Protein-based fibers combine unique mechanical properties with biocompatibility and biodegradability, and often outperform polymer-based fibers. Furthermore, a growing need for sustainable materials has triggered a revival in the study of protein fibers, including keratin, collagen, elastin, and silk, whi...

The micelle model has been explained by the water–protein, protein–protein, and protein–polymer (PEO) interactions, and the wet-spinning process of aqueous silk fibroin (SF) solution10. Subsequently, different biomimetic spinning systems based on this model have been developed to fabricate ...
bending resistance and lightweight, are analyzed based on the above three basic factors. Then, the manufacturing strategy of new biomimetic materials and the application of bionic design in engineering materials are introduced in detail. Finally, the existing severe challenges and future development dire...
A variety of artificial spinning methods have been applied to produce regenerated silk fibers; however, how to spin regenerated silk fibers that retain the advantages of natural silks in terms of structural hierarchy and mechanical properties remains challenging. Here, we show a bioinspired approach to...
Nature has always inspired innovative minds for development of new designs. Animals and plants provide various structures with lower density, more strength and high energy sorption abilities that can incite the development of new designs with significant
We also made biomimetic fibers from regenerated silk fibroin and a thermoplastic using wet spinning. Spectroscopic measurements showed that these man-made fibers exhibit exceptional optical properties for radiative-cooling applications.Columbia University.Shi, Norman Nan....
These nanostructures mimic the antiadhesive structures on the silk-combing area on the legs of cribellate spiders, the calamistrum. The thin films were deposited by matrix-assisted laser deposition and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, water contact angle ...
