Silk fibroin (SF) possesses several characteristics that are favorable for tissue engineering. However, the mechanical properties must be modified in some cases. For instance, soft tissues such as those of the circulatory system are more elastic than tissue-engineered materials. The development of polymer blends is a simple method with the potential to provide materials with extended useful properties. In this study, we developed a non-woven SF and thermoplastic polyurethane-blend sheet from a polymer solution. The structure and miscibility of the blend sheet was evaluated using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods. In the 13C cross-polarization and magic angle spinning NMR spectra, no peak shift was observed between the pure and blended samples. The miscibility of the sample was investigated using proton spin-lattice relaxation times in the laboratory frame (T1H). The T1H measurement clearly revealed that the molecular chains of SF and Pellethane exist in close proximity of several tens of nanometers. The development of polymer blends is a simple method with the potential to provide materials with extended useful properties. Here, the SF and Pellethane were observed to be highly miscible with each other even though SF maintained the strong β-sheet crystal structure. This result suggests that SF/Pellethane-blended sheets possess strength that is derived from SF and elasticity that is derived from Pellethane. Therefore, this blended sheet should be a good medical material for soft tissue engineering.
