Abstract in brief

  • This study explores creating sustainable composite materials by combining silk-like proteins with nanocellulose, resulting in strong, tough fibers.
  • Researchers used specially designed recombinant proteins with a three-part structure that combines spider silk with cellulose-binding ends, enabling the formation of continuous fibers through aligned nanocellulose and protein assembly.
  • The process involves phase separation into coacervates and structural changes that produce a composite with high strength, stiffness, and toughness, highlighting the potential of bioengineered materials for various applications.]

@ud9304 The silk can be made into kevlar as well as clothes, and even in the operating room it can be used. iirc In fact, ScyShow on youtube just put out a video on spider silk https://t.co/BDVsJ63cab There are also genetically modified goats that produce spider silk in their milk
