Instantaneous Formation of Silk Protein Aerosols and Fibers with a Portable Spray Device under Ambient Conditions

, all steps of instant conformational transition of silk fibroin are carried out in aqueous conditions or with buffers at ambient conditions, in combination with shear and elongational flow caused by the hydraulic pressure generated in the spray container. The system supports a portable and user-friendly system that could be used for drug delivery carriers, wound coating materials and rapid silk fiber conformal coatings on surfaces.
