Fig. 2. The raw data from a typical thermoelastic experiment on Araneus MA silk. The top curve represents the raw force–temperature data and the bottom curve represents the control data for the expansion of the apparatus. A linear regression fitted to the control data was subtracted from the regression of the raw data to give the corrected voltage-temperature profile of the silk (middle curve).
