In the animal kingdom, mussels are experts at adhesion underwater. The gluey plaque that marine mollusks secrete through their feet helps them cling to rocks and ship bottoms while the waves are at ...

The double-network copolymer is designed so that once put in the desired location it soaks up moisture and provides a dry interface for its bioadhesive properties. In addition, the resulting ...

Now, a newly developed soft hydrogel-based Bioadhesive Interface for Marine Sensors, referred to as BIMS, holds promise as an effective, rapid, versatile, and non-invasive method to tag and track ...

Highly acidic, pectin-like polysaccharides show exhibit high bioadhesive activity against epithelial human tissue, especially against GUT tissue (buccal and colonic mucosa). These bioadhesive polymer ...

Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Freie Universität Berlin have created a new kind of glue that combines the germ-proof qualities of mucus, a natural substance, with ...
