Recent progress in synthesis and application of mussel-inspired adhesives
Open accessAbstract
The rapid and robust adhesion of marine mussels to diverse solid surfaces in wet environments is mediated by the secreted mussel adhesive proteins which are abundant in a catecholic amino acid, l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa). Over the last two decades, enormous efforts have been devoted to the development of synthetic mussel-inspired adhesives with water-resistant adhesion and cohesion properties by modifying polymer systems with Dopa and its analogues. In the present review, an overview of the unique features of various mussel foot proteins is provided in combination with an up-to-date understanding of catechol chemistry, which contributes to the strong interfacial binding via balancing a variety of covalent and noncovalent interactions including oxidative cross-linking, electrostatic interaction, metal-catechol coordination, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions and π-π/cation-π interactions. The recent developments of novel Dopa-containing adhesives with on-demand mechanical properties and other functionalities are then summarized under four broad categories: viscous coacervated adhesives, soft adhesive hydrogels, smart adhesives, and stiff adhesive polyesters, where their emerging applications in engineering, biological and biomedical fields are discussed. Limitations of the developed adhesives are identified and future research perspectives in this field are proposed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
