- F. In, S. Kim, Jai Hyung Yoon, C. Viney
- Economics
- 1 March 2001
This paper examines dynamic interdependence, volatility transmission, and market integration across selected stock markets during the Asian financial crisis periods 1997 and 1998. Using a vector… Expand

Silkworm silk as an engineering material
- J. Pérez-Rigueiro, C. Viney, J. Llorca, M. Elices
- Materials Science
- 19 December 1998
While silk exhibits high values of tensile strength and stiffness, these properties are compromised by their poor reproducibility. We present the results of experiments aimed at characterizing the… Expand
Liquid crystallinity of natural silk secretions

NATURAL silk exhibits a strength and stiffness similar to, and a toughness up to ten times greater than, that of artificial high-performance fibres1–5. These exceptional tensile properties, the… Expand
Fibre science: Supercontraction stress in wet spider dragline
Unrestrained spider dragline 'super-contracts' when it is wetted, causing its length to shrink by about half and its diameter to almost double. Here we measure the supercontraction stresses generated… Expand
Spider major ampullate silk (drag line): smart composite processing based on imperfect crystals
- B. L. Thiel, C. Viney
- Materials Science
- 1 February 1997
A spider can spin major ampullate silk (drag line) at rates that differ by more than an order of magnitude, and yet obtain consistently reliable tensile properties. Silk samples collected at… Expand

Natural silks are extracellular fibers that are spun by a variety of organisms, for highly specialized applications. Their formation specifically by spinning is the single feature that distinguishes… Expand
Evaluating the silk/epoxy interface by means of the Microbond Test
Abstract The interaction between silkworm silk fibre and a resin matrix was investigated by means of the Microbond Test. Cured resin droplets were sheared from silk fibres by the knife-edged jaws of… Expand
