The impact of completing this research is that it will help us to understand more about what affects the thickness of spider webs. Spider webs are notably strong and able to withstand large forces, while simultaneously being very soft. They vary widely in strength, some have even been said to be able to withstand hurricane force winds. They have a very high elasticity. Discovering what contributes to differences in spider web characteristics, like their thickness, could help us learn more about the factors that contribute to their extreme elasticity and could be useful for Material engineering.
