we water‐stable flexible SF possessing rather than structure. Films were casting solution nanoparticles induced two different methods: (1) pre‐prepared ethanol added into solution; (2) in autoclaving. These compared with each other and...
