Abstract Synopsis

  • Researchers developed a keratin-based material with long-range molecular order, enhancing shape-memory properties through hydration.
  • The material's actuation mechanism relies on the transition of keratin from α-helix to β-sheet structures, leading to stronger and biocompatible outputs.
  • The process involves extracting keratin from animal hair and applying shear stress for self-organization, allowing for scalable production of shape-memory fibers and 3D-printed structures for use in bioengineering and smart textiles.
