This paper reports the synthesis and complex characterization of novel polymeric networks based on the crosslinking of Bombyx mori silk fibroin via poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) bridges generated by an ammonium cerium nitrate redox system. The research study gives an understanding of the polymerization mechanism in terms of the generation of radical sites, radical growth and termination reaction, as well as the involvement of modifications on silk fibroin structure and properties. The physico-chemical characterization was carried out by FTIR-ATR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and RAMAN spectroscopy with unravelling the chemical modification. The structural characterization and spatial arrangement by secondary structure were carried out by X-ray diffraction and circular dichroism. The thermal behavior and thermal stability were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The novel complex polymer network is intended to be used in the field of smart drug delivery systems.
