Field emission scanning elactron microcopy image showing the microscopic structure of a lower web radius of the Australian netcaster (Asianopis subrufa). The thread contains two separate strands, each of which is made of a soft silk core with fine loops of nanofibres attached to it. Upon extension, the thread initially behaves like a soft elastomer, but as soon as the fibre loops straighten they add to the load resistance of the thread, causing a mixed mechanical profile that combines elasticity with strength.
The special thread meta-structure of the hyperextensible web radii is a looped-fibre reinforced elastomer - seen in all its beauty in this image - which just won the Royal Society Photo Competition! royalsociety.org/journals/pub...
