- Researchers have demonstrated that ultrasmall plant-derived crystals can be developed into a super-glue, an advance that may lead to eco-friendly and cost-effective adhesives.
- A single drop of the "eco" glue has enough strength to hold up to 90 kilogramme (kg) weight, but can still be easily removed by the touch of a finger, as needed.
- The researchers said the new glue may increase the reusability of valuable structural and decorative elements, provide new solutions for packaging applications, and lead to the development of greener adhesive solutions.
