Underwater adhesive or "superglue" for construction bonding application

相似和不同材料部件的有效粘接和/或连接是制造和施工技术最关键的技术先决条件之一。受斑马贻贝、藤壶和蠕虫等生物体内优异的海洋粘合剂的启发，我们发明了一种独特的合成水下粘合剂或强力胶，可以在潮湿或水下条件下有效工作。根据2012年11月27日提交的完整专利申请和最近于2014年进行的市场评估，我们建议推进这项技术，并将其转变为一种创新的粘合剂产品，用于建筑行业，如a)低坡屋顶系统；b)地板混凝土防潮系统；以及c)基础防水系统，这些系统都需要一定程度的防水或微调。该项目将专注于解决当前发明的技术障碍(如稳定性、固化速度、可交付性和保质期)，并制造市场就绪的原型以促进技术和吸引早期投资，微调技术以满足特定的工业需求，以及粘合剂的大规模生产。

The effective adhesion and/or joining of similar and dissimilar material components is one of the most critical technical prerequisites for manufacturing and construction technologies. Inspired by superior marine adhesives in such biological organisms as zebra mussels, barnacle and castle worms, we have invented a unique synthetic underwater adhesives or superglue, which can work effectively in wet or underwater conditions. Based on the full patent application filed on November 27th, 2012 and a recent Market Assessment in 2014, we propose to advance this technology and turn it into an innovative adhesive product for applications in construction industries as a) low slope roofing systems; b) concrete moisture mitigation systems for flooring; and c) foundation waterproofing systems where all require a level of waterproofing or tuning. The project will focus on solving the technical hurdles (such as stability, curing rate, deliverability, and shelf-life) of the current invention and fabricating a market-ready prototype to promote the technology and attract early stage investments, fine-tuning the technology to meet specific industrial need, and the mass production of the adhesive.
