ABSTRACT
As one of the important branches of natural biopolymer, natural fibrous protein has a lot of advantages including good mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility, controllable biodegradability, renewability, abundant sources, and so on. Moreover, natural fibrous protein is also a protein that could only be used for structure supporting without any bioactivities, which attracts a lot of attentions in the field of tissue engineering scaffold. This chapter is taking silk fibroin and keratin as model materials of natural fibrous protein, focusing on their protein structure, chemical compositions, processing and extraction methods, chemical modification methods, and their applications in tissue engineering through advanced manufacturing.
