Abstract:

Spider silks have been received much attention from researchers due to their excellent mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. Different from the silk, the spider silk is difficult to be commercially produced in a large scale, as the spiders kill each other in large-scale breeding. Therefore, the development of artificial spider silk and imitation spider silk fibers have become an effective method to solve the above problems. In order to better understand the nature of the strength and toughness of spider silk, the structure of nature spider silk was reviewed, including the primary and β-crystal network (nanofibril) structure and formation process. The progress in the preparation of artificial spider silk and imitation spider silk fibers, including polypeptides, recombinant spider fibrous protein, polymer materials and carbon nanotube yarns and other materials was introduced, which provided reference for further reaearch and large-scale preparation of artificial spider and imitation spider fiber.

Key words: spider silk, artificial spider silk, imitation spider silk fiber, mechanical property, structure of spider silk
