First of all thank you for an excellent question.According to your concern,the nanoglue is made of 400-nanometer-wide silicone pillars covered with a polymer that mimics the adhesive proteins found in mussels of geckos feet. Nanoglue can sustain its stickyness under water.In addition to bandages, the new material could be used in drug-delivery patches and in adhesive tapes to close surgical wounds.
hello, nanoglue is an inorganic binding agent to improve the interconnectivity of nanoparticles at temperature less than 150 oC. This nanoglue consists of an ethanol dispersion of pure anatase TiO2 nanoparticles of approximately 5 nm in diameter, which is the key material for the preparation of well-interconnected nanoparticles, especially TiO2 at low temperature for flexible photovoltaics. Surface of nanoglue particles are full of with abundant surface hydroxyl groups, which facilitates the preparation of viscous titania paste without adding any organic binder that could be not removed totally with low temperature process. When mixed with TiO2 particles of a few tens of nanometers in diameter, the nanoglue induced interparticle chemical bridging via the condensation of hydroxyl groups on the surfaces of the TiO2 particles, accompanied by the release of water molecules, when sintered at low temperature (around 150 oC). This dehydration process enhanced interparticle connection, resulting in facilitated electron transport in the film. for more information, please refer to APL paper at http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/apl/98/10/10.1063/1.3562030
