This schematic shows how cells are cultured onto a synthetic version of a high-strength mussel adhesive that sets underwater. The polymer has been shown to be non-toxic to living cells, suggesting its ...

Purdue University researchers have shown that a synthetic version of a high-strength adhesive produced by mussels is non-toxic to living cells, suggesting its potential suitability for surgical and ...

For decades, scientists have tried to make surgical glues modeled after adhesive proteins that mussels use to cling to underwater surfaces. But making a practical glue that can be applied to wet ...

JEC World 2026: From sustainability targets to process integration and serial production readiness, Teijin is turning low-carbon carbon fiber materials like Tenax Next into customer-ready solutions.

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Maximize Market Research's latest analysis reveals that the global Adhesive Tapes Market, valued at USD 74.57 Billion in 2024 ...
