Many marine organisms attach to underwater surfaces using protein adhesives. These are
basic proteins with high levels of the amino acid 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and an …

Much has been written about the need for adhesives that bind surfaces in the presence of
water, are compatible with living tissues, and are durable yet in some applications ultimately …

This review covers the in situ molecular physicochemical characterisation of bioadhesives at
solid/liquid interfaces, with the aim of elucidating the adhesion strategies that lie at the root …

Wettability on substrates with low and high surface energies of synthetic marine and related
adhesive proteins has been investigated to evaluate the role of individual amino acids …

Biotechnological approaches to practical production of biological protein-based adhesives
have had limited success over the last several decades. Broader efforts to produce …

Many organisms, ranging from microscopic bacteria and fungi through much larger marine
algae and terrestrial vertebrates, use adhesive polymers. The performance of these …

The general topic of this review is protein‐based underwater adhesives produced by aquatic
organisms. The focus is on mechanisms of interfacial adhesion to native surfaces and …

The commercial market for adhesives is expanding and with interest focusing on novel
applications, such as bonding plastics, repairs under water biocompatible adhesive joints …

Immobilization of biomolecules onto surfaces is important in many of the biological and
physical sciences, including cell and molecular biology, analytical chemistry, and in applied …

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