INTRODUCTION
High-performance polyurethane and silicone sealant technologies are combined to create hybrid sealants.
Through the use of these technologies, a hybrid sealant is produced that combines the exceptional weather resistance and paintability of silicone sealants with the strength and paintability of polyurethane sealants.
The majority of hybrid sealants either contain very small levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or none at all, making it possible to employ them without significantly disrupting the operations of odor-sensitive buildings including hospitals, schools, and businesses.
VOC laws are becoming more and stricter every year. The development of this new technology has been influenced in part by the issuance of VOC limitations by new states as well as the expansion of existing limitations’ regulatory spheres and the issuance of more stringent restrictions for already-existing product categories by existing states.
The Global Hybrid Sealant Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
A versatile, high-performance sealant is hybrid sealant. Hybrid sealants, which combine silicone and polyurethane technology, are mostly utilised in the construction sector and have strong temperature resistance.

Sensing-triggered stiffness-tunable smart adhesives. In challenging applications as alien manipulation in a hostile space environment or for operating ultrathin/fragile/dust-free silicon wafers, bioinspired dry adhesives have unmatched technological benefits.
This may be due to the special properties of dry adhesives, which can overcome the application bottleneck of standard operating tactics by offering high adhesion, good stability, environmental adaptability, and no harm or contamination to the target surface.
For instance, sucking with negative pressure may readily result in stress concentrations, and mechanical clamping necessitates the design of target items to match.
Significant advancements have been achieved in dry adhesives over the past 20 years in the areas of attachment/detachment control techniques, adhesive devices or systems, and interface action mechanisms (geometrical forms, material mechanical properties, etc.).
The use of artificial dry adhesives in robots has shown considerable promise. However, there is still a significant difference between bio-inspired adhesives and living tissues, particularly in terms of the plasticity of the surface and the capacity to switch between attachment and detachment.
As opposed to the conventional biomimetic adhesive technique, which primarily focuses on structural geometry, a sensing-triggered stiffness-tunable smart adhesive material combines the functionalities of muscle tissues and sensory neurons.
Conformal contact, shape locking, and active releasing are accomplished by modifying the stiffness depending on the magnetorheological effect, which is authorised by real-time sensing of the interface contact state.
A millisecond-level attachment/detachment reaction is effectively obtained thanks to the quick switching of the magnetic field, breaking the adhesive materials’ bottleneck for high-speed manipulation. Any toe’s surface structure can benefit from the creative design, which creates a new path for the creation of adhesive materials.
