Abstract
Bonding is widely used in aircraft and vehicles due to its light weight and simple process, but its strength decreases sharply in hot and humid environments. Anodization treatment, used for enhancing aging performance, is environmentally harmful and unsuitable for steel. In this study, a catechol-modified epoxy adhesive (CMEA) was prepared on a hectogram scale. Comparative analysis with phenol-modified epoxy adhesive (PMEA) and pristine epoxy adhesive (EA) revealed that the underwater bonding of CMEA (13.0 MPa) on stainless steel (SS) significantly outperformed the two control groups. Moreover, after 32 days of hydrothermal aging at 50 °C, CMEA preserved 73.9% of its initial bonding strength, while PMEA and EA retained 59.8 and 11.4%, respectively. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) etching at different times to analyze the interface between adhesives and the SS substrate indicated a marked increase in the O-H/O2- value at the interface between CMEA and the SS substrate compared to the two control groups. The above results demonstrated that the catechol-modified adhesive enhanced the bonding and aging properties of the adhesive, possibly due to the formation of a higher density of hydroxyl groups at the interface between the adhesive and the SS substrate. These findings contribute to the understanding of the enhancement mechanism of catechol in improving the bonding and aging properties of adhesives and suggest a feasible direction for designing adhesives with high bonding strength and high durability.

Abstract
Achieving robust underwater adhesion remains challenging. Through generations of evolution, marine mussels have developed an adhesive system that allows them to anchor onto wet surfaces. Scientists have taken varied approaches to developing mussel-inspired adhesives. Mussel foot proteins are rich in lysine residues, which may play a role in the removal of salts from surfaces. Displacement of water and ions on substrates could then enable molecular contact with surfaces. The necessity of cations for underwater adhesion is still in debate. Here, we examined the performance of a methacrylate polymer containing quaternary ammonium and catechol groups. Varying amounts of charge in the polymers were studied. As opposed to protonated amines such as lysine, quaternary ammonium groups offer a nonreactive cation for isolating effects from only charge. Results shown for dry bonding demonstrated that cations tended to decrease bulk cohesion while increasing surface interactions. Stronger interactions at surfaces, along with weaker bulk bonding, indicate that cations decreased the cohesive forces. When under salt water, overall bulk adhesion also dropped with higher cation loadings. Surface attachment under salt water also dropped, indicating that the polymer cations could not displace surface waters or sodium ions. Salt did, however, appear to shield bulk cation-cation repulsions. These studies help to distinguish influences upon bulk cohesion from attachment at surfaces. The roles of cations in adhesion are complex, with both cohesive and surface bonding being relevant in different ways, sometimes even working in opposite directions.

Abstract
Tissue adhesives have attracted intense and increasing interest due to their multiple biomedical applications. Despite the rapid development of adhesive hydrogels, huge challenges remain for materials that can ensure strong adhesion and seal hemostasis in aqueous and blood environments. To address this issue, we have developed an innovative design of PAA-based coacervate hydrogel with strong wet adhesion capability through a simple mixture of PAA copolymers with oxidized-carboxymethylcellulose (OCMC), and tannic acid (TA) as the main components, and structurally enhanced with natural clays (Laponite XLG). The absorbed TA provides solid adhesion to dry and wet substrates via multiple interactions, which endows the XLG-enhanced coacervate with the desired underwater adhesive strength. More importantly, the dielectric constant is introduced to evaluate the polarity of the tested samples, which may be used as guidance for the design of mussel-inspired adhesives with even better underwater adhesive properties. In vivo hemorrhage experiments further confirmed that the hydrogel adhesive dramatically shortened the hemostatic time to tens of seconds. Overall, the persistent adhesion and acceptable cytocompatibility of the hydrogel nanocomposite make it a promising alternative suture-free approach for rapid hemostasis at different length scales and is expected to be extended to clinical application for other organ injuries.

