Bees produce a super strong silk that has a special molecular structure that gives the silk special functionality by introducing additional or different proteins.
The result is ‘smart’ bee silk that can be turned into fibres, thick sponges or transparent films.
This can be used for many different purposes from advanced aviation to wound repair and the replacement of human tissue.
Medical applications identified include wound repair, drug delivery, and repairing and replacing human tissues such as membranes, ligaments, blood vessels and cartilage.
“CSIRO has identified a broad range of insect silks that could be produced sustainably and used for a wide range of industrial and medical applications,” said CSIRO Business Development and Commercialization General Manager, Cameron Begley.
“We have found ways to convert the bee silk into a range of different forms, from micro-particles and sponges through to spun fibers that can lead to knitted and woven fabrics.”
