Small-molecule ionic liquid-based adhesive with strong room-temperature adhesion promoted by electrostatic interaction
Abstract
Low-molecular-weight adhesives (LMWAs) possess many unique features compared to polymer adhesives but fabrication of LMWAs with adhesion strengths higher exceeding those of polymeric materials is a significant challenge. Here, the authors propose an ionic liquid based thin coating adhesive with high adhesion strength.
