| Summary: | In modern times such as today, many technologies continue to improve at breakneck speed, and one area of technology we are looking at for this project is that of synthetic adhesives. The aim of this project is to prove the viability of using magnets as a form of temporary adhesive, and then designing a joint that allows magnets to provide a strong adhering force such that it serves as a better and more environmentally friendly means of adhesion. The investigation will be carried out based on how the magnetic adhesive strength changes with its design and seeking out the most ideal method to use these magnets as adhesives while they withstand substantial load. |
