The use of silk fibroin in composite materials has been extensively explored in many studies, owing to its remarkable mechanical properties. Recently, the -glycan-engineered P25 protein was utilized to improve the mechanical properties of silk. However, the mechanism by which -glycan-engineered P25 protein enhances the mechanical properties of silk remains unclear.

Silk fiber is renowned for its superb mechanical properties, such as over 7 times the toughness of Kevlar 49 Fibre. As the spider silk is tougher than any man-made fiber, there is a lot to be learned from spider silk. Recently, it has been reported that a large portion of the properties of silk is from naturally formed nano-fishnet structures of silk, but neither its formation mechanism nor its formation condition has been explained.
