A commonly adopted model for the microstructure of Nephila clavipes major ampullate silk (MAS) is similar to that used for Bombyx mori (silkworm) silk: a simple composite wherein discrete, essentially perfect crystals are dispersed throughout an amorphous protein matrix. However, inconsistencies ari
Optical birefringence measurements are used to characterize how the molecular order of spider (Nephila clavipes) major ampullate silk is affected by linear spinning rate, by the extent of post-spin drawing, and by post-spin drawing rate. Results are interpreted qualitatively in terms of a simple mic
