Supramolecular adhesive with usable temperature range of 400 degrees Celsius

Researchers have developed a supramolecular adhesive that is recyclable and has outstanding gluing properties across a wide range of temperatures, from liquid nitrogen (−196 degrees Celsius) up to oven-hot temperatures (200 degrees Celsius). As the team report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, the adhesive got its efficiency from an exceptionally tight interlocking of the molecular components during curing.
