Covalently crosslinked mussel byssus protein-based materials with tunable properties
Byette, Frédéric; Marcotte, Isabelle; Pellerin, Christian (Wiley, 2018-03-01)Mussels’ anchoring threads, named byssus, are collagen-rich fibers with outstanding mechanical properties. Our previous work has shown the possibility of producing a byssus protein hydrolyzate with good film-forming ability, providing a promising new ... -
Développement de matériaux à base de protéines extraites du byssus de la moule bleue Mytilus edulis
Byette, Frédéric (2016-09-28)Le byssus est un amas de fibres que les moules produisent afin de s’ancrer aux surfaces immergées sous l’eau. Ces fibres sont pourvues de propriétés mécaniques impressionnantes combinant rigidité, élasticité et ténacité élevées. De plus, elles possèdent ... -
Metal–ligand interactions and salt bridges as sacrificial bonds in mussel byssus-derived materials
Byette, Frédéric; Laventure, Audrey; Marcotte, Isabelle; Pellerin, Christian (American Chemical Society, 2016-09-02)The byssus that anchors mussels to solid surfaces is a protein-based material combining strength and toughness as well as a self-healing ability. These exceptional mechanical properties are explained in part by the presence of metal ions forming ...
