Abstract:The feasibility of deactivating and
reactivating a catechol-containing
smart adhesive electrochemically while in direct contact with a nonconductive
surface was explored in this work. The adhesive was coated over an
aluminum mesh-attached poly(dimethylsiloxane) (AM-PDMS) substrate.
The aluminum mesh served as an electrode to apply electricity through
the adhesive. A silver (Ag) counter electrode was coated in the periphery
of the adhesive–substrate interface to deactivate the adhesive
attached to the nonconduc… Show more
An SHAM-containing adhesive was combined with PVDF to form a novel structural adhesive. SHAM provides interfacial bonding capability while PVDF increases cohesion through hydrogen bonding with the adhesive polymer backbone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
