Description
The materials of natural origin are often considered as superior and they overcomes manmade materials in various aspects such as strength and toughness. Spider silk is one of the material with extraordinary mechanical properties. Its tensile strength is even comparable to that of steel, and its toughness is more than two or three times that of Nylon or Kevlar. It is biodegradable and may be the alternative for steel and other synthetic materials in near future. These materials also have good dielectric properties and. In this context an attempt has been made here to investigate the dielectric properties of spider web composite with natural rubber. (author)
