The next part of the book describes physical properties, biological properties, and issues surrounding stability. Subsequent chapters offer in-depth coverage of both natural and structural protein sources, including collagen, silk, elastin, resilin, keratin, foot protein, and reflectin, and the materials that can be designed from them, such as films, fibers, textiles, microparticles, sponges and scaffolds, nanomaterials, blends, and composites. These materials are also analyzed against the available synthetic polymers. Finally, the text explores current applications and potential future developments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an essential resource for researchers and advanced students across a range of disciplines, including biopolymers, structural proteins, polymer science, materials science, biomaterials, biology, biotechnology, chemistry, engineering, and pharmaceutical science. In an industry setting, this is of great interest to scientists and R\u0026amp;D professionals working in industries with an interest in bio-based polymers for advanced applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains 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 composites\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides the reader a solid understanding of the structure, synthesis, and properties\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGuides the reader from sources, including collagen, silk, elastin, resilin, keratin, and reflectin, to material design and cutting-edge applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keiji Numata\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128205555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128205556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsevier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Keiji Numata","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435276644607,"sku":"9780128205556","price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_946a5b7e-71f0-4090-b9d0-552bda5f9831.jpg?v=1777149368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biopolymer-science-for-proteins-and-keiji-numata-9780128205556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
