Researchers have created a new class of ultra-strong adhesives that can haul a full-size car using nothing more than a thin ...

Taking a cue from chemistry that’s common in the pharmaceutical industry, chemists have used chiral anions to control stereochemistry when making poly(vinyl ethers ...

Researchers have found a way to synthesize polyesters from leftover cooking oil, including a powerful adhesive. The fatty acids in cooking oil are ideal for making polymers because the hydrocarbon ...

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) are developing a new class of medical adhesives by combining hydrogels and glue-like polymers. These adhesives aim to securely and reliably bond ...

Conventional adhesives typically take advantage of mechanical forces to hold materials together. BondLynx© employs bis-diazirine chemistry to create covalent chemical bonds between polymer chains, ...

Inspired by biology, researchers have achieved the highest performing underwater adhesive hydrogel technology to date through a data mining and machine learning approach. Hydrogels are a permeable ...

Researchers from Colorado State University have created an adhesive polymer that is both biodegradable and reusable, and it is stronger than the ones that are currently on the market. The results, ...

Researchers have used a novel method to replicate mussel-adhesive proteins, creating a stronger glue than the material they set out to mimic. Those who have tried to pry a mussel from anything from ...
