    Abstract: Synthetic biopolymers are disclosed, which can be engineered in terms of both their amino acid sequences and post-synthesis treatments to which they are subjected, to achieve desired gelation characteristics, particularly upon being exposed to physiological temperature (e.g., 37° C.). These synthetic biopolymers are therefore useful for injectable or implantable compositions for tissue repair, such as for bone void filler compositions. Examples of synthetic biopolymers are synthetic elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) having polypeptide sequences with functional oligopeptide blocks that may include one or more hydrophobic blocks, one or more aggregation-enhancing blocks, and one or more β-sheet formation-inducing blocks. Optionally, one or more biomineralizing blocks may be present, to promote bone repair, growth, and/or strengthening.
