Abstract :
Silk from the spider Steatoda triangulosa is
harvested, and samples are subjected to various doses of
beta radiation using a scanning electron microscope
(SEM). Irradiated and unirradiated samples are destructively
tested to determine the stress–strain characteristics.
From these data, the strength of the irradiated silk is
determined as a function of dose
