The effect of ionic strength on the structure and rheological properties of nanoclay–gelatin shear-thinning biomaterials (STBs) is investigated. A fundamental insight into nanoclay–polymer interactions in physiological environments is provided to design clay-based biomaterials for biomedical applications.
