“…[34,35] The broadening observed in this work, however, could mainly be attributed to the crystallite size because spider silk is known to have a high thermal stability. [36] In addition, the peak intensity ratio, that is, @I [I B,max /I A,max ] also revealed variations. Initially, the intensity ratio of SS/N, that is, @I SS/N = [I B,max /I A,max ] SS/N , was around 2.9.…”
