Abstract
Corn zein is a nontoxic protein that has found use in adhesive and coating materials for pharmaceutical, biomedical, and food applications. The degradability and amphiphilic properties of zein are attractive for materials design. Unmodified zein polymers, however, have drawbacks when it comes to adhesive strength, water resistance, and wet adhesion. Here, compositions of zein plus plant-based phenolics including catechol, tannic acid, juglone,...
