Underwater adhesion of mussel foot protein on a graphite surface

Protein-based bioactive coatings: from nanoarchitectonics to applications

“…To overcome the challenges posed by experimental limitations and gain a more comprehensive insight into the protein adhesion mechanism at interfaces, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation emerges as a powerful and indispensable tool. 138,139 By simulating the behavior of protein molecules under varying interface conditions, molecular dynamics simulations offer a detailed and dynamic view of protein interactions. This computational approach allows for the consideration of various forces, including electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic effects, and hydrogen bonds.…”

Dynamic reversible adhesives based on crosslinking network via Schiff base and Michael addition

“…Modern functional adhesives oen face more complex application environments, which means that adhesives need increasingly complex properties and oen require multiple functions. [1][2][3][4][5] Numerous researchers have developed and prepared adhesives with underwater adhesion, [6][7][8][9][10][11] multiple substrate adhesion, [12][13][14][15][16] stretchability, 17,18 self-healing, 19 biosustainability, [20][21][22] moldability, 23 etc. However, this not only requires a more complex structure of the polymer but also means that the conditions and steps required for synthesis become more cumbersome.…”

Modified polyvinylidene fluoride ultrafiltration membrane coated with polydopamine/3‐(2,3‐epoxypropoxy) propyl triethoxy silane

“…In a weak alkaline solution, the dopamine self‐polymerizes to form polydopamine with strong adhesion and can adhere to any object surface. Using this property, hydrophilic functional groups can be introduced to improve the hydrophilic performance of the membrane 16‐18 . Silane coupling agents have similar hydrolysis kinetics and can be hydrolyzed slowly in a weak alkali environment.…”
