THEY MANUFACTURE THE STRONGEST BIOMATERIAL IN THE WORLD, EIGHT TIMES MORE RESISTANT THAN SPIDER SILK
The spider web
is the strongest natural fiber known to human beings, even stronger than steel.
The ultra-resistant material that they have manufactured is made of cellulose
nanofibers, a structural polysaccharide in plants – it is part of the support
tissues. Through a new production method, these Swedish researchers have
successfully transferred the unique mechanical properties of these nanofibers
to a macroscopic material – which can be seen with the naked eye, without the
aid of a microscope – and very light that could be used as an alternative
ecological to create the plastic that is used in the manufacture of airplanes,
cars, furniture and other products. "Our new material has potential even
for biomedicine," explains Söderberg in a press release published by DESI.
What is DESI?
ResponderEliminarThis is about the last paragraph.
DESI is a newspaper where we take the new. María
EliminarWho is produce this stronger material?(MANU)
ResponderEliminarThrough many ways, but mainly at high temperatures os sometimes it can be in the forest, where the spiders live (in the trees) (CARLOS)

ResponderEliminarIs the spider web resistant to extreme heat and water?(Ricardo)
YES!! Absolutely yes! This spider can resist to really high temperatures an also low temperatures, the same as some other spider species. (CARLOS)
