Future Fashion Is Spider Silks.
|
Scientists Achieve Self-assembly Of Spider Silk Fibre In Insect Cells.
Well well, here is hope for the mass production of commercial spider
silk fibres.
Imagine wearing a latest fashion suit, which is made out of cloth weaved from
spider silk fibres that are six times stronger than steel! Couple that with
laminated underwear for extra protection. Then how about a tie that you can pull
a car with in an emergency case? Women's clothes made of spider silks should be
the ultimate challenge for rapists too. They are waterproof too and they might
have applications for diving suits and space outfits too. The biggest problem
would be a new demand for titanium plated tungsten steel scissors and needles to
cut and sew the new material. Or perhaps only LASER beams of varying strength
shall be used for cutting and "welding" the new material. It is too early to
predict the implications that are so numerous that I have no idea where to
begin.
