Low-Molecular-Weight Supramolecular Adhesives: High Strength, Long-lasting, Water-Resistant, and Underwater Adhesion Properties
Xing Li, Yan Deng, Jinlei Lai, Gai Zhao, Shengyi Dong, and others successfully designed and prepared a novel supramolecular adhesive composed of low-molecular-weight monomers. This adhesive achieved strong and long-lasting adhesion on various surfaces (from hydrophilic glass and metal iron to highly hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene and polymethyl methacrylate), with a maximum adhesion strength of 4.174 MPa. … Read more
