Researchers Discover New Way to Create Stronger Adhesives with Salt

November 22, 2024 2:35 PM

The search for stronger, more adaptable adhesives is ongoing. According to recent research, that search may come down to adding a dash of salt to two special polymer ingredients known as polyzwitterions, or PZIs. New research from a Florida A&M University-Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) College of Engineering team led by Hoyong Chung, an associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, shows a new way to create adhesives by using the natural attraction between positively and negatively charged materials. The work was recently published in Journal of the American Chemical Society.
