Synthetic Spider Silk Market
Artificial spider silk is made up of hierarchical core-sheath structured hydrogel fibres reinforced by ion doping and twist insertion. The fibre has a tensile strength of 895 MPa and a stretchability of 44.3%, making it mechanically comparable to spider silk.
Because of its properties, Synthetic Spider Silkis strong and flexible enough to be used in artificial ligaments, surgical sutures, and cell scaffolds for tissue repair. However, producing the necessary quantities of silk for human medicine is difficult. Spiders are cannibal species that cannot be farmed in the same way that silkworms can.
