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

Abstract

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.
