Thesis
Sonic properties of silks
- Abstract:
-
Silks are biomaterials made by spiders and silkworms, evolved for natural functions ranging from protection to predation. The research presented in this Thesis combines principles and methods from engineering, physics and biology to study the material properties of single silk fibres from a biological perspective. In particular, the factors that contribute to the variation in properties of single silk fibres are investigated. The first part of the Thesis focuses on silks made by silkworms....
