Episode: New Glue Fuses Art & Science @ Akron U
Description: 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.
