Numerous attempts have been made to translate mussel’s wet-adhesion to diverse synthetic platforms. However, the translation remains largely limited to the 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa) or catechol functionality, which continues to raise concerns about Dopa’s inherent susceptibility to oxidation, closely related the quality of wet-adhesion. In this talk, our approaches to how translate interfacial mussel foot proteins (mfp) will be presented as below; 1) mimic the interfacial mfp into single model polymers, 2) mimic the conceptual role of surface priming of interfacial mfp into small molecules. Inspired by this structure-function correlation, copolyampholytes, which combine the catechol functionality with amphiphilic and ionic features of mfp-3s, were synthesized, formulated as coacervates for adhesive deposition on surfaces, and enhanced wet-adhesion properties. |
