A Simple Method for Making Biocompatible Protein Films as Antimicrobial Coatings
This invention provides a simple method for making protein films or coatings for antifouling, antimicrobial, and tissue engineering applications. The films are water-stable, biocompatible and resistant to protein and bacterial fouling. The films can be fabricated on substrates with simple or complex geometries. The biodegradability of the films can be tuned to enable controlled release of functional or therapeutic agents.
