Professor Changhyun BANG (School of Chemical Engineering) was selected as the “Scientist of the Month” in April for developing a sucker-imitated high adhesive patch.
Prof BANG has proven that the sucker of an octopus increases absorptive power even in the water and applied this discovery to develop a new patch material that can stick in any environment. The sucker-imitated patch showed high adhesiveness in water, on the surface of glass inside silicon oil, soggy skin and other various environments.
The “Scientist of the Month” award is co-managed by Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Research Foundation of Korea. The awardees receive 10 million Won as a reward.
