Exploring Sericin: A Natural Protein for Sustainable Electronics

12/12/2025

Did you know that silkworm cocoons contain a protein called sericin, known for its biocompatibility and unique material properties? Researchers are now investigating its potential applications beyond textiles, including its use in conductive inks for sustainable electronics.

A newly published paper, co-authored by our Simone Vesentini, delves into the fascinating characteristics of sericin and how it could contribute to eco-friendly electronic solutions. This research opens new possibilities for developing sustainable materials that align with the growing demand for greener technologies.
