Graphical Abstract Janus fibers represent a unique class of materials with an outstanding potential for various applications. Combining different materials within one fiber can result in synergistic effects and multifunctionality. This Review discusses state of the art technologies to produce polymeric Janus fibers and shows potential applications thereof. Abstract Janus fibers are a class of composite materials comprising mechanical and chemical to biological functionality.
Abstract Janus fibers were created by applying two different recombinant spider silk constructs that were electrospun in a side-by-side arrangement. Subsequent gold coupling via thiol-ene click chemistry allowed for highly selective deposition of a conductive gold layer only on the cysteine-modified silk protein side. The study demonstrates the high potential of tailored silk design to generate multi-functional nanomaterials for various applications.
