In this series, ‘engineering a better world’, we speak to the Newcastle University engineers who are saving our planet and helping communities across the world.
In this episode, we talk to the team behind a new reversible glue; Dr Adriana Sierra-Romero, Research Associate; Professor Mark Geoghegan, Roland Cookson Professor of Engineering Materials and Professor Katarina Novakovic, Professor of Polymer Engineering at Newcastle University.
They have collaborated to create a water-based reversible adhesive. We discuss the creation process, development from Mark’s initial concept and how this product is set to revolutionise recycling solutions.
Find out more about the project in our From Blog: When sticky becomes unsticky – the invention of reversible glue
