Simultaneous effect of strain rate and humidity on the structure and mechanical behavior of spider silk
Spider silk is well known for its high toughness. Here, a comprehensive study of the simultaneous effect of strain rate and humidity on toughness is reported, revealing that toughness is highest under mildly humid conditions and at high strain rates, similar conditions to those in nature.
