“…The environmental concern of oil-containing adhesives has stimulated the development of green and eco-friendly adhesives whose synthesis and application generate minimized or neglected environmental pollution. − In this scenario, much effort has been devoted to the fabrication of water-based adhesives consisting of water-soluble or water dispersed polymers/nanoobjects. ,, Typical examples include water-based adhesives of supramolecular complexes, , complex coacervates, − well-aligned cellulose nanocrystals, , stitching polymers enabling topological adhesion, , and so forth . Of particular interest is that these adhesives can realize reversible adhesion, , anisotropic adhesion, and adhesion of wet materials such as tissues and hydrogels. ,− ,− Despite these achievements, the practical application of water-based adhesives requires overcoming problems such as relatively lower adhesion strength than oil-containing adhesives, tedious preparative process, and the use of expensive and environmental unfriendly chemicals in their synthesis. ,, …”
