摘要: New hybrid colloidal gels are reported formed by amyloid fibrils and CaCO3 nanoparticles (CaNPs), with Ca2+ as charge screening ions CaNPs physical crosslinking agents to establish stabilize the network. The gel is characterized rheological measurements diffusing wave spectroscopy, complemented microscopic observations using transmission scanning electron microscopy. show a two orders of magnitude improved strength at significantly shorter gelation times compared previous calcium ion-induced fibril gels. Supercritical CO2-dried aerogels allow demonstrating that fibrils, combined smaller (higher specific surface area) CaNPs, constitute denser network, resulting in stronger By varying concentration size concentration, complete phase diagram mapped out. This enables identifying sol–gel transition window for formation, which widens increasing size. Finally pH responsiveness self-healing properties this also demonstrated, making these systems suitable candidate biological applications.
