Sustainable and Biodegradable Products: The Spider Silk

This could be material like wood to make fire, cotton to make clothing, or any other objects to allow one to survive.

Some of the amazing qualities of these materials are that neptune balls don’t catch on fire, and spider silk can be used to make stuff like bandages, fishing line, clothes, rugs, blankets, and many more.

Bulletproof vests are made up of fibers that have been woven together to create a very strong material to help save you. Kevlar is one of the most important fibers in bulletproof vests because how strong it is. Another fiber, Dyneema, is made from a polyethylene which is a very strong fiber. They also make plates to put in the vest to save you from even more handgun and rifle rounds.

And since it's easy to weave together, they can weave it closer together making it thicker. It's becoming a demand for its silkiness. Japan have suits made out of it and handkerchiefs. Coats and gloves are constantly made from alpaca wool and they hold up to kids playing outside with their sturdy but, soft fibers. Alpaca wool is not as tightly bound as wool, thus making it easier to breath through but, is also thick enough to keep in the heat better than regular wool.

Kevlar is a strong plastic that can resist bullets, knives and harmful chemicals and was invented by accident. Since it was invented, it has been used in many different kinds of protective gear. This plastic has absolutely changed the way we go about warfare, and we even use reinforce material such as car and bike tires.

In the comics Spider-Man happy specialized webs that you used to swing around all over New York City but the web that he used was specialized spider silk that was strong enough to hold a person. Scientist now figure out a way to specialized spider silk to be strong enough for used in people's life. To mimic the way spider silk becomes more acidic as it’s spun out, the group’s new process pumps the solution through a thin tube.  The diameter of the tube’s tip narrows at the end. That forces the protein solution into a jet stream.

Usually made up of interlocking and weaved mesh of black net, it really does resemble the tool used for fishing and the only variation you'd be able to notice is how wide the weaves are. Women succumb to the power of this garment when

The egg hatches into a larva which sucks the spider's blood through small holes, while the spider goes on about its normal web building and insect catching behavior for the next one to two weeks. When the larva is ready to pupate, it injects a chemical into the spider, causing it to build a web whose design is completely different from any it has ever made, and then to sit motionless in the middle of this web. Even if the larva is removed prior to the web-building process, the spider still engages in aberrant web-spinning.[2][3] The wasp larva then molts, kills the spider with a poison and sucks its body dry before discarding it and building a cocoon that hangs from the middle of the web the spider has just built. The larva pupates inside the cocoon, then emerges to mate and begin the cycle over again.

Kevlar is the most abundant material of choice for body armor used by law enforcement and the armed forces. Recent studies suggest that shear thickening fluid (STF)-impregnated Kevlar fabric can increase the performance of the protective material compared to neat Kevlar with similar protection performance and improved mobility. In some studies, STF-impregnated Kevlar shows enhanced protection from ballistic threats as well as shock and stab resistance. Although commercially-available Kevlar body armor is typically restricted to the core of the body, the lighter, flexible, and innovative STF-impregnated Kevlar fabric may have future applications as protective, adaptable coverings for the extremities.

Scientists found a problem when it came to mass producing spider silk, spiders are extremely territorial and tend to kill any other spider that invades said territory. This had been tested by scientists with the Golden Globe Weaver spiders and led to most of the spider farm being wiped out due to their cannibalism. So instead scientists looked to finding out if a different organism could produce the spider silk, like goats. First, the experts had to identify the gene that spiders had that produced the kind of silk they were looking for. Eventually they found that there were six variations that spiders produce. The one that the scientists decided on is called dragline silk, it makes up the framework of a spider’s web. They then experimented

Kevlar is a material formed by combining para-phenylenediamine and terephthaloyl chloride ( Technology Student ). Kevlar can be used to make bulletproof vests.

Silk has high levels of glycerin in its structure that also strengthen it. Gylercerin’s chemical structure is, carbon three, hydrogen eight, oxygen three (c3h8o3). Carbon and hydrogen were elements that helped make up the first stars, and Oxygen was one of the first chemicals to emerge after the Big Bang. Silk is seventy eight percent protein and is made up of amino acid chains (“Unit - Chemistry of Textiles Fibres”). Amino acids are acids and are essential to the human body because they keep muscles strong and healthy. Because of the effects that amino acids have in humans, it is not surprising that they strengthen silk as well (Coffman). The strengthening powers of amino acids help contribute to the strengthening properties of silk as well as the hydrogen bonds, and when these two structures are put together make one of the strongest fabrics (“Unit - Chemistry of Textiles

Kevlar being a para-aramid synthetic fabric means that it has a unique combination of high strength, toughness and thermal stability. When spun to make fibres for fabric kevlar can be then usd for a wide and interesting range of things, some being gloves, fire helmets, shoes, smart phone cases and tires but the list goes on. The most common thing that kevlar is seen in and used for is Bullet and Stab proof vests.

All spiders spin silk, though not all of them weave webs. Silk is most commonly seen used in forming webs, which may vary from a highly elaborated orb of spiraling threads to a single sticky string. Most webs can be placed into one of four different types: the orb webs, the funnel webs, tangle webs, and the sheet webs. The main purpose of a web
