Adhesives used in many industries work well, but often folks are always looking for better and faster acting adhesives. Often adding heat assists in quicker bonding of materials. Yet we know that with lasers and certain temperatures and times we can actually change the molecular structure of the both the adhesive and the material we are attempting to adhere to. This means by using lasers on alloys at proper temperatures we can strengthen the weld combining the parts and actually make the seam stronger than either of the alloys by its self. But using lasers to weld or in conjunction with adhesives is something new isnt it? Indeed it is, but consider using molecules of CO2, Argon, trapped in adhesive strips of nanotube construction and then placing it where you wish to apply adhesive and then hitting the whole thing along the seam with a high-energy, high powered laser which super heats the material in micro fractions of a second and then turns off and cools quickly. Such techniques in robotic factories could strengthen hulls in ships, space ships, pipelines, aircraft and even automobiles. Consider for a moment stronger bridges, buildings, bicycles and bonded materials. Everything could be made faster, stronger, more efficient and flawlessly. No human error, no more bad welds; only perfect and seamless quality? Want some of that? Me too, all you got for everything I own? Structural failure could be a thing of the past. So, consider all this in 2006. |
