Reshaping Adhesion - and the Industry

Hybrid assemblies, joints of dissimilar materials, are everywhere - in our smartphones, cars, TVs, dishwashers, in planes and so on. However, in modern products we increasingly rely on plastics, which are intrinsically hard to bond to other types of material — and by using industrial glue for the bonding the parts cannot be recy­cled easily. Solving this monumental challenge inspired the foun­dation of the Danish start-up company RadiSurf five years ago.
