there may be uses (and even similar processes already in existence) in materials science ...

you have a large number of variables yet to be determined, Big Don -

the chemistry, eg does it only work with those chemicals (in what concentrations?) - would, say, ammonium nitrate work at all?,
and water as a subsequent step, or would concurrent be as effective?
does it only work on those particular webs?

would they last longer if you didn't leave them outside to be eaten/whatever?
