Macroporous Silk Fibroin Cryogels

Biomacromolecules, 2013
Silk fibroin cryogels with remarkable properties were obtained from frozen fibroin solutions (4.2-12.6%) at subzero temperatures between -5 and -22 °C. This was achieved by the addition of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) into the cryogelation system.
