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 ...

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.

When an experimentalist or a biological mechanism applies an external force onto a cell chemically sticking to its substrate, a reacting "suction" force, due to the slow penetration of the surrounding ...

Silicone adhesives, along with primers, flame treatment, or plasma treatment, can be used to adhere low-surface-energy plastics to high-strength metals. For this article, several low-surface-energy ...

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 ...
