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-repelling nature of mucus.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Adhesive, Glue, Underwater, Water, MIT, Freie Universität, Biomimicry
Manufacturing could be dramatically changed thanks to two new techniques for joining materials created by scientists in Austria. The two methods create super strong bonds at the pore level, eliminating the need for caustic adhesives.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: TU Graz, Glue, Adhesive, 3D Printing, Building and Construction, Ultrasonic
Neanderthals were gluing handles onto their tools over 100,000 years ago, possibly making the species even smarter than previously thought. So says a new study that discovered the use of adhesives on ancient stone tools that were previously overlooked.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Archeology, New York University, University of Tubingen, Tools
Getting glue to stick in dry conditions is relatively easy, but having it maintain a bond underwater is much more difficult. That said, a new bio-based glue not only works underwater, it actually gets stronger when immersed.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Purdue University, Glue, Adhesive, Underwater, Environmentally-friendly
The utility of the humble mussel in the world of medicine has expanded once again. This time, researchers figured out how to use a mussel-based glue to hold stem cells in place long enough to repair cartilage inside a rabbit's body.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Glue, Biomimicry, Surgery, Cartilage, Pohang University of Science and Technology
