Most widely used adhesives are toxic and derived from petroleum, but researchers have come up with a safe, recyclable alternative made from xylan, a component of plant cell walls ...

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 ...

In our experiments, the lap shear adhesion on an aluminum surface held around 1350 N for liquid glue and 225 N for dry adhesive, which is equivalent to 303 pounds and 50 pounds respectively.

After pressing the slides together for 15 min, they shined UV light on the glue for 10 min, cross-linking it to form an elastic adhesive. The adhesive works in solutions with pH 3–12 and 0–1 M ...

A team of researchers from Beijing Forestry University has developed a new bio-based hot glue sourced from a byproduct of the ...

Two steel plates glued together vertically with the new adhesive can support suspended weight of up to 9.1 kg, compared with less than 6.8 kg with EVA. The researchers could apply it easily using ...
