(Nanowerk Spotlight) The development of flexible electronic devices has faced a persistent materials science challenge: how to securely attach rigid metal components to flexible polymer surfaces.

Water is the enemy of adhesion — due to its high dielectric constant and its strong interaction with many surfaces, the strength of supramolecular interactions in aqueous media is greatly reduced.

Silicone adhesives, along with primers, flame treatment, or plasma treatment, can be used to adhere low-surface-energy plastics to high-strength metals. For this article, several low-surface-energy ...

Among the Marvel characters, Spider-man has been the most popular character for the longest time of its history. The most attractive superpower of the Spider-man is that he shoots sticky spider webs ...

Conventional petroleum-based adhesives rely heavily on the petrochemical industry and pose environmental risks due to harmful emissions and limited reusability. In a new study, researchers developed a ...
