Using hydrodynamic focusing to predictably alter the diameter of synthetic silk fibers

Spiders and silkworms provide a model of superior processing for multifunctional and highly versatile high-performance fibers. Mimicking the spider’s complex control system for chemical and mechanical gradients has remained an ongoing obstacle for synthetic silk production. In this study, the use of...
