Abstract
The present disclosure relates to compositions, methods of making, and methods of using a modified silk-based composition having a selectively tunable hydrophobicity. The provided compositions include silk fibroin having a haloalkyl substituent. The haloalkyl substituent is coupled to an amino acid of the silk fibroin though a linking agent.
