Silkfilms

Films made from Spidersilk combine promising mechanical properties with biocompatibility and no inherent immunogenicity. There is continuous transition between a coating and a film made from this high performance material. Film thickness can be adjusted from below 10 microns to 100 microns and more. The mechanical properties of these films can be specifically tailored depending on the need of the application.

AMSilk®-Specialty Films are made from biomaterials such as spider silk proteins or from blends with synthetic polymers.

Main characteristics:

• transparent and high brilliance
• gas permeable, breathable
• chemically modifiable
• biocompatible

Applications for the Silkfilms are widespread throughout all fields of industry, where high performance films with a unique combination of properties are needed.
