Piezoresponse, Mechanical, and Electrical Characteristics of Synthetic Spider Silk Nanofibers

Piezoresponse, Mechanical, and Electrical Characteristics of Synthetic Spider Silk Nanofibers

This work presents electrospun nanofibers from synthetic spider silk protein, and their application as both a mechanical vibration and humidity sensor. Spider silk solution was synthesized from minor ampullate silk protein (MaSp) and then electrospun into nanofibers with a mean diameter of less than...
