Enhancing the Mechanical Toughness of Epoxy-Resin Composites Using Natural Silk Reinforcements

Strong and tough epoxy composites are developed using a less-studied fibre reinforcement, that of natural silk. Two common but structurally distinct silks from the domestic B. mori/Bm and the wild A. pernyi/Ap silkworms are selected in fabric forms. We show that the toughening effects on silk-epoxy...
