Adhesion Matters pulls back the curtain on the remarkable world of adhesives—the invisible technologies quietly revolutionizing everything from smartphones and EVs to Hollywood effects and wind turbines. We guide listeners on a deep-entangled journey through innovation, sustainability, and the surprising human stories behind the products that hold our modern life together.
Adhesion Matters isn’t just about chemistry—it’s a storytelling lens on how sticky stuff shapes our world. Every episode reveals that adhesives do more than bind—they enable durability, safety, and innovation across industries. Tune in if you’re curious about the overlooked tech that really holds things together.
What if seals could be created directly on your part—no cutting, no insertion, no seams? In this episode of Adhesion Matters, we dive into Henkel’s Sonderhoff Formed-in-Place Foam Gasket (FIPFG) technology, a system that applies liquid foam directly onto components where it cures into seamless, precise, and highly resilient gaskets. We explore how polyurethane systems like FERMAPOR K31 and silicone foams like FERMASIL are transforming sealing in industries ranging from electronics enclosures ...

Sealing the Smallest Molecule: Adhesives for Hydrogen & Fuel Cells
How do you seal the most elusive molecule in the universe? In this episode of Adhesion Matters, we explore the unique role adhesives and sealants play in the hydrogen economy. From membrane–electrode assemblies (MEAs) in fuel cells to valves, pipelines, and high-pressure tanks, hydrogen’s small size creates extraordinary challenges: permeation, embrittlement, and cyclic fatigue. We highlight sealant chemistries that can stand up to these demands—including silicones, fluorosilicones, and hybr...

Sticking Safely: Medical PSAs, Biocompatibility, and ISO 10993
Why must a medical adhesive stick—and then let go—without harming the skin? In this episode of Adhesion Matters, we dig into the science—and the sticky business—behind pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) designed for everything from surgical dressings and wearables to wound care patches. We compare key chemistries—silicones, acrylics, and hydrogels—and show how each serves specific medical purposes like temperature resistance, conformability, or moisture management. We break down the ...
