Publication Abstract

That sticky residue left behind when a piece of electrical tape is removed─no more! In this issue of ACS Central Science, Dobrynin, Sheiko, and co-workers describe novel pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) through the architectural engineering of bottlebrush polymers. These new adhesives are additive-free, meaning they do not leave behind a residue after debonding, typical of many commercial pressure-sensitive adhesives.
