Adhesive bonding to diverse substances is vital to a great number of the established, cutting-
edge and emerging applications. We have witnessed, in the last few years, the …

The complexation of polyelectrolytes with other oppositely charged structures gives rise to a
great variety of functional materials with potential applications in a wide spectrum of …

Soybean meal (SM) adhesive is a promising alternative to petroleum-based ones. However,
the poor water resistance, low bonding strength, and susceptibility to mildew limit its …

As a soybean oil extractive byproduct, high temperature defatted soy meal (HSM) presents
great potential as a raw material for vegetable protein adhesives to replace aldehyde-based …

The weak internal cohesion and initial viscosity of soy protein adhesives lead to the poor
cold-pressing bonding performance of plywood preparation. This deficiency restricted the …

It is challenging for adhesives to adhere to tissues covered with body fluids as the hydration
layer hinders adhesive/tissue interfacial interactions. Marine creature mussels can firmly …

Developing new underwater glue adhesives with robust and repeatable adhesion to various
surfaces is promising and useful in marine life and medical treatments. In this work, we …

Solvent-free adhesive materials are attracting intensive attention compared to synthetic
adhesives in both organic and aqueous solutions on account of their stability and …
