  • ADHESIVES
    Publication number: 20240166786
    Abstract: The invention relates to biomimetic adhesive compositions emulating mussel adhesive proteins, wherein multiple chains of a copolymer are interlinked via specific hydrogen bonds and/or ligand-metal-ligand bonds, which serve as sacrificial breakable bonds upon mechanical stress and thereby effectively dissipate the mechanical energy. Accordingly, toughened adhesive compositions with improved ductility and strength may be obtained.
    Type: Application
