Loaded Silk Fibroin Aerogel Production by Supercritical Gel Drying Process for Nanomedicine Applications

Silk fibroin (SF) is a protein that can be used in biomedical field thanks to its biocompatibility, biodegradability and mechanical properties. SF is generally produced in form of aerogel by freeze drying; but, during this process, the delicate nanostructure of the gel can be destroyed, due to the s...
