Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) are developing a new class of medical adhesives by combining hydrogels and glue-like polymers. These adhesives aim to securely and reliably bond ...

Bee-derived materials like honey and propolis show promise in wound healing, with polymeric films exhibiting key ...

The Shanghai researchers tackled this challenge by creating a material that occupies a middle ground between a hydrogel and a sponge. Their "hydro-sponge," called CPPY, consists of carboxymethyl ...

If you need to use them daily or want them to last longer, maybe look into additional adhesive options or other products that could work better for you. In short, these bunion cushions should stay put ...

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 ...
