ABSTRACT
Protein-based biomaterials provide versatile scaffolds for generating functional surfaces for biomedical applications. However, tailoring the functional and biological properties of protein films remains a challenge. Here, we describe a high-throughput method to designing stable, functional biomaterials by combining inkjet deposition of protein inks with a nanoimprint lithography based methodology. The translation of the intrinsically charged proteins into functional materials properties was demonstrated through controlled cellular adhesion. This modular strategy offers a rapid method to produce customizable biomaterials.
