Due to their extreme elasticity and ability to withstand remarkable forces, spider webs have a lot of potential in biotechnology. Discovering more about the factors that influence different characteristics of spider webs, like their thickness, can help us understand more about them and why they are so durable. Modeling the properties of spider webs could be useful in materials engineering and synthesizing a material that is both strong and soft. They could also be used for synthesizing replacement tissues that are flexible and strong.
