Silk-Based Textile Platforms of Semiconductor Photocatalysis Using Light Localization

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a technology that utilizes native silk fibers and cocoons produced by silkworms to make optical biomaterials for implantable optical devices and their components. Compared to current technology that is restricted by material toxicity and incompatibility, biomaterials using silk fibers and cocoons are more economical and eco-friendly. This new technology presents the possibility of countless applications, including scalable production, embedded devices, and biosensors.
