Spider-silk inspired functional fibers with periodic spindle-knots and the ability to collect water in a directional manner are fabricated on a large scale using a fluid coating method. The fabrication process is investigated in detail, considering factors like the fiber-drawing velocity, solution viscosity, and surface tension. These bioinspired fibers are inexpensive and durable, which makes it possible to collect water from fog in a similar manner to a spider's web.
受蜘蛛丝启发的具有周期性纺锤结的功能性纤维和定向集水能力可以通过流体涂层方法大规模制造。详细研究了制造过程，考虑了纤维拉伸速度、溶液粘度和表面张力等因素。这些仿生纤维既便宜又耐用，因此可以像蜘蛛网一样从雾中收集水。
