Currently, the soft-tissue adhesives used in clinical practice are glue-type organic
adhesives. However, there is a demand for new types of adhesives, because the current …

Nanoadhesives can achieve tight wound closure by connecting biomacromolecules from
both sides. However, previously developed adhesive systems suffered from suboptimal …

The adsorption of polymers at the surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) has
been shown to provide a versatile way to create adhesion between hydrogels or biological …

Strong anion–cation interaction in lithium-salt/ionic liquid electrolytes leads to ionic
association that decreases the Li transference number, even causing it to be negative. We …

Model hybrid hydrogels reinforced by silica nanoparticles were carefully designed to
selectively tune polymer–particle interactions while maintaining similar dispersion states of …

Over the past few decades, there have been numerous paradigm shifts in male reproductive
