New biocompatible thermo-reversible hydrogels from PNiPAM-decorated amyloid fibrils

New biocompatible temperature-responsive hydrogels have been obtained by using unprecedented low concentration of amyloid fibril-PNiPAM hybrids. The viscoelasticity of the hydrogels can be finely controlled by tuning the PNiPAM layers without changing the structure or concentration of the amyloid fi...

Zusammenfassung:	New biocompatible temperature-responsive hydrogels have been obtained by using unprecedented low concentration of amyloid fibril-PNiPAM hybrids. The viscoelasticity of the hydrogels can be finely controlled by tuning the PNiPAM layers without changing the structure or concentration of the amyloid fibrils.
