Abstract Spider silk is a kind of natural biomaterial with superior performance. Its mechanical properties and biocompatibility are incomparable with those of other natural and artificial materials. This article first summarizes the structure and the characteristics of natural spider silk. It shows the great research value of spider silk and spider silk bionic materials. Then, the development status of spider silk bionic materials is reviewed from the perspectives of material mechanical…

The focus will be on the structure and function of the highly conserved N‐domains and C‐terminal domains of spider dragline silk which, unlike the very long repetitive sequence elements, adopt a folded conformation in solution and are therefore able to control intermolecular interactions and aggregation between other spider silk molecules.

Nonlinear material behaviour of spider silk yields robust webs

Web deformation experiments and simulations identify the nonlinear response of silk threads to stress—involving softening at a yield point and substantial stiffening at large strain until failure—as being crucial to localize load-induced deformation and resulting in mechanically robust spider webs.
