Polymeric materials produced from fossil fuels have been intimately linked to the
development of industrial activities in the 20th century and, consequently, to the …

Synthetic biology applies genetic tools to engineer living cells and organisms analogous to
the programming of machines. In materials synthetic biology, engineering principles from …

Polymer adhesion is ubiquitous in both the natural world and human technology. It is also a
complex multiscale phenomenon, such that the solution of adhesion problems requires a …

Mucosa is a protective and lubricating barrier in biological tissue, which has a great clinical
inspiration because of its slippery, soft, and hydrophilic surface. However, mimicking …

Appropriate deciphering and translation of sequence‐dependent function in proteins is
inspired by the cation–π interaction that is increasingly implicated in marine adhesives and …

While polysiloxanes are the most widely used interface materials for on-skin electronics,
they usually do not exhibit mechanical robustness and fast healing speed simultaneously …

The utility of unfolded structural proteins with diverse sequences offers multiple potentials to
create functional biomaterials. However, it is challenging to overcome their structural defects …

The underwater adhesive prowess of aquatic mussels has been largely attributed to the
abundant post‐translationally modified amino acid l‐3, 4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa) in …

In the last decades, adhesives derived from natural resources (ie, bioadhesives) have
emerged as promising alternative to the standard wound closure devices, including sutures …

Complex coacervation enables important wet adhesion processes in natural and artificial
systems. However, existed synthetic coacervate adhesives show limited wet adhesion …
