The toughness of silk naturally obtained from spiders and silkworms exceeds that of all other natural and man-made fibers. These insects transform aqueous protein feedstocks into mechanically specialized materials, which represents an engineering phenomenon that has developed over millions of years of natural evolution. Silkworms have become a new research hotspot due to the difficulties in collecting spider silk and other challenges. According to continuous research on the natural spinning process of the silkworm, it is possible to divide the main aspects of bionic spinning into two main segments: the solvent and behavior. This work focuses on the various methods currently used for the spinning of artificial silk fibers to replicate natural silk fibers, providing new insights based on changes in the fiber properties and production processes over time.
从蜘蛛和蚕自然获取的丝绸的韧性超过所有其他天然和人造纤维。这些昆虫将水性蛋白质原料转化为具有机械特性的材料，这是一种在数百万年自然进化过程中发展起来的工程现象。由于收集蜘蛛丝存在困难及其他挑战，蚕已成为一个新的研究热点。根据对蚕自然吐丝过程的持续研究，仿生纺丝的主要方面可分为两个主要部分：溶剂和行为。这项工作聚焦于目前用于纺制人造丝纤维以复制天然丝纤维的各种方法，基于纤维性能和生产工艺随时间的变化提供新的见解。
