  2. Spider silk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_silk

    Spider silk structure: crystalline beta-sheets separated by amorphous linkages. Silks have a hierarchical structure. The primary structure is the amino acid sequence of its proteins (), mainly consisting of highly repetitive glycine and alanine blocks, [4] [5] which is why silks are often referred to as a block co-polymer.

  3. Animal fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_fiber

    The length of the silk fiber depends on how it has been prepared. Since the cocoon is made of one strand, if the cocoon is unwound carefully the fibers can be very long. Spider silk is the strongest natural fiber known. The strongest dragline silk is five times stronger than steel and three times tougher than Kevlar.

    The spider silk has a greater tensile strength than steel, and the material is even strong enough to stop a bullet. In terms of everyday usage, spider silk could be a huge game changer when it ...

  5. Natural fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_fiber

    Spider silk has hard and elastic regions that together contribute to its strain rate sensitivity, these cause the silk to exhibit strain hardening as well. [12] Properties of natural fibers are also dependent on the moisture content in the fiber. [10]

  6. Araneus ventricosus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araneus_ventricosus

    Since spider silk has a variety of potential uses, including in fabrics and biomedical technologies, the sequence motifs for genes coding for this silk in the species have been studied to examine the potential for artificial production. In the study by Lee et al., clones of the genes for this silk were produced and injected into insect cells to ...

  7. Biotextile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotextile

    Traditionally, obtaining spider silk in sufficient quantities necessitates managing large populations of spiders, which often leads to territorial conflicts and cannibalism within the farmed spider population. To circumvent this challenge, scientists have genetically engineered goats to produce the silk protein exclusively in their milk.

    A classic circular form spider's web Infographic illustrating the process of constructing an orb web. A spider web, spiderweb, spider's web, or cobweb (from the archaic word coppe, meaning 'spider') [1] is a structure created by a spider out of proteinaceous spider silk extruded from its spinnerets, generally meant to catch its prey.

  9. List of textile fibres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_textile_fibres

    Textile fibres or textile fibers (see spelling differences) can be created from many natural sources (animal hair or fur, cocoons as with silk worm cocoons), as well as semisynthetic methods that use naturally occurring polymers, and synthetic methods that use polymer-based materials, and even minerals such as metals to make foils and wires.
