Preparation of silk fibroin–poly(ethylene glycol) conjugate films through click chemistry

Azide silk fibroin (azido SF) and alkyne terminal poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 2000 (acetylene-terminal PEG 2000) were synthesized. Azido SF was reacted with acetylene-terminal PEG 2000 to produce films via a copper-mediated 1,3-cycloaddition (‘click’ chemistry) generating a triazole linkage as the n...
