Self‐Healable Spider Dragline Silk Materials (Adv. Funct. Mater. 44/2023)

Abstract

Self-Healable Spider Silk In article number 2303571, Ta-I Yang, Hsuan-Chen Wu, and co-workers present their discovery of a unique self-healing property in both natural and biosynthetic Nephila pilipes spider silk materials. Biosynthetic silk materials doped with graphene are fabricated to possess both healability and electrical conductivity. The creation of self-repairable wearable electronics can be achieved through the integration of graphene-silk fabrics.
