Researchers at Colorado State University and their partners have developed an adhesive polymer that is stronger than current commercially available options while also being biodegradable and reusable.

A Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researcher is developing a new class of medical adhesives by bringing together hydrogels and glue-like polymers to safely and reliably connect human tissues to ...

A new type of glue developed by researchers from MIT and Germany combines sticky polymers inspired by the mussel with the ...

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

The glue has long flexible molecules in it called polymers. These polymer molecules slide past each other as a liquid. Borax in water forms an ion called the borate ion. When the borax solution is ...

The adhesive used in bandages is commonly an acrylic polymer. What is a polymer? Polymers are very big molecules made up of many smaller molecules chemically attached together in a repeating pattern.
