ABSTRACT = {In the search for sustainable alternatives to harmful synthetic fibers, an increasing amount of research focuses on biomimicry and natural fibers. Sea silk is an exceptional textile material. It is a kind of natural silk produced using the long silky filaments secreted by a specific bivalve mollusk (<i>Pinna nobilis</i>); now at edge of extinction. This paper suggests a simple but effective way to prepare artificial sea silk from <i>Mytilus edulis</i>. A sea silk solution is prepared using a <i>Mytilus edulis</i> protein, and a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution is mixed with the sea silk solution in order to produce artificial sea silk through a bubble electrospinning technique. The effects of the sea silk concentration on the nanofiber’s morphology and mechanical properties are studied experimentally.},
