本发明属于高强度生物材料技术领域,尤其涉及一种高强度丝蛋白纳米纤维膜及其制备方法。The invention belongs to the technical field of high-strength biological materials, and in particular relates to a high-strength silk protein nanofiber membrane and a preparation method thereof.
高强度材料由于其优异的性能和广泛的应用一直是材料领域研究的热点。天然高强度材料通过优化组分间非共价作用自组装成复杂的微纳结构,使其具有优异的性能。例如,植物中的纤维素、节肢动物骨骼中的几丁质、动物丝中的丝蛋白等都会形成不同尺寸的纳米纤维,并通过优化氢键、静电、疏水作用等非共价相互作用而形成具有高强度、刚度和韧性的功能材料。因此,在微纳尺度上调控纳米纤维单元的超分子组装是形成高强度材料的关键步骤。High-strength materials have always been a research hotspot in the field of materials due to their excellent properties and wide applications. Natural high-strength materials self-assemble into complex micro-nano structures by optimizing the non-covalent interactions between components, making them have excellent properties. For example, cellulose in plants, chitin in arthropod bones, silk protein in animal silk, etc., all form nanofibers of different sizes, which are formed by optimizing non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, and hydrophobic interactions.

蚕丝作为一种典型的天然高强度材料,在纺织、再生医学、智能工业等领域引起了广泛的关注。丝蛋白可被制备成各种不同的材料形式,如纤维、膜、水凝胶、支架、和微球等,可广泛应用于组织工程、柔性电子器件和药物递送等领域。然而,与天然蚕丝纤维不同,再生丝蛋白材料通常由于层级结构的破坏,导致其机械性能较差。尽管研究者们通过调控beta-sheet含量、优化取向结构、制备复合材料等不同方法对再生丝蛋白材料性能进行改善,取得了一定的力学提升效果,但是纳米纤维基元的缺乏和组装结构的丧失仍然限制了力学性能进一步的提高。As a typical natural high-strength material, silk has attracted widespread attention in the fields of textiles, regenerative medicine, and smart industries. Silk proteins can be prepared into various material forms, such as fibers, membranes, hydrogels, scaffolds, and microspheres, which can be widely used in tissue engineering, flexible electronic devices, and drug delivery. However, unlike natural silk fibers, regenerated silk protein materials usually suffer from poor mechanical properties due to the breakdown of their hierarchical structure. Although researchers have improved the properties of regenerated silk protein materials by adjusting the content of beta-sheet, optimizing the orientation structure, and preparing composite materials, and achieved a certain mechanical improvement effect, the lack of nanofiber primitives and the loss of assembly structure The further improvement of mechanical properties is still limited.
近年来,研究者们通过各种策略实现了丝蛋白纳米纤维的重构。然而,复杂苛刻的制备条件,如乙醇处理和超声波分散等限制了其层级结构组装和进一步的功能优化。基于生物医用领域的应用要求,在常温常压等模拟自然的条件下形成均匀稳定的纳米纤维是获得更高机械性能的超分子结构的理想选择。In recent years, researchers have achieved the remodeling of silk protein nanofibers through various strategies. However, complex and harsh preparation conditions, such as ethanol treatment and ultrasonic dispersion, limit their hierarchical structure assembly and further functional optimization. Based on the application requirements in the field of biomedicine, the formation of uniform and stable nanofibers under natural conditions such as normal temperature and pressure is an ideal choice for obtaining supramolecular structures with higher mechanical properties.
但是由于丝蛋白纳米纤维具有较高的电荷密度,抑制了纳米纤维之间形成有效非共价相互作用,所形成的再生丝纳米纤维膜脆弱易碎,甚至无法通过传统的拉伸模型进行测量。However, due to the high charge density of silk protein nanofibers, which inhibits the formation of effective non-covalent interactions between nanofibers, the formed regenerated silk nanofiber membranes are fragile and fragile, and cannot even be measured by traditional tensile models.
