Art conservators at museums worldwide had a very sticky problem, and the University of Akron had the solution.

It’s called “Beva 371 Akron“, and is a new type of adhesive developed by polymer scientists to help preserve old, fragile paintings.

Listen now to my conversation with Professor Dr. Ali Dhinojwala, who is the W. Gerald Austen Endowed Chair and H.A. Morton Professor
at the University of Akron’s School of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering, to find out why their innovative and less toxic adhesive is indeed a very “super” glue, that is picture perfect for the world of art.
