*This page aims to cover the current State of the Art, explore if any is commercially available/restricted by patents etc, and lay out Potential Avenues of Exploration for the production of Spider Silk via [[Precision Fermentation]] (Although other monomer sourcing strategies will be mentioned as well)<br />
*Spider Silk is an interesting material as it can have the High Performance Characteristics of [[Aramid Fiber]] (ie [[Kevlar]] ) / [[UHMWPE]] ( [[Dyneema]] ) Fiber, while still remaining biodegradable.<br />
*Using ONLY [[Cotton]] / [[Rayon]] (as well as [[Waxed Canvas]] / [[Waxed Cotton]] / [[Oilskin]] / [[Oilcloth]] ) and [[Wool]] / [[Keratin Based Semi-Synthetic Fibers]] is quite limiting, however is best practices in terms of avoiding [[Plastic Pollution]] / [[Micro/Nano-Plastics]] / [[PFAS]]<br />
**Novel Spider Silk Based Fiber/Textiles will remedy this need<br />
