The SILKENE project focuses on creating a new bionic silk fiber reinforced with nanomaterials through a pre-industrial process involving silkworms. It aims to optimize and scale up production for applications in high-performance textiles and composites.
The project aims at designing, developing, scaling-up and optimizing a pre-industrial process towards the mass production of “silkene”, a bionic silk fiber reinforced with graphene, or other nanomaterials such as nanotubes, directly spun by silkworms.
The idea is simply based on nanomaterial ingestion and subsequent “silkene” spinning by silkworms.
Silkene is expected to be significantly stronger and tougher that its natural counterpart.
Since silk produced by silkworms has already impacted our…
