A recent study published in Engineering presents a significant development in dry adhesive technology. Researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University, including Duorui Wang, Hongmiao Tian, Jinyou Shao, ...

Scientists have developed a method with which they can measure the contact area between a bacterium and the surface it is 'sitting' on. Interestingly a large contact area does not necessarily mean a ...

Scientists in Japan have developed an intriguing new glue that can basically be switched on and off on demand. The adhesive sticks together when hit with one wavelength of light, and breaks apart with ...

Electronics that can't be easily dismantled for recycling aren't very eco-friendly, nor are petroleum-based adhesives.

Scientists use the adhesive capabilities of mussels as a model for simultaneously optimizing the strength, stretchiness and adhesion of GelMA hydrogels, a feat not obtained in previous attempts.

The aim of this paper is to review the current understanding of the adhesion when at least one of the two materials adhering is a polymer. The second material may also be polymeric, but also it may be ...

Power semiconductor packages are used in high temperature, high voltage environments. With the increase of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) in the automotive market, demands ...

Adhesives are essential in various industries and have widespread use. However, conventional petroleum-based adhesives rely heavily on the petrochemical industry and pose environmental risks due to ...

The Master Bond EP21TDCHT is a user-friendly, two component epoxy adhesive used for bonding, sealing and coating applications. With high peel and shear strength, this product can withstand exposure to ...
