Patent-pending adhesive formulations developed from fully sustainable, bio-based components establish bonds that grow stronger when underwater or exposed to wet conditions.
Patent-pending adhesive formulations developed at Purdue University from fully sustainable, bio-based components establish bonds that grow stronger when underwater or exposed to wet conditions.
Protective skin formed on the surface of the adhesives when placed underwater, which kept water from entering the rest of the material immediately."But once the skin was in place, it could be broken to induce faster bond formation," Schmidt said. "Once the in vivo and biomedical realm is left behind, there is an entire world of other applications requiring metals, plastics, wood and inorganic substrates that need adhesives to work in the presence of water," Schmidt said."Food, oral and cosmetic applications are less restrictive when it comes to purity of starting materials. Food-grade polymers can often be used for making wet adhesives.
"We recently visited the Florida Keys to test a few formulations in bucketsful of ocean water," Schmidt said."It is great to see our work outside of the research lab and in the real, wet world."
