Mechanical and Physical Properties of Spider Silk Films Made from Organic and Water-Based Dopes

In this project, we focus on developing a method to produce synthetic spider silk thin films. Using these films we optimized mechanical properties, lowered cost, and improved the environmental impact using different processing methods. Applications for spider silk films are broad, ranging from physi...
