NTU Singapore scientists develop a smart, reusable adhesive that sticks on various surfaces NTUsg 2024-04-29 | Stick with us on this: A new #adhesive device could bring us one step closer to climbing walls like Spider-Man. #NTUsg scientists have created a smart adhesive device by using shape-memory #polymers, which can stick and detach easily simply by heating and cooling them. These polymers can 'remember' their previous shapes and return to them after being transformed or deformed.The polymers are designed into an array of hair-like fibrils of about 0.5mm to 3mm each to maximise the adhesive ability. A palm-sized array of 37 fibrils, weighing about 30gm, could hold up to 60kg of weight. The scientists are currently working on reducing the amount of time needed for the device to cool and stick. Future applications for the device include being used in #climbing devices such as gloves and boots.

Fabulous new RoboFabric could be used in medical devices and soft robotics NTUsg 2024-07-18 | Think of the scales of a #pangolin or #armadillo, interlocking to form a hard, protective shell. Scientists at NTU Singapore have adapted the same concept into a new #wearable #fabric that is flexible but can stiffen on demand.The material, called RoboFabric, consists of #3D printed tiles connected by metal fibres. The fibres can be contracted which causes the tiles to interlock, stiffening the RoboFabric. This innovation could be used to make flexible #medical devices, such as elbow and wrist supports, as well as flexible attachments for #drones that can operate as grippers or landing gear.

This cool invention recycles old plastics into paint that can reduce surface temperatures NTUsg 2024-06-06 | You're not just watching paint dry; Scientists from NTU Singapore have created a new method of #recycling #plastics like acrylic, PVC and polystyrene foam into a paint that can cool surfaces by mixing it with barium sulphate.This #innovative paint makes use of passive radiative cooling, which sends heat from objects on Earth into outer space through a "window" in the atmosphere that allows certain wavelengths of heat to pass through, while reflecting most sunlight.When tested in real-world conditions on the rooftops of the #NTUsgSmartCampus, the paint reduced the surface temperature to 1.2°C below ambient temperature during the day, and 3°C below ambient temperature at night, helping to mitigate the effects of #climatechange while boosting #sustainability efforts.https://ntu.sg/CoolingPaint#NTUsgInnovation #NTUsgSustainability #NTUsgResearch #NTUsg2025
