Strain-dependent fractional molecular diffusion in humid spider silk fibres.

Spider silk is a material well known for its outstanding mechanical properties, combining elasticity and tensile strength. The molecular mobility within the silk’s polymer structure on the nanometer length scale importantly contributes to these macroscopic properties. We have therefore investigated...
