In a study published in Advanced Materials, researchers at Aalto University, the University of Tokyo, Sichuan University, and the University of British Columbia have demonstrated that plant-derived cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can form an adhesive that fully integrates the concepts of sustainability, performance, and cost which are generally extremely challenging to achieve simultaneously.Unlike Superglue, the new eco glue develops its full strength in a preferred direction, similar to "Peel and Stick" adhesives. When trying to separate the glued components along the principal plane of the...…In a study published in Advanced Materials, researchers at Aalto University, the University of Tokyo, Sichuan University, and the University of British Columbia have demonstrated that plant-derived cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can form an adhesive that fully integrates the concepts of sustainability, performance, and cost which are generally extremely challenging to achieve simultaneously.Unlike Superglue, the new eco glue develops its full strength in a preferred direction, similar to "Peel and Stick" adhesives.
