Mechanical properties of silk of the Australian golden orb weavers Nephila pilipes and Nephila plumipes

Silks from orb-weaving spiders are exceptionally tough, producing a model polymer for biomimetic fibre development. The mechanical properties of naturally spun silk threads from two species of Australian orb-weavers, Nephila pilipes and Nephila plumipes, were examined here in relation to overall thr...
