Eggshell membrane (ESM), one of the agricultural bioresources, is being recognized as emerging engineering platforms in various fields including agriculture and biological engineering. Eggshell membrane is the protein-rich membrane between the eggshell and egg white, having interesting characteristics such as structural, chemical, and physical properties. However, the raw ESM has many limitations, which raised some problems for its wide use as commercial engineering platforms. Here, we present new ESM-based engineering platforms based on nanotechnology. To develop the nanotopographically-enhanced ESM platforms, we used graphene, one of the carbon-based nanomaterials, that provides unique nanotopographically-defined cues to the raw ESM. The graphene-ESM hybrid platforms showed hierarchically micro- and nanoscale structures. Our approach can enable the manipulation of ESM-based functional engineering platforms for various applications. |
