Man Made Adhesives using PEGs Modeled After Mussels

Marine mussels are able to adhere to a variety of surfaces in wet conditions through the byssus, a collection of tough, silky, wet fibrous strands. Researchers at UC Berkeley and Nanjing University had a goal to make man-made adhesives by mimicking the adhesion of Lysine-DOPA in marine mussels. This can help make products such as […]
