Spider silks mechanics: Predicting humidity and temperature effects
We deduce a microstructure inspired model for humidity and temperature effects on the mechanical response of spider silks, modeled as a composite material with a hard crystalline and a soft amorphous region. Water molecules decrease the percentage of crosslinks in the softer region inducing a variat...
