Abstract: Provided are compositions that include at least one two-dimensional layer of an inorganic compound and at least one layer of an organic compound in the form of one or more polypeptides. Methods of making and using the materials are provided. The organic layer contains one or more polypeptides, each of which have alternating repeats of crystallite-forming subsequences and amorphous subsequences. The crystallite-forming subsequences form crystallites comprising stacks of one or more ?-sheets. The amorphous subsequences form a network of hydrogen bonds. A method includes i) combining one or more polypeptides with an inorganic material and an organic solvent, and ii) depositing one or more polypeptides, the inorganic material and the organic solvent onto a substrate. These steps can be repeated to provide a composite material that is a multilayer composite material. The composite materials can be used in a wide array of textile, electronic, semi-conducting, and other applications.

Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for making a variety of products. The methods involve mixing sucker ring teeth (SRT) protein and a plasticizer or a solvent to obtain a mixture of the SRT protein and the plasticizer. When the SRT is mixed with a plasticizer it is heated to between 32° C. and 195° C. to obtain an SRT protein melt. The melt is used to form a wide variety of products. When the SRT is mixed with a solvent, such as an organic solvent or an aqueous solvent, a solution of the SRT protein is formed, and is subsequently used to forming a product from the solution, wherein the product contains SRT protein.

Abstract: A method of forming a sculptured thin film on a surface includes rotating the surface and depositing a sculptured thin film comprised of a polymer on the surface to form submicron wires during the step of rotating. The submicron wires may be columnar, helically columnar, chevron shaped, chiral shaped, distinct or interwoven. The depositing step may involve pyrolizing the polymer into a vapor of monomers, directing the vapor of monomers towards the surface while rotating the surface, and polymerizing the monomers on the surface. The surface may be incorporated into biomedical device or other biological application where the sculptured thin film is biocompatible and bioactive and adapted for a biological use.
