New ‘Superglue’ Could Seal The Deal For Stretchable Batteries, Soft Robots

Description

Scientists have created a new kind of glue that can bond hard and soft substances to hydrogels, Jello-like materials used in everything from medical devices to soft robots. Previously, researchers in these fields used an ultraviolet light treatment, but it could take up to an hour or more to attach the surfaces together. Now, a team of experimental physicists has invented a new adhesive, made of superglue’s main ingredient plus an organic compound that diffuses into the parts being fused.
