Description :
Everyone is much aware about the applications of the silk produced from the silkworm. Recently the researchers are trying to develop new materials that are stronger, lighter, and tougher than materials which the people are using presently. Spider silk is captivating material with low density and biodegradability. Spider silk is considered as the ideal biomaterial. However, there are certain issues, as the spider silk is not produced in sufficient quantities one may find it to be a difficult task. This material has high ability to absorb energy, due to combination of strength and extensibility it has ascribed ability to stop bleeding. This research paper will describe the biomedical applications of spider silk.
