Facile strategy of mussel-inspired polymer as a high-performance dry/wet adhesive

Mussel-inspired polymers have attracted interest due to their strong adhesion to various substrates; however, the existing synthetic methods are usually complicated and require the utilization of organic solvents. In this work, a novel mussel-inspired polyamide amine-dihydrocaffeic acid (PPCA) polymeric adhesive was designed by grafting a catechol-containing dihydrocaffeic acid (DHCA) monomer to the polyamide amine (PPC) backbone as an economic...
