Optimized adhesives drawn from nature
Filed in archive Research by george elvin on January 16, 2007

I invite you to read about optimized adhesives from abalone and spider silk at GreenTechBlog.
There I explore how researchers have found an optimized adhesive contained in bone, abalone shells and spider silk that could be used in "glues" for nanocomposite materials. Their work could lead to a new class of adhesives that far exceed current ones like urea formaldehyde, which is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the EPA.
