New Adhesive Found To Work Perfectly In Seawater
Scientists from Huazhong University of Science and Technology have created a new wet adhesive that performs exceptionally well in saltwater environments. This is a substantial breakthrough since seawater is one of the most unforgiving environments for wet adhesives. The main issue with wet adhesives in seawater is that the high ion concentrations interfere with the
This octopus-inspired adhesive can stick to just about anything
A new adhesive technology pays homage to one of nature’s strongest sources of suction: an octopus tentacle. Researchers replicated an octopus’s strong grip and controlled release to create a tool that manipulates a wide array of objects. It could help improve underwater construction methods or find application in everyday devices like an assistive glove. Each
