## Abstract A novel nanometer titanium dioxide (nanoTD)/silk fibroin (SF) blend membrane was prepared and characterized by AFM, FTIR, DSC, and XRD. The strength, solubility and thermal properties and the antibacterial activity of the blend membrane were then investigated. The results show that at a

Silk fibroin/chitosan blend films were prepared by the solvent casting method. Miscibility between silk fibroin and chitosan was examined by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. Structural changes of silk fibroin by the addition of chitosan were investigated by IR spectroscopy. The conformational tr
## Abstract **Summary:** Novel proteinβbased hydrogels have been prepared by blending gelatin (G) with amorphous __Bombyx mori__ silk fibroin (SF) and subsequently promoting the formation of __Ξ²__βsheet crystals in SF upon exposure to methanol or methanol/water solutions.

Before or after the blend membrane of regenerated silk fibroin (RSF), poly(viny1 alcohol) (PVA), and peroxidase is treated with ethanol, RSF, PVA, and peroxidase maintain their own structures. The conformational transition of RSF in the blend membrane is accomplished from the silk I structure to the
