Fibrillar coating of functionalized silk

Our functionalized silk proteins assemble efficiently into a very stable fibrillar coating on a solid surface made of e.g. Polymers (PTFE, PS), metals (steel, titanium, gold), ceramics (hydroxyapatite).
Thereby the incorporated functional module (e.g. affinity domain, antimicrobial enzyme/peptide) is efficiently immobilized and exposed in its active form.
This is thus a convenient strategy to functionalize materials of any dimensions.

Spiber Technologies provides evaluation service of your protein of interest together with our SolvNT® technology.
