Synthetic
Spider Silk: Introduction
·
Spider silk is also known as gossamer. It is a sought after
biomaterial. Spider silk is a protein fiber made in the glands of a spider.
This silk is flexible and lightweight. These fibers are waterproof and have
tensile strength similar to that of steel. These fibers can be stretched up to
40% of their original length without breaking. Scientists across the globe have
been trying to mimic the properties of spider silk into synthetic silk fibers,
as spiders cannot be farmed; they are territorial and cannibalistic in close
proximity. Over the last few years, scientists have developed multiple ways to
synthesize the properties of spider silk using genetically modifying
Escherichia coli bacteria, plants, silkworms, yeasts, and even goats. Some of
these methods are not scalable to the commercial production; however, methods
such as fermentation of yeast are being used by companies, such as Bolt Thread,
for commercial production of synthetic silk fibers. These fibers are used in
applications such as textiles, defense, and health care.
Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Synthetic Spider Silk
