Silk Fibroin–Polyethylene Glycol 400 Composite Sponges with Enhanced Water Absorption and Hemostatic Performance

Abstract We have developed silk fibroin (SF)–polyethylene glycol (PEG) composite sponges, focusing on PEG 400 (PEG400), to enhance the mechanical strength, water absorption, and hemostatic performance of SF sponges. The SF–PEG400 sponge showed superior water absorption—approximat...
