AB  - New biocompatible, pH-responsive, and fully fibrous hydrogels have been prepared 
      based on amyloid fibrils hybridized and gelled by functionalized multiwalled 
      carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) far below the gelling concentration of amyloid fibrils. 
      Sulfonic functional groups were introduced on the surfaces of MWNTs either by a 
      covalent diazonium reaction or by physical pi-pi interactions. The presence of the 
      isoelectric point of amyloid fibrils allows a reversible gelling behavior through 
      ionic interactions with functionalized MWNTs.
