摘要

Silkworm silk is an attractive biopolymer for biomedical applications due to its high mechanicalstrength and biocompatibility; as a result, there is increasing interest in scalable devices to spin silk andrecombinant silk so as to improve and customize their properties for diverse biomedical purposes(Vepari and Kaplan 2007 Prog. Polym. Sci. 32). While artificial spinning of regenerated silk fibroinsadds tunability to properties such as degradation rate and surface functionalization, the resultingfibers do not yet approach the mechanical strength of native silkworm silk. These drawbacks reducethe applicability and attractiveness of artificial silk (Kinahan et al 2011 Biomacromolecules 12). Here,we used computational fluid dynamic simulations to incorporate shear in tandem with biomimeticion gradients by coupling a modular novel glass microfluidic device to our previous co-axial flowdevice. Fibers spun with this combined apparatus demonstrated a significant increase in mechanicalstrength compared to fibers spun with the basic apparatus alone, with a three-fold increase in Young’smodulus and extensibility and a twelve-fold increase in toughness. These results thus demonstrate thecritical importance of ionic milieu and shear stress in spinning strong fibers from solubilized silkfibroin.
