Claims25
A composition comprising a porous major ampullate spidroin protein (MaSp)-based fiber wherein said fiber is characterized by a BET surface area of at least 100 m2/g, and a residual amount of an organic solvent.
A method for obtaining a dried major ampullate spidroin protein (MaSp)-based fiber, the method comprising:
- a. mixing a MaSp-based fiber with a liquid comprising an organic solvent to obtain a mixture;
- and
- b. providing said mixture under conditions suitable for substantially removing said liquid from said mixture,
- thereby obtaining said dried MaSp-based fiber, wherein the dried MaSp-based fiber is characterized by BET surface area of at least 100 m2/g, and a residual amount of an organic solvent.
