Urea reaction
« on: February 02, 2017, 01:06:57 AM »
I am trying to understand the reactivity of urea. I'm wanting to find an adhesive compound that is hydrophobic and a solution of water and urea will release the adhesion.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

There are tables for this sort of thing, but ...

this conclusion is contrary to the premise above.  A water solution won't interact with a hydrophobic surface.

and urea will release the adhesion. 

I don't see how that will help.

I can't tell if you're just stringing things together at random, or if you're building on something you didn't mention.  You may have to write more completely.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
