AMSilk

AMSilk owns a technology invented at the Technische Universität München that enables the development, improvement or differentiation of products based on high performance properties of new biopolymers, which can now for the first time be manufactured at industrial scale. The unique property-giving characteristics of these new materials can be manipulated in a directed fashion at several levels (protein sequence, covalent modifications, and assembly of different spider silk proteins) to design tailor-made products.

These new products enable breakthrough changes in the development of high performance materials in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, composites, and technical textiles, among others.
