Biomimetic mussel technology for membrane material modification: Adhesion mechanism and design strategy

Abstract

In recent years, there has been increasing interest among scientists in the research and development of mussel biomimetic membrane technology, owing to the unique advantages of mussel foot silk protein. This article provides a concise overview of the development of biomimetic mussel technology and its innovative approach to modifying membrane materials. The remarkable adhesion and suitability of mussel bionics can effectively enhance the physical and chemical structure of the substrate surface in membrane materials, and serve as a platform for subsequent post‐functionalization, offering endless possibilities for the advancement of membrane materials.
