A mussel-inspired adhesive based on a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) backbone shows a
much higher bonding strength under underwater/seawater conditions than under dry …

Polydopamine (PDA) was spontaneously coated on acid treated MWCNT or pristine
MWCNT surface via oxidative polymerization. The effect of PDA modified MWCNT hybrids …

The development of functional materials based on renewable resources is of great
significance in today's resource shortage. Here, we present an effective way to synthesize a …

Although the role of 3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (DOPA) in mussel foot proteins (mfps) in
the realization of underwater bonding has been widely recognized, the role of the polarity of …

Many factors govern the underwater adhesion of mussels, among which the synergic effect
of charged amino group and catechol moiety in mussel foot-byssus proteins has been …

Lignin is a renewable feedstock that is abundant and inexpensive but still presents
challenges for its valorization. In this work, we converted functionalized lignin into broad …
