Current methods to produce silk films include casting and spin coating. Here we introduce a new method for the fabrication of silk films: electrogelation. Through use of a closed-loop anode, films with high surface smoothness and optical transparency are produced. Bending the electrode loop allows films with three-dimensional topologies to be formed, possessing thicknesses capable of descending into the submicron thin film regime.
目前生产丝膜的方法包括浇铸和旋涂。在此,我们介绍一种制备丝膜的新方法:电凝胶化。通过使用闭环阳极,可以生产出具有高表面光滑度和光学透明度的薄膜。弯曲电极环可形成具有三维拓扑结构的薄膜,其厚度能够降至亚微米薄膜范围。
