Deformation induced hydrophobicity: implications in spider silk formation

A theoretical framework, which considers the effect of strong inter-polymer associations on phase separation of a deforming polyacrylamide solution is presented. It is shown that deformation induces effective hydrophobicity in the stretched polymer chains resulting in the formation of strong coopera...
