Optical fluorescent spider silk electrospun nanofibers with embedded cerium oxide nanoparticles
Kandas I.; Shehata N.; Hassounah I.; Sobol?iak P.; Krupa I.; Lewis R.... more authors ... less authors ( SPIE , 2018 , Article)The work demonstrates an electrospun nanocomposite of recombinant spider silk protein (rSSp) nanofibers with embedded cerium oxide (ceria) nanoparticles. RSSP (MaSp1) has been produced, extracted from goat milk, and ... -
Piezoresponse, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of synthetic spider silk nanofibers
Shehata N.; Kandas I.; Hassounah I.; Sobol?iak P.; Krupa I.; Mrlik M.; Popelka A.; Steadman J.; Lewis R.... more authors ... less authors ( MDPI AG , 2018 , Article)This work presents electrospun nanofibers from synthetic spider silk protein, and their application as both a mechanical vibration and humidity sensor. Spider silk solution was synthesized from minor ampullate silk protein ... -
Spider silk fibers: Synthesis, characterization, and related biomedical applications
Shehata N.; Hassounah I.; Sobolciak P.; Krupa I.; Lewis R.; Kandas I.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2019 , Book chapter)Compared to silkworm silks, spider silks (SS) are considered stronger, most elastic, and tougher biomaterials. Web-weaving spiders use impressive silks where the proteins in the silks can be described as virtually nondiverged. ...
