  • Publication number: 20200032424
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for recombinant protein fiber yarns engineered to have desirable properties along with textiles made using such yarns. Recombinant protein fibers (RPFs) whose properties can be influenced by their composition, structure and processing to obtain improved combinations of mechanical properties, chemical properties, and antimicrobial properties for a given application are presented, along with methods of producing those fibers. The present disclosure also presents filament yarns, spun yarns, and blended yarns formed using these fibers that can be used to manufacture textiles suitable for different applications. Additionally, the combinations of RPFs with certain properties, and yarns and textiles produced from those yarns with certain structures yield yarns and textiles with certain properties designed for various applications.
