Fig. 5

The summarized relationship between the balance of crystalline/amorphous regions and mechanical properties based on previous studies. The higher the ratio of crystalline regions is, the lower the tensile strength. The fibroin structure data of Tncv (Trichonephila clavipes), Tned (Trichonephila edulis), Sric (Samia cynthia ricini), and Bmor (Bombyx mori) were obtained from [28], and those for Evar (Eumeta variegata) were obtained from [12]. Each mechanical property value was taken from previous studies, Tncv [9]:, Tned [30]:, Sric and Bmor [14]:, Evar [10]:, respectively
