課題組汪鐘凱博士（與唐傳兵教授合作）在ACS Macro Lett. 發(fā)表課題組第148篇論文 (ACS Macro Lett. 2016, 5, 220-223) (題目：Bioinspired High Resilient Elastomers to Mimic Resilin)
該探索的最初始思想來自2006-2007年，Ed Kramer教授提出人類皮膚力學(xué)性能可否在聚合物體系中得以真實(shí)的實(shí)現(xiàn)？
我們課題組堅(jiān)持不懈，不斷嘗試，歷時(shí)長(zhǎng)達(dá)7年之久，終于在2014年初實(shí)現(xiàn)了該思想。
(Bioinspired Design of Nanostructured Elastomers with Cross-Linked Soft Matrix Grafting on the Oriented Rigid Nanofibers To Mimic Mechanical Properties of Human Skin. ACS Nano, 2015, 9 (1), pp 271-278)
這是聚合物物理與聚合物化學(xué)相結(jié)合的結(jié)晶！
之后，我們進(jìn)一步拓展到了仿生節(jié)肢彈性蛋白的合成，也順利實(shí)現(xiàn)。

Natural resilin possesses outstanding mechanical properties, such as high strain, low stiffness, and high resilience, which are difficult to be reproduced in synthetic materials. We designed high resilient elastomers (HREs) with a network structure to mimic natural resilin on the basis of two natural abundant polymers, stiff cellulose and flexible polyisoprene. With plasticization via mineral oil and mechanical cyclic tensile deformation processing, HREs show ultrahigh resilience, high strain, and reasonable tensile strength that closely mimic natural resilin. Moreover, the mechanical properties of HREs can be finely tuned by adjusting the cellulose content, providing the opportunity to synthesize high resilient elastomers that mimic different elastic proteins, such as elastin.
