Abstract
⺠Thermal transitions of spider silks were observed for the first time by DSC tests. ⺠DSC tests were carried out with spider silk samples of relatively large mass (10 mg). ⺠Thermal transitions found at around 200 °C are in agreement with DMA results. ⺠Water was found to act as a plasticizer in native and regenerated spider silks.
