The adhesive is the product of joint development by Prof. Hana Dodiuk and Prof. Shmuel Koenig, from the Department of Plastics and Polymer Engineering at Shenkar Engineering and Prof. Rashef Tana from the Weizmann Institute
A joint development by "Shanker Engineering" and the Weizmann Institute of Science is expected to bring about a revolution in the aerospace industry: researchers who enriched epoxy adhesives with tungsten-sulfide particles were able to change the internal structure of the epoxy adhesive and produce an adhesive that was twice as strong
Technological nano-particles developed by the Israeli researcher, Prof. Rashef Tana from the Weizmann Institute of Science, from tungsten-sulfide are bringing about a revolution in the adhesive industry.
Research student Mark Schneider, under the guidance of Prof. Hana Dodiuk and Prof. Shmuel Koenig, from the Department of Plastics and Polymer Engineering at "Shankar Engineering", used nanoparticles developed by Prof. Reshef and succeeded in producing an epoxy glue, which was twice as strong.
The joint research conducted by Shenkar with Prof. Tana from the Weizmann Institute on the application of tungsten-sulfide particles in the super glue industry was a success, when the researchers from Shenkar were able to incorporate tungsten-sulfide particles at a rate of half a percent into the glue, thereby causing a change in the internal structure of the epoxy glue, and obtaining a double-strength glue .
The innovative development, achieved as part of the chief scientist's NES project (Magnet program), will be presented by Mark Schneider at the seventh international conference on nanotechnology in the plastics and polymers industry, which will be held in Shenkar on February 6.2.
"Dual strength adhesives will provide new capabilities to engineers in all industries, and especially in the aerospace industry, where strong structural adhesives are an extremely important component" says Prof. Shmuel Koenig, Head of the Faculty of Engineering at Schenker - "This "adhesive breakthrough" can pave the way mainly for Aerospace engineers, who will be able in the future
The adhesive will be presented at the 7th International Conference for Nanotechnology Applications in the Plastics and Rubber Industry
which will be held this coming Monday at the Shankar College in Ramat Gan. Prof. Rashef Tana is also co-chairman of the conference Nano Israel 2012.

How do such adhesives actually work physically?
When did it go on the market?
The glue is great for politicians, they will glue their butt to the chair permanently.
Thanks for the comment Nicholas.
It looks more like an advertisement for glue than a scientific article.
The first, third and fourth paragraphs all end with "double strength"
"A revolution in the adhesive industry"
And "double strength adhesives will give new capabilities to engineers in all fields"
There is more advertising here than science, the article could have been shortened to a third of its length, which is already short.