Abstract
With the fast development of soft electronics, underwater adhesion has become a highly desired feature for various sensing uses. Currently, most adhesive hydrogels are based on catechol-based structures, such as polydopamine, pyrogallol, and tannic acid, with very limited structural variety. Herein, a new type of glycopolymer-based underwater adhesive hydrogel has been prepared straightforwardly by random copolymerization of acrylic acid, acetyl-protected/unprotected glucose, and methacrylic anhydride in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). By employing a DMSO-water solvent exchange strategy, the underwater adhesion was skillfully induced by the synergetic effects of hydrophobic aggregation and hydrogen bonding, leading to excellent adhesion behaviors on various surfaces, including pig skins, glasses, plastics, and metals, even after 5 days of storage in water. In addition, the underwater adhesive hydrogels with simple and low-cost protected/unprotected carbohydrate compositions showed good mechanical and rheological properties, together with cytocompatibility and antiswelling behavior in water, all of which are beneficial for underwater adhesions. In application as a flexible strain sensor, the adhesive hydrogel exhibited stable and reliable sensing ability for monitoring human motion in real time, suggesting great potential for intelligent equipment design.

Abstract
Underwater adhesive proteins secreted by organisms greatly inspires the development of underwater glue. However, except for specific proteins such as mussel adhesive protein, barnacle cement proteins, curli protein and their related recombinant proteins, it is believed that abundant common proteins cannot be converted into underwater glue. Here, we demonstrate that unfolded common proteins exhibit high affinity to surfaces and strong internal cohesion via amyloid-like aggregation in water. Using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein, we obtain a stable unfolded protein by cleaving the disulfide bonds and maintaining the unfolded state by means of stabilizing agents such as trifluoroethanol (TFE) and urea. The diffusion of stabilizing agents into water exposes the hydrophobic residues of an unfolded protein and initiates aggregation of the unfolded protein into a solid block. A robust and stable underwater glue can thus be prepared from tens of common proteins. This strategy deciphers a general code in common proteins to construct robust underwater glue from abundant biomass.

Abstract
Inspired by ocean organisms, scientists have been developing adhesives for application in the marine environment. However, water and high salinity, which not only weaken the interfacial bonding by the hydration layer but also induce the deterioration of adhesives by erosion, swelling, hydrolysis, or plasticization, are detrimental to adhesion, resulting in specific challenges in the development of under-seawater adhesives. In this focus review, current adhesives that are capable of macroscopic adhesion in seawater were summarized. The design strategies and performance of these adhesives were reviewed based on their bonding methods. Finally, some future research directions and perspectives for under-seawater adhesives were discussed.

Abstract
Block copolymers with different topologies (linear, loop, 3-armed and 4-armed polymers) containing poly(N-vinylpyrrrolidone) (PVP) antifouling blocks and terminal poly(dopamine-acrylamide) (PDAA) anchoring blocks were synthesized. These polymers can form a robust antifouling nanolayer on various surfaces. The morphologies of the polymer-modified surfaces are strongly dependent on the topologies of the polymers: with the increase of arm numbers, the morphology evolves from the smooth surface to the nanoscale coarse surface. As a result, the hydrophilicity of the coatings increases with the increase of degree of nanoscale roughness, and the 4-armed block copolymer forms a superhydrophilic surface with a water contact angle (WCA) as low as 8.7°. Accordingly, the linear diblock copolymer exhibits the worst antifouling efficiency, while the 4-armed polymer exhibits the best antifouling efficiency. This is the first example systematically showing that the antifouling efficacy could be adjusted simply by the topology of the coatings. Cell viability studies revealed that all of the copolymers exhibit excellent cytocompatibility. These biocompatible polymers with narrowly distributed molecular weight might find niches for antifouling applications in various areas such as anti-protein absorption, anti-bacterial and anti-marine fouling.

