Marine mussels secret protein‐based adhesives, which enable them to anchor to various
surfaces in a saline, intertidal zone. Mussel foot proteins (Mfps) contain a large abundance …

Hydrogels are used for various biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility,
capacity to mimic the extracellular matrix, and ability to encapsulate and deliver cells and …

A synthetic mimic of mussel adhesive protein, dopamine-modified four-armed poly (ethylene
glycol)(PEG-D4), was combined with a synthetic nanosilicate, Laponite (Na0. 7+(Mg5. 5Li0 …

The remarkable underwater adhesion strategy employed by mussels has inspired
bioadhesives that have demonstrated promise in connective tissue repair, wound closure …

This work is devoted to the preparation of self‐adhesive microcapsules and their mechanism
of mutual sway with cotton fabrics. Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) microcapsules were …

A magnetoelastic-based (MB) sensor was employed as a novel method to monitor and
assess the degradation rate of magnesium-based artificial bone (MBAB) in vitro, which can …

Nature provides many outstanding examples of adhesive strategies from which chemists
and material scientists can draw inspiration in their pursuit of new adhesive materials …

The advantages of photo polymerization methods compared to thermal techniques are:
rapid cure reactions, low energy demands, solvent free requirements and room temperature …

The degradation behavior of a tissue adhesive is critical to its ability to repair a wound while
minimizing prolonged inflammatory response. Traditional degradation tests can be …

A critical property for tissue adhesives is a controllable degradation rate so that these
adhesives do not act as barriers to wound healing. Typical degradation tests require large …
