‘Gluing’ soft materials without glue | Headline Science
If you’re a fan of arts and crafts, you’re likely familiar with the messy, sticky, frustration-inducing nature of liquid glues. But researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces now have a brand-new way to weld squishy stuff together without the need for glue at all. They’ve demonstrated a universal, “electroadhesion” technique that can adhere soft materials to each other just by running electricity through them.
“Universal Way to “Glue” Capsules and Gels into 3D Structures by Electroadhesion” - Srinivasa R. Raghavan, Ph.D. (corresponding author)
