Deskripsi
Natural silk fibres are tough, but they lack required strength and stiffness as a reinforcement for polymer matrix composites. Here, the authors hybridise silks produced by a wild caterpillar A. pernyi with high-performance carbon fibres to produce tough, strong and impact resistant composites.
