The aim of this project is to investigate methods to produce highly porous elastic sponges from silk protein nanofibres. These sponges will have optimal mechanical, insulation and degradation properties making them suitable for a wide range of applications including the biomedical and personal care sectors, where current products have significant drawbacks due to the use of non-biodegradable synthetic materials. Outcomes include new knowledge on controlling porous structures and tailoring properties to targeted applications. This project, by laying the groundwork for a new generation of bio-based materials, will benefit the Australian advanced manufacturing sector, and enhance Australia's standing in materials science and engineering.

该项目的目的是研究从丝蛋白纳米纤维中产生高度多孔弹性海绵的方法。这些海绵将具有最佳的机械，隔热和降解特性，使其适用于包括生物医学和个人护理领域在内的广泛应用，由于使用了非生物降解的合成材料，因此当前产品具有显着的缺点。结果包括有关控制多孔结构的新知识和针对目标应用程序的定制属性。该项目通过为新一代生物的材料奠定基础，将使澳大利亚先进的制造业受益，并增强澳大利亚在材料科学和工程领域的地位。
