Bionanocomposite Films from Resilin-CBD Bound to Cellulose Nanocrystals
Abstract
This research explores the properties of bionanocomposite films prepared by binding recombinant resilin-like protein (res) consisting of the exon 1 resilin sequence from Drosophila melanogaster, engineered to include a cellulose binding domain (CBD), to cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The optimal binding of res-CBD to CNCs was 1:5 by mass, and the resulting res-CBD-CNCs remained colloidally stable in water. Res-CBD-CNCs were solvent cast into …
