Textile Fiber Inspired by Spider Silk

Do you know what Spintex is

Spintex Engineering Ltd. (Spintex) is a University of Oxford spinout, which has developed a unique technology for producing strong and pure ‘spider-like’ fibers. The fibers self-assemble from a liquid feedstock, with energy efficiency 1000x greater than synthetic polymers

A combination of low temperatures and pressures, with water as the only by-product, positions Spintex as the first truly sustainable and scalable process on the market

Spintex will initially target medical devices, a market expected to reach $20.2B by 2022 (4.8% CAGR), particularly for implantable devices including surgical sutures, hernia repair fabrics and vascular prostheses
