میکروب ها می توانند مواد چسبنده را از گلوکز به جای نفت تولید کنند

Microbes can produce adhesive materials from glucose instead of petroleum

KAIST researchers have demonstrated the potential of using microorganisms to produce a bio-based alternative to petroleum-derived materials for hot-melt adhesives (HMAs). These heat-activated glues are widely used in packaging, furniture, electronics and automobiles. Using Escherichia coli, the team produced a new polymer from glucose and demonstrated adhesive performance and thermal properties that support its…
