The Superglue Made Out Of Water

Hydrogel superglue was produced for the marine environment and inspired by organisms that fix themselves to underwater surfaces, like mussels.

MIT engineers have developed a method to make synthetic, sticky hydrogel that is more than 90 percent water.

Adhesion was largely thanks to the electrostatic interaction between positively charged residues on the polymers and the negatively charged surfaces.

The hydrogel, which is a transparent, rubber-like material, can adhere to surfaces with a toughness comparable to the bond between tendon and cartilage on bone.

Development continues and the results will be with us in the near future.
