“…Compared to other adhesives, the NIPAx adhesive in lap-shear strength, low-temperature cure, substrate versatility, ultralow-temperature tolerance, and solvent tolerance exhibits outstanding and comprehensive adhesion properties (Figure a). − ,− Moreover, we compared the lap-shear strength of NIPA 5.0 adhesive with other types of adhesives, including poly(acrylic acid) (PA), conventional PU, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and epoxy adhesive. As shown in Figure b, the lap-shear strength of the NIPAx adhesive is significantly higher than that of recently reported PA, PU, PVA, and epoxy adhesive on the substrate of steel. ,,,− Moreover, the lap-shear strength of NIPA 5.0 is close to the best example of the NIPU adhesive in the previous literature, where the NIPU adhesive is prepared via TMPTC/hexamethylene diamine/catecholamine at 100 °C for 18 h . In short, these comparisons confirm the superior and comprehensive interfacial adhesion performance of the NIPA adhesive.…”
