The adhesion of hydrogels has attracted substantial attention for use in building three-dimensional constructs such as scaffolds for cell culture, carriers of drug release system and soft actuators. This review article summarizes our group's research on electrophoretic hydrogel adhesion, a novel strategy for the adhesion of hydrogels. This technique involves the electrophoretic manipulation of a polyelectrolyte to form an adhesive layer at the interface of the two hydrogels and is a powerful method for fabrication of free-form hydrogel constructs through the adhesion of microgels.
