Biopolymer Science for Proteins and Peptides introduces all aspects of natural polymers based on structural proteins and peptides, presenting their synthesis, structure, properties, proteins, materials design and applications. Sections cover synthesis and structure, describe physical properties, biological properties, and issues surrounding stability, offer in-depth coverage of both natural structural protein sources, including collagen, silk, elastin, resilin, keratin, foot protein, and reflectin, and cover materials that can be designed from them, such as films, fibers, textiles, microparticles, sponges and scaffolds, nanomaterials, blends and composites. Finally, current applications and potential future developments are explored. This is an essential resource for researchers and advanced students across a range of disciplines, including in biopolymers, structural proteins, polymer science, materials science, biomaterials, biology, biotechnology, chemistry, engineering and pharmaceutical science. Explains how biopolymers from structural proteins and peptides can be developed into materials such as films, fibers, textiles, microparticles, sponges and scaffolds, nanomaterials, blends and polymer compositesProvides the reader with a solid understanding of structure, synthesis and properties, then comparing them against other synthetic polymersGuides the reader from sources, including collagen, silk, elastin, resilin, keratin, and reflectin INDICE: 1.
