The various molecular interactions of mussel foot proteins, especially the miraculous Dopa chemistry, have inspired the development of many mussel-inspired materials such as wet adhesive and functional coating by Dopa-mediated adhesion and cohesion mechanism. Efforts have thus been dominated by the simple peptide and polymer constructs containing dopamine or the catechol functional group found in dopamine. In this work, we present a mussel-inspired synthetic poly(amino acid), specially polyaspartamide, modified with catechol pendants as a strong wet adhesive for various kinds of substrate such as paper, ceramics, glass and metals. In addition to the versatile adhesiveness, this novel class of polymer glue has potential in biomedical applications including tissue adhesive and sealant due to the nontoxic and biocompatible nature of polyaspartamides. |
