recyclable αLA polymer adhesivesBerkeley Engineering

Berkeley engineers have created a new family of stabilized LA polymer adhesives by slightly altering the chemical composition of their monomers.
Using this “modular monomer system,” they tailored the properties of the polymers to create adhesive for medical, consumer and industrial applications, including a surgical superglue that could significantly advance the field of fetal surgery.
The new LA polymers also provide an environmentally friendly adhesive option.
The researchers created an epoxy-like structural adhesive by adding calcium lipoate, a salt of LA , to give the normally soft, elastic LA polymers rigidity and strength.
Stabilized LA polymer pressure-sensitive adhesives also offer circular economy advantages.
They can be recycled in what is known as a closed-loop system.
