Research and development of silk protein nanoparticles

Silk protein has great potential applications in material science,cosmetics,biomedicine and other fields due to its excellent physical,chemical and biological properties,as well as its characteristics of avirulence,innocuity,non-immunogenicity and good histocompatibility for human body.This article details the preparations of silk fibroin and sericin nanoparticles,including phase separation method,emulsion-solvent evaporation method,salting out method,electrospray method,electrical control method,self-assembling method,graft copolymerization method and nanosuspension technology.Existing problems in resent research are pointed out.
