- Abstract
Biobased resources are proposed as next‐generation materials for advanced application. Among them, silk fibroin, a protein‐based material generally obtained from Bombyx mori cocoons, is considered to play an increasing role in the development of a more sustainable generation of devices. In this review, the silk fibroin molecular structure and its original properties are presented, together with a wide overview of the available modifications and processing methods to reach custom structural and functional variations.
