Catechols play an important role in many natural systems. They are known to readily interact
with both organic (eg, amino acids) and inorganic (eg, metal ions, metal oxides) compounds …

Polymeric membranes are widely applied in water and wastewater treatment. During
membrane filtration, membrane hydrophilicity is essential for both membrane flux and …

A hydrogel for potential applications in wound dressing should possess several peculiar
properties, such as efficient self-healing ability and mechanical toughness, so as to repair …

The glue proteins secreted by marine mussels bind strongly to virtually all inorganic and
organic surfaces in aqueous environments in which most adhesives function poorly. Studies …

Mussels adhere to a variety of surfaces by depositing a highly specific ensemble of 3, 4-
dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine (DOPA) containing proteins. The adhesive properties of Mytilus …

Mussels use a variety of 3, 4‐dihydroxyphenyl‐l‐alanine (DOPA) rich proteins specifically
tailored to adhering to wet surfaces. Synthetic polypeptide analogues of adhesive mussel …

The byssus is a holdfast structure that allows the marine mussel (Mytilus) to adopt a sessile
mode of life even in the most wave-swept habitats. The success of byssus as an adaptation …

Mussels have a remarkable ability to attach their holdfast, or byssus, opportunistically to a
variety of substrata that are wet, saline, corroded, and/or fouled by biofilms. Mytilus edulis …

Controlling biointerfacial phenomena is crucial to the success of many biomedical
technologies. For applications in biosensing, diagnostics, and medical devices, precise …

In the present study, a novel synthetic tissue adhesive material capable of sealing wounds
without the use of any crosslinking agent was developed by conjugating thermosensitive …
