Polyvinyl acetate or 'PVA glue' is often associated with school projects and woodcraft activities. A key ingredient in its production might have a hidden medical superpower in cancer treatment ...

An innovative POT-PVA nanocomposite adhesive, combining polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with sub-nanoscale polyoxotungstate clusters (POTs), exhibits superior adhesion to hydrophilic surfaces, with high ...

The POTs' chaotropic effect reduces PVA crystallinity, enhancing polymer chain dynamics and conferring robust adhesive properties across a wide temperature range from −196 to 100 °C.

Hello, friends! In this video, I showed another great idea of recycling a glass jar. In this idea I showed how to make an ...

The recipe is easy: two parts white PVA glue, one part water, and two parts powdered titanium dioxide. The TiO 2 is the important part; it changes color when heated by the laser, forming a deep ...

PVA glue should now be applied in a thin layer to each surface that will be in contact with another surface, keeping the layer of glue thin enough so that the grain of the wood is still visible.
