Noncovalent interactions, which usually feature tunable strength, reversibility, and
environmental adaptability, have been recognized as driving forces in a variety of biological …

A hydrogel is a polymer material with a porous network structure, which allows the hydrogel
to swell rapidly underwater without dissolving. This unique property of hydrogels lays the …

Naturally inspired proteins are investigated for the development of bioglues that combine
adhesion performance and biocompatibility for biomedical applications. However …

Soy protein adhesives have aroused widespread interest as a replacement for traditional
formaldehyde synthetic resins in the wood industry. However, how to improve the poor cold …

Underwater adhesion has been the focus of many recent developments motivated by
potential biomedical applications. Although most literature on underwater adhesives has …

In nearly all cases of underwater adhesion, water molecules typically act as a destroyer.
Thus, removing interfacial water from the substrate surfaces is essential for forming super …

Bioadhesives have attracted more attention in surgery due to their easy operability and
abilities of promoting wound closure and tissue healing. However, it is still a great challenge …

Currently, uncontrolled bleeding remains a serious problem in emergency, surgical and
battlefield environments. Despite the specific properties of available hemostatic agents …

The weak internal cohesion and initial viscosity of soy protein adhesives lead to the poor
cold-pressing bonding performance of plywood preparation. This deficiency restricted the …

Most adhesives lose adhesion in the presence of water. Here, hydrophobic
perfluoropolyether (PFPE) dynamic polymers with periodically embedded hydrogen bonding …
