Revolutionizing Soft Robotics with Gluing Technology
In a breakthrough study, researchers have developed a way to glue soft materials with no heat or pressure. This could open up a whole new world of possibilities for creating and constructing with delicate materials, such as fabrics and plastics. The researchers were able to glue these soft materials together by creating a special type of glue that is composed of tiny particles with positive and negative charges. By exposing the particles to an electric field, the glue forms a strong bond between the materials without the need for heat or pressure. This could have a huge impact on the way we make, design, and use soft materials, from clothing to medical devices.
