The term hybrid has gained in popularity in recent years, largely thanks to the development of petrol\/electric hybrid vehicles. But the idea isn\u2019t just confined to cars. In fact, a hybrid can be any fusion of technology or techniques that\u2019s used to create a more efficient or improved product.<\/p>\n

These innovative sealants and adhesives allow materials that might not normally work well together – such as glass and concrete – to be joined successfully. For manufacturers of adhesives and sealants, hybrid techniques allow them to create specific material characteristics<\/a> that might not otherwise have been possible. Of course, this is not really new. For many years people have been experimenting with combining materials, and there are even many examples of hybrids in the natural world – things like teeth, which are made from a combination of materials, for example.<\/p>\n
