Abstract
This chapter deals with protein nanofibrils (PNFs), also referred to as amyloid fibrils. This is an emerging field in nanoscience and engineering. Sources for PNFs, ways of making these, including the mechanisms of the fibrillation process, and factors affecting the production process are presented here. Properties of the PNFs themselves as well as properties and preparation of PNF materials in the form of hydrogels, films, and fibers are also described. In this chapter, PNF-based nanocomposites and templates are also considered. Possible applications of PNFs are discussed and put in the perspective of future uses as, or in, industrial nanomaterials.
