The adhesion of some marine organisms to almost any kind of surface in wet conditions has
aroused increasing interest in recent decades. Numerous fundamental studies have been …

Marine mussels secret protein‐based adhesives, which enable them to anchor to various
surfaces in a saline, intertidal zone. Mussel foot proteins (Mfps) contain a large abundance …

Water and adhesives have a conflicting relationship as demonstrated by the failure of most
man-made adhesives in underwater environments. However, living creatures routinely …

Nature employs sophisticated control of a structure's properties at multiple length scales to
achieve its wet adhesion. However, the translation of such structures has very often been …

Adhesive hydrogels have broad applications in tissue adhesives, hemostatic agents, and
biomedical sensors. Various bio‐inspired glues and synthetic adhesives are clinically used …
