Abstract
Hydrogels belong to the group of nontoxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible polymers, which recently play an increasingly important role in the biomaterials market. Among their unique properties such may be mentioned as an ability to reversibly absorb liquids, and possibility of their easy modification with various substances of synthetic or natural origin. Growing interest in the use of proteins in the preparation of hydrogel composites or nanocomposites is recently observed. Proteins belong to the group of organic compounds occurring in every living cell. They are composed of amino acids and show bioactivity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Thus protein-based hydrogel nanocomposites seem to be promising materials with a great application potential in medicine and related fields. Such proteins are considered, for example, collagen, gelatin, keratin, or fibroin. In this chapter, examples of such nanocomposites have been presented while a main attention was paid primarily to their synthesis methodology, properties, and potential application.
