Fused Silk Reaches Kevlar-Like Toughness in a Push for Better Medical Implants
Key Takeaways
- Researchers fused intact silk fibers using controlled heat and pressure rather than dissolving and reforming them.
- The resulting material is described as exceptionally strong and tough, with possible implant applications.
- Processing conditions can be adjusted to tune the material’s structure for different uses.
