摘要:
A method for the treatment of spider silk filament for use as a thread or composition in the manufacture of cosmetic, medical, textile, and industrial applications, wherein the spider silk filament, derived from genetically modified organisms, is treated with at least one component selected from the group consisting of vitamins, hormones, antioxidants, chelating agents, antibiotics, preserving agents, fragrances, dyes, pigments, magnetic nanoparticles, nanocrystals, cell adhesion enhancers, thermal insulators, shrinkage agents and cosmetic, medical or dermatological active substances. Textile fabrics obtained by this method are stronger, bio-compatible, bio-degradable and have a higher thermal conductivity. Treated spider silk filament can also be applied in an oil-in-water or water-in-oil protective cream that is hypoallergenic and ensures a firmer skin.

fabric is dyed matt black or the used spider silk filament is black by manipulation of the GMO, so as to be able to optimally absorb solar heat.
8. Textile fabric and / or support structure according to claim 6, 7 wherein the obtained fabric is partly thermally insulated to reduce heat loss to a minimum.
9. Textile fabric and / or support structure according to claim 7, for use in a solar
collector for solar water heaters, solar air heating, compression refrigeration, absorption cooling and water extraction on the basis of these techniques.
10. Textile fabric and / or support structure obtained according to the method of claim 5, characterized in that the fabric has a significantly increased resistance against hard impacts.
11. Textile fabric and / or support structure obtained according to the method of claim 5, characterized in that the fabric has a considerably better adhesion with skin. 12. Textile fabric and / or support structure obtained according to the method of claim 5, characterized in that the construct is bio-degradable at a controlled rate.
13. Textile fabric and / or support structure obtained according to the method of claim 5, characterized in that the construct is biocompatible.
14. Textile fabric and / or support structure obtained according to the method of claim 5, characterized in that the construct stimulates cell growth.
15. A method for the manufacture of a bio-artificial tissue or skin tissue, comprising the steps of:
(A) providing textile fabric and /or support structure according to claim 11-14;
(B) treating of the textile fabric and / or support structure with at least one component selected from the group consisting of fibroblasts, keratinocytes and other cells and tissues.
16. Artificial tissue or skin tissue obtained according to the method of claim 15,
characterized in that the artificial tissue has a remarkable "growth" and stimulates stem cell production.
17. Artificial tissue or skin tissue obtained according to the method of claim 15,
characterized in that the artificial tissue is a bulletproof construct, that has significantly enhanced resistance against hard impacts.
18. A method for the manufacture of a hardenable textile- or industrial construct comprising the steps of:
(A) providing textile fabric and / or support structure obtained according to the method of claim 5;
(B) treating of the textile fabric and / or support structure with at least one component selected from the group consisting of hardeners like rubber, plastics, synthetic materials, cement, concrete, kombucha and other organic and synthetic hardeners. 19. A method for the manufacture of a composition with dissolved spider silk protein, based on spider silk filament obtained according to the method of claim 1, 2.
