Electrocured tissue adhesives offer a new route towards addressing unmet surgical challenges in tissue fixation. We have recently developed an electrocuring adhesive (aka Voltaglue) by grafting carbene precursors on polyamidoamine (PAMAM) G5 dendrimers. The cationic adhesive can be cured through low...
