highly desirable in various fields. However, the adhesion of common adhesives is …

Water scarcity is rapidly spreading across the planet, threatening the population across the
five continents and calling for global sustainable solutions. Water reclamation is the most …

Despite recent advance in bioinspired adhesives, achieving strong adhesion and sealing
hemostasis in aqueous and blood environments is challenging. A hyperbranched polymer …

A hydrogel is a polymer material with a porous network structure, which allows the hydrogel
to swell rapidly underwater without dissolving. This unique property of hydrogels lays the …

Nature has developed protein‐based adhesives whose underwater performance has
attracted much research attention over the last few decades. The adhesive proteins are rich …

Marine mussels secret protein‐based adhesives, which enable them to anchor to various
surfaces in a saline, intertidal zone. Mussel foot proteins (Mfps) contain a large abundance …

Dynamic full-thickness skin wound healing remains an intricate problem due to the humid
environment and frequent exercise. Recently, multifunctional hydrogels have a great …

In situ hydrogels have attracted considerable attention in tissue engineering because of their
minimal invasiveness and ability to match the irregular tissue defects. However, hydrous …

Catechols are found in nature taking part in a remarkably broad scope of biochemical
processes and functions. Though not exclusively, such versatility may be traced back to …

Hydrogel adhesion inherently relies on engineering the contact surface at soft and hydrated
interfaces. Upon contact, adhesion normally occurs through the formation of chemical or …
