Electric Current
The material produced in this protocol is an adhesive gel. This gel is reversible if the polarity of the voltage is switched. Thus, if a positive voltage is applied to the electrode that had a negative voltage previously, the gel will begin to form on the newly positive electrode and the gel that had formed earlier will begin to disassemble. Due to the reversible nature of this gel, it can be used in applications where it is advantageous to have tunable adhesion.
