Hydrothermal Effect on Mechanical Properties of <i>Nephila pilipes</i> Spidroin

Hydrothermal Effect on Mechanical Properties of <i>Nephila pilipes</i> Spidroin

The superlative mechanical properties of spider silk and its conspicuous variations have instigated significant interest over the past few years. However, current attempts to synthetically spin spider silk fibers often yield an inferior physical performance, owing to the improper molecular interacti...
