For a long time, people have been interested in adapting bioadhesive materials to replace sutures and staples for sealing tissues during minimally invasive surgical procedures. There are many ...

Borrowing from the Japanese paper-cutting art of kirigami, researchers have made specially cut tape that is 10 times as sticky as uncut tape but is also easy to pull free and reuse (ACS Appl. Mater.

What if you could make adhesives both strong and easily removable? This seemingly paradoxical combination of properties could dramatically change applications in robotic grasping, wearables for health ...

Scientists have developed a smart, reusable adhesive more than ten times stronger than a gecko's feet adhesion, pointing the way for development of reusable superglue and grippers capable of holding ...

Researchers at a U.S. federal lab have transformed household plastic into a type of reusable glue that has been described as one of the toughest materials ever. Adhesives—materials that help things ...

Unlike commodity adhesive products, paper tapes are now governed by packaging engineering decisions, performance validation ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a reusable adhesive from waste polymers ...
