Biocompatible Emulsions Stabilized by Natural Silk Fibroin

  • Xiuying Qiao,
  • Reinhard Miller,
  • Emanuel Schneck and
  • Kang Sun

Due to its amphiphilicity, the natural fibrous structural protein, silk fibroin (SF), can adsorb at the oil/water interface, form protective viscoelastic layers, and stabilize emulsions. Biocompatible SF-stabilized emulsions can be used in different...
