October 10, 2022
Designed for senior-level industry executives, the Adhesive and Sealant Council’s Executive Leadership Conference will take place November 1-3, 2022, at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California.
Events like the World Adhesive and Sealant Conference offer the industry a means to come together, make meaningful connections, and build opportunities for long-term growth.
One key theme at the 2022 World Adhesive and Sealant Conference was the industry’s ongoing commitment to innovation. It’s a topic that’s near and dear to my heart, and we’re exploring research and development activities in this issue with a discussion focusing on R&D-related challenges, opportunities, and digitalization strategies.
The Waterborne Symposium is seeking submissions from academia, government, and industry for presentations focusing on novel research results in all aspects of coatings.
Though bioinspired approaches to adhesive R&D often lead to great improvements in the lab, translating these sophisticated chemistries to commercial scale is a considerable challenge.
With the host of diverse biomaterials produced by an estimated 6.5 million species on land and 2.2 million species in the oceans, the biomimicry toolkit that man has to play with is, for all practical purposes, limitless. The superior designs discovered in nature have inspired many research programs from around the world, both at the university and commercial levels. The gecko, sandcastle worm, caddisfly, mussel, and sea cucumber are all species that have inspired new chemical approaches to creating adhesives with unique performance features.
