A chemical alteration in polymers derived from alpha-lipoic acid – a small molecule that aids cell metabolism – could enable high-performing adhesives in foetal surgery.
Adhesive residue left on recyclable materials, such as glass and cardboard, can now be dissolved using degradable polymers, say University of Surrey, UK, scientists.
REACH training and certification requirements for users of diisocyanates is now compulsory, impacting the use of many polyurethane adhesives. Peter Swanson, Managing Director of Intertronics, explains how manufacturers can best prepare for this change.
Dentistry relies upon and drives developments in materials science. Dr Michael Ford MIMMM at Haseltine Lake Kempner fills us in on the trends in innovation.
A medical adhesive modelled on the structures found in marine animals like mussels and flatworms uses 'suction to absorb blood, clear the surface for adhesion and bond to human tissue to provide a physical seal', according to the Canadian-based scientists behind its development.
A common household plastic has been transformed into a reusable adhesive by US scientists, who claim it combines strength and ductility producing one of the toughest materials reported.
Professor Paul Hogg FIMMM and Dr Faye Smith FIMMM at Avalon Consultancy Services, UK, investigate the opportunities and challenges for fibre-reinforced polymer composites in zero-carbon emission flight.
Electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs) are set to become a key conductive joining technology across several industries, such as flexible electronics, in-mould electronics, and wearable technologies.
