Biomimetic Spider Silk by Crosslinking and Functionalization with Multiarm Polyethylene Glycol

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioconjugation of recombinant mini‐spidroins with multiarm polyethylene glycol (PEG) is employed to produce artificial spider silk, which can be crosslinked and chemically functionalized while maintaining a biomimetic spinning approach. The best fibers exhibit enhanced tensile strength and/or extensibility, both contributing to an increased toughness ...

Sustainable Spinning of Artificial Spider Silk Fibers with Excellent Toughness and Inherent Potential for Functionalization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A sustainable aqueous wet spinning method enables an efficient production of artificial spider silk fibers which show excellent extensibility and remarkable toughness. A highly specific and efficient biomolecular click reaction is employed to functionalize these fibers under mild conditions, which offers a promising method to construct multi‐functional

Metastable Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation and Aging Lead to Strong Processing Path Dependence in Mini‐Spidroin Solutions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates have central functions in cells and are also observed during the assembly of biological materials such as silks. For a mini‐spidroin protein, the presence of long‐lived metastable or dynamically arrested intermediate states leads to complex pathways and difficulties in identifying equilibrium states. Constructing phase diagrams

Efficient and Scalable Radiative Cooling for Photovoltaics Using Solution‐Processable and Solar‐Transparent Mesoporous Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Graded refractive index (GRI) structures are prepared from the layer‐by‐layer spray coating of the mesoporous SiO2 nanoparticles, showing high solar transparency and thermal emissivity. Under outdoor conditions, after 50 days, the GRI‐coated photovoltaics show on average 6.65 ± 1.48 °C lower than that of the non‐coated references, maintaining 80.9 ± 8 ...
