Scientists have identified a mechanism of adhesive proteins in a mussel that controls the surface adhesion and cohesion. They substantiated the synergy of molecules in adhesive proteins. Their new ...

(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.

Ultimate composite strength is highly dependent on interfacial interactions between the filler material and matrix. Nanomaterials are getting continued interest as reinforcement materials in composite ...

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 ...
