This paper presents a one-step method for patterning and reducing graphene oxide functionalized in silk fibroin using femtosecond laser induced forward transfer (LIFT). Such approach renders fibroin, a natural biopolymer ...

The possibility of producing valued devices from low cost natural resources is a subject of broad interest. The present study explores the preparation and characterization of silk fibroin dense membranes using waste silk ...

Fabrication of functional silk fibroin microstructures has extensive applications in biotechnology and photonics. Considerable progress has been made based on lithographic methods and self-assembly approaches. However, ...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) and silk fibroin (SF) are natural biopolymers successfully applied in tissue engineering and biomedical fields. In this work nanocomposites based on BC and SF were prepared and characterized by ...

Silk fibroin is an abundant natural polymer, which in the last years has been proposed as an attractive material for high-technological applications, offering also new opportunities for photonics and optoelectronics. In ...

Texture plays an important role in computer vision tasks. Several methods of texture analysis are available. However, these methods are not capable of extracting rich detail in images. This paper presents a novel approach ...
