Worcester Polytechnic Institute researchers are pioneering bioadhesives that adapt to tissue properties, enhancing the performance of implanted medical devices.

The adhesive that the researchers used in this study is made from cross-linked polymers called hydrogels, and is similar to a surgical tape they previously developed to help seal internal wounds.

This discount is shown at checkout, if applicable. An adhesive hydrogel whose stickiness can be turned off by shining infrared light on it could make for better bandages or allow robots to climb ...

A group of researchers from POSTECH, a leading science and technology university, has created a breakthrough injectable adhesive hydrogel. This special gel can be injected into the body ...

The newly developed hydrogel precursor comprises alginate (natural polysaccharide derived from brown algae), RGD peptide-containing mussel adhesive protein, calcium ions, phosphonodiols, and a ...
