Abstract
Spider silks demonstrate extraordinary mechanical performance. They rely on an intricate hierarchical structure that gives rise to unique properties. Of the many types of spider silks that are produced, dragline spider silk has attracted the most research attention due its extremely high strength. Since data on dragline spider silk is readily available, much can be understood about the nature of spider silk by analyzing the structure of dragline spider silk. Moreover, the study of spider silk can inspire the design of new materials. Here, we review the structure of dragline silk, present a particular material model to explain their behavior, and discuss the potential outlook in the area.
