Mechanical characterization of spider silk inspired peptide-containing hybrids

Spiders can produce different types of silks with different functions by tuning the hierarchical structure of spidroin. Inspired by the secondary structure of spider silk, a series of peptide-polyurethane/urea (PUU) hybrids with various peptide contents were synthesized in this work. By effective co...
