Publikováno v: Biomacromolecules. 22:993-1000

Spider silk is a protein material that exhibits extraordinary and nontrivial properties such as the ability to soften and decrease its length by up to ∼60% upon exposure to high humidity. This process is commonly called supercontraction and is the

Combining stiffness and stretchiness There is usually a trade-off between making a material stretchy, so that it can absorb energy on deformation, and making a material stiff, so that it does not extend very much when stretched. Mussels have long bee
