So I'm pretty much signing off of this forum. Hopefully, the next generation of Spidey fans will be able to complete this. I'm going to college this fall and I might be able to take both a welding course, and an adhesive/plastic creation class. If I end up having any breakthroughs, I'll let you guys know. Here's the basic thing that you need to create a good formula.
It needs a structure, a surfactant, water, and a glue.
The structure is some form of plastic/polymer. It is most likely a polyamide. A polyamide is a substance like nylon or kevlar. The main problem is being able to condense it as a liquid. For that to happen, one must use either a solvent, like acetone to convert the solid into a liquid. The most effective solvent would be one that subliminates and isn't an acid. Unfortunately, most polyamides are resistant to everything but acids. When it comes to Nylon, there is a process where you can turn two liquids into a solid nylon but it is weak, and the two chemicals are dangerous.
For me, I've found that I should use a plastic that will dissolve in a weak solvent, like acetone, that can be bonded to a crosslinking agent when the acetone dissolves. For me, I want to combine cellulose acetate with an oxygen crosslinking polyurethane.
There is another ingredient with oxygen ending points. It is incredibly difficult to generate without the use of an industrial solvent. I guess, since this might be my last message here, I might as well tell you what it is. Graphene. Graphene is a substance devised from graphite powder when exposed to a dangerous acid. It is so strong that a stacked sheet would require hundreds of thousands of pounds per square inch to break it. Basically, by bonding several grams to the plastic, it can increase it's strength to beyond what a spider web is capable of. It is mostly in a matter of making it.
The surfactant and the water is for creating an expansion. If the polymer will harden (thanks to the polyurethane), and the graphene keeps it strength, then the web will be able to be held and a little fluid will produce much more matter, even if it is mostly foam.
Finally, the glue. The glue must be one that hardens instantly. I recommend cyanoacrylate in controlled portions as it is the only glue strong enough that hardens that quickly. The plastic might be destroyed by this so it is important to research that kind of thing. Luckily, the solvent should keep this in control, and in a liquid form so that it won't react until it has left the shooter. The glue has a strange property though. Less is more. If you use this glue, use less of it. A thin layer has shown to work thousands of pounds better than a glob of it. I don't have the time to explain this, but you can look it up. Add (I think) vinegar and salt to speed up the reaction once it leaves the shooter. I hear that orange juice also helps it, but that's a rumor.
So that's what my research has shown. I hope that you use this work well. If you have any questions, ask me via email instead of on this site. My name is Robert Ross, and my email is
