✦ Synopsis

Crystallite shape ellipsoid in different varieties of silk fibers namely (i) Chinese (ii) Indian, and (iii) Japanese, has been computed using wide-angle X-ray data and Hosemann's one-dimensional paracrystalline model. The estimated microcrystalline parameters are correlated with the observed physical property of the silk fibers.

Although spider silk has been studied for a number of years the structures of the proteins involved have yet to be definitely determined. X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to study major ampullate (dragline) silk from Nephila clavipes. The silk was studied

Silk fibers were treated with methacrylamide (MAA), and changes in the mechanical properties of the silk fibers were investigated. The breaking load of the silk fibers was almost unchanged, whereas rigidity was markedly increased by the methylmethacrylate (MAA) treatment. Elongation a t break of the
