University of Toronto Engineering researchers have identified how some organisms attach themselves in wet environments, which could inform the design of adhesives that work reliably in water.

"By mimicking nature, we can develop new greener and more sustainable avenues for making materials with excellent properties," explained McGill University professor Matthew Harrington, lead author on a new study.

Key properties of Cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) hydroxyl functional molecules were examined to identify utility of CNSL-based technology for electric vehicles (EV) battery.

Adhesives are designed to bond materials together, but ongoing innovation continues to expand their role well beyond that core function.

Researchers at the University of Oulu, Finland, have developed new high-performance, bio-based resins that can replace conventional oil-based materials in composite products.

The state-of-the-art facility was designed to empower future-ready innovation in Latin America.

New insights into industrial catalysts could help chemical producers cut carbon emissions and improve reliability in global vinyl acetate monomer production.

With the move, Henkel brings together its Adhesives Technology Application Engineering Laboratory, the new Academy of Hair, Global Supply Chain Hub, and Adhesive Operations Digital Lab under one roof.
