“Hyper glue” adhesive forges new bonds at the molecular level to permanently adhere difficult-to-bond polymers.
XlynX Materials (Victoria, B.C., Canada) has announced the creation of a new class of adhesives they are calling “molecular glues.” These make it possible to permanently adhere difficult-to-bond polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene to themselves, and to other materials, through exceptionally strong chemical bonds.
