Recyclable glue bonds underwater in seconds and holds for yearsWorldPing

Most glues need a dry surface to stick properly. Bonding materials underwater is challenging because water forms a thin film on any surface, so instead of an adhesive touching a material directly, it touches a layer of water, which weakens the bond.

This is a short WorldPing brief. The full report was published by Phys.org.
