Magnetically-activated epoxy bonds fast using a fraction of the energy

New Atlas   -   Scientific News Websites

Ordinarily, epoxies are cured by exposure to either heat or ultraviolet light. Both have their drawbacks, which are nicely avoided by a new epoxy that hardens when passed through a magnetic field.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: N...
