Forcibly spun dragline silk fibers from web-building spider Trichonephila clavata ensure robustness irrespective of spinning speed and humidity

Kenjiro Yazawa et al.

Summary: The study found that the structural and mechanical properties of dragline silk fibers are not affected by spinning speed and humidity, maintaining strength and extensibility. This helps understand the biological basis of spider silk fiber formation and provides insights into spinning conditions for creating synthetic silk fibers.
