Description

Mussel-Inspired Bioadhesive Hydrogel (Catechol-Functionalized System) is engineered using catechol-containing functional groups (e.g., dopamine derivatives) that mimic the adhesive proteins found in mussels. These functional groups enable strong and versatile adhesion to a wide range of surfaces, including biological tissues, metals, oxides, and polymers—even under wet conditions.

The material forms robust interfacial interactions through hydrogen bonding, coordination, and covalent bonding mechanisms. It is highly suitable for applications requiring stable attachment in challenging environments. Adhesion strength, curing behavior, and mechanical properties can be tuned through polymer composition and catechol density.
