 abstract = {We investigate the effects of mixing a colloidal suspension of
tunicate-derived cellulose nanocrystals (t-CNCs) with aqueous colloidal
suspensions of two protein diblock copolymers, EC and CE, which bear two
different self-assembling domains (SADs) derived from elastin (E) and
the coiled-coil region of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (C). The
resulting aqueous mixtures reveal improved mechanical integrity for the
CE+t-CNC mixture, which exhibits an elastic gel network. This is in
contrast to EC+t-CNC, which does not form a gel, indicating that block
orientation influences the ability to interact with t-CNCs. Surface
analysis and interfacial characterization indicate that the differential
mechanical properties of the two samples are due to the prevalent
display of the E domain by CE, which interacts more with t-CNCs leading
to a stronger network with t-CNCs. On the other hand, EC, which is
predominantly C-rich on its surface, does not interact as much with
t-CNCs. This suggests that the surface characteristics of the protein
polymers, due to folding and self-assembly, are important factors for
the interactions with t-CNCs, and a significant influence on the overall
mechanical properties. These results have interesting implications for
the understanding of cellulose hydrophobic interactions, natural
biomaterials and the development of artificially assembled
bionanocomposites.},
