Spider-silk inspired polymeric networks by harnessing the mechanical potential of β-sheets through network guided assembly

It is known the β-sheet structures in silk-inspired materials generate increased mechanical properties. Here, the authors report on a method of creating silk-inspired materials using in situ formation of β-sheets in an amorphous polymer to replicate the structure of silk and increase the mechanical...
