Pressure-sensitive adhesives are a category of adhesives that form a bond with the substrate on the application of slight pressure. They provide a strong and durable bond for lightly loaded applications. Pressure-sensitive adhesives are used in a wide range of applications - from automotive to medical and general industrial applications. The four major types of pressuresensitive adhesives include: water-based, solvent-based, hot melt, and radiation-cured.
Advancements in hydrogen (H2) membrane separation are critical to allow the development of a viable H2 economy based on coal/biomass processing with CO2 capture. United Technologies Research Center (UTRC), in collaboration with Power+Energy, Inc. (P+E) and the Energy & Environmental Research Center at the University of North Dakota (EERC), therefore proposed to demonstrate palladium (Pd) based membrane separation of H2 from coal-derived syngas at the pre-engineering/pilot scale.
