Hot-melt adhesives (HMAs) are thermoplastic materials that can bond various substrates by solidifying rapidly upon cooling from the molten state, and their modification with organosilicon compounds can result in crosslinking behavior, characteristic of gels. Organosilicon compounds are hybrid molecules that have both inorganic and organic components and can enhance the properties and performance of HMAs. The gel aspect of HMA with and without organosilicon modifiers can be considered in organosilicon-modified systems, the modifiers are often either sol–gel condensation products or their mechanism of action on the adherent surface can be considered of sol–gel type. The purpose of this manuscript is to present the current state of the art on the formulation, characterization, and application of HMAs and optimize their performance with organosilicon compounds for application in various industries such as automotive, construction, and photovoltaics. This review covers articles published within the period of 2018–2022. The article is divided into sections, in which information about hot-melt adhesives is described at the beginning. The following part of the presented review focuses on the composition of hot-melt adhesives, which takes into account the use of organosilicon compounds. The last part of this review outlines the future trends in hot-melt adhesives.

This paper describes a highly nonlinear flint glass-based honeycomb photonic crystal fiber (FGH-PCF) with a wavelength of 1550 nm. The PCF's distinctive honeycomb lattice structure, combined with the nonlinear capabilities of flint glass, enables a wide range of nonlinear optical applications. To adjust the PCF's dispersion and nonlinear effects, numerical simulations and optimization approaches were used. To achieve maximum performance, fabrication procedures were carefully regulated. Dispersion values of −436.6 ps/(nm.km) for x polarization and −448.1 ps/(nm.km) for y polarization were verified by experimental characterization. The PCF displayed low confinement losses of 2.289 dB/cm (x polarization) and 4.935 dB/cm (y polarization), as well as birefringence of 2.202×10-3. The PCF measured 558.8 and 547.9 W-1km-1 for x and y polarization respectively indicating a high nonlinear coefficient. The highly nonlinear flint glass-based honeycomb PCF shows promising potential for nonlinear optical applications such as four-wave mixing, super-continuum generation, frequency conversion, and parametric amplification. This research paves the way for compact and efficient nonlinear devices in modern optical communication systems and other cutting-edge technologies.
