摘      要：Ductile and damage-tolerant fibers(DDTFs)are desired in aerospace engineering,mechanical engineering,and biomedical engineering because of their ability to prevent the catastrophic sudden structural/mechanical ***,in practice,design and fabrication of DDTFs remain a major challenge due to finite fiber size and limited processing *** this regard,animal silks can provide *** are hierarchically structured protein fibers with an elegant trade-off of mechanical strength,extensibility and damage tolerance,making them one of the toughest materials *** this article,we confirmed that nanofibril organization could improve the ductility and damage-tolerance of silk fibers through restricted fibril shearing,controlled slippage and *** by these strategies,we further established a rational strategy to produce polyamide DDTFs by combining electrospinning and yarn-spinning *** resultant polymeric DDTFs show a silk-like fracture resistance behavior,indicating potential applications in smart textile,biomedicine,and mechanical engineering.
