Here's a great (albeit a bit complex) example of how organic chemistry can improve medical applications. If you dare to read ...

Home shops have a lot of applications for adhesives, so it probably pays to know how they work so you can choose the right glue for the job. We’ll also take a look at a couple of broad classes ...

The glue also passed our glue tests on other materials including glass, wood, plastic, and metal. Like all Gorilla super glues, this adhesive does not work on polyethylene plastics. The gel ...

Cyanoacrylate adhesives are one-part acrylate adhesives that cure instantly on contact with mated surfaces through a reaction with surface moisture. Cyanoacrylates are often called super glues.

Modern integrated microelectronic devices are often poorly repairable and difficult to recycle. Debondable adhesives play a ...

Many of us are familiar with the story of The Frog Prince, where a princess kisses a frog, and to her surprise, it transforms ...

This bioinspired adhesive, using fluororubber and carbon nanotubes, withstands temperatures over 200 Celsius while providing ...

A new environmentally friendly adhesive polymer has been developed by bioengineers at the University of California, Berkeley.

As Guan points out, polymer adhesives are used for a wide variety of applications. But, he notes, most are tailored for a specific use, joining wood for example, and cannot be used in different ...

Hydrogel adhesives are available as electrocardiogram (EKG) electrodes and temperature probe covers. They should not be used in situation where adherence is critical; however, even their use to ...

Modern integrated microelectronic devices are often poorly repairable and difficult to recycle. Debondable adhesives play a key role in the transition to a circular economy with sustainable resources, ...
