Prospects for Producing New Biomaterials Based on Fibroin.

- Abstract
Methods for preparing solutions and materials based on the biopolymer fibroin were discussed. Thermal hydrolysis of fibroin at 220-300°C produced a mixture of water-soluble amino acids, dipeptides, and diketopiperazines. The diketopiperazine content increased with increasing hydrolysis temperature. Dissolution of fibroin in ionic liquids formed thixotropic solutions with properties that depended on the dissolution temperature. The ordering of films produced from the solutions depended on the contact time with the precipitant.
