Robust β‐Sheet Peptide Reinforced Polymer Fibers

Robust β‐Sheet Peptide Reinforced Polymer Fibers

In natural silks, β‐sheet crystals are embedded within an amorphous matrix resulting in polypeptide‐based nanocomposites. These β‐sheet crystals contribute to the subsequent high strength and toughness of spider silk. Consequently, imitation and mimicry of such concepts utilizing polypeptides provid...
