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, ...
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a reusable adhesive from waste polymers that is tougher than commercial glues, works underwater as well as in dry ...
It's no secret that plastic accumulation is a problem. Until we make a serious attempt at reducing the amount of plastic we use for product packaging, disposables, and other everyday purposes, the ...
Most people walk past mussels without giving them a second thought. Yet these small shellfish possess a remarkable ability that has fascinated scientists for decades—they can cling firmly to rocks ...
It’s hard to get glue to work underwater – unless you’re a mussel. Scientists have now created a new adhesive that combines the stickiness of mussel’s natural glue with the slimy, germ-repelling ...
A team of University of Akron faculty has received $390,000 in National Science Foundation (NSF) funding to design and evaluate waterproof medical adhesives made from soybean oil. Nature provides ...