Abstract
Metal ions are ubiquitous in nature and play significant roles in assembling functional materials in fields spanning chemistry, biology, and materials science. Metal-phenolic materials are assembled from phenolic components in the presence of metal ions through the formation of metal-organic complexes. Alkali, alkali-earth, transition, and noble metal ions as well as metalloids interacting with phenolic building blocks have been widely exploited to generate diverse hybrid materials. Despite extensive studies on the synthesis of metal-phenolic materials, a comprehensive summary of how metal ions guide the assembly of phenolic compounds is lacking. A fundamental understanding of the roles of metal ions in metal-phenolic materials engineering will facilitate the assembly of materials with specific and functional properties. In this review, we focus on the diversity and function of metal ions in metal-phenolic material engineering and emerging applications. Specifically, we discuss the range of underlying interactions, including (i) cation-π, (ii) coordination, (iii) redox, and (iv) dynamic covalent interactions, and highlight the wide range of material properties resulting from these interactions. Applications (e.g., biological, catalytic, and environmental) and perspectives of metal-phenolic materials are also highlighted.

Abstract
Robust underwater adhesion is challenging because a hydration layer impedes the interaction between substrates and adhesives. Phenolic adhesives inspired by marine creatures such as mussels were extensively studied, but these adhesives have not reached the adhesion strength and substrate diversity of Man-made dry adhesives. Here, we report a class of ultrastrong underwater adhesives with molecular phenolic designs extending beyond what nature has produced. These non-canonical phenolic polymers show versatile adhesion on various materials, with adhesion strengths exceeding 10 MPa on metal. Incorporating even just a small amount (<10%) of non-canonical phenolic groups into a polymer is sufficient for dramatically enhancing underwater adhesion, suggesting that this new class of phenolic materials will be incorporated into various industrial polymer systems in the future. Realizing robust underwater adhesion is challenging because a hydration layer impedes the interaction between substrates and adhesives. Here, the authors report a class of ultrastrong underwater adhesives with molecular non-canonical phenolic groups in a polymer to realize strong adhesion on various substrates.

Abstract
Traditional adhesives with strong adhesion are widely applied in the fields of wood, building, and electronics. However, the synthesis and usage of commercial adhesives are not eco-friendly, which are harmful to human health and to the environment. In this study, a green cellulose nanofibrils/poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-dopamine methacrylamide) (CNFs/P(HEMA-co-DMA)) adhesive with excellent biocompatibility and strong bonding strength has been fabricated. P(HEMA-co-DMA) with a catechol content of 7.1 mol % was synthesized using dopamine methacrylamide and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The CNFs/P(HEMA-co-DMA) adhesive was generated by cross-linking P(HEMA-co-DMA) solution using cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). Strong adhesion was realized on various substrates, with a maximum lap shear strength of 5.50 MPa on steel. The NIH 3T3 cells test demonstrated that the adhesive possessed excellent biocompatibility. The green catechol-containing CNFs-cross-linked adhesive has promising potential for applications in medicine, electronic, food packaging, and engineering.

Abstract
Water and adhesives have a conflicting relationship as demonstrated by the failure of most man-made adhesives in underwater environments. However, living creatures routinely adhere to substrates underwater. For example, sandcastle worms create protective reefs underwater by secreting a cocktail of protein glue that binds mineral particles together, and mussels attach themselves to rocks near tide-swept sea shores using byssal threads formed from their extracellular secretions. Over the past few decades, the physicochemical examination of biological underwater adhesives has begun to decipher the mysteries behind underwater adhesion. These naturally occurring adhesives have inspired the creation of several synthetic materials that can stick underwater - a task that was once thought to be "impossible". This review provides a comprehensive overview of the progress in the science of underwater adhesion over the past few decades. In this review, we introduce the basic thermodynamics processes and kinetic parameters involved in adhesion. Second, we describe the challenges brought by water when adhering underwater. Third, we explore the adhesive mechanisms showcased by mussels and sandcastle worms to overcome the challenges brought by water. We then present a detailed review of synthetic underwater adhesives that have been reported to date. Finally, we discuss some potential applications of underwater adhesives and the current challenges in the field by using a tandem analysis of the reported chemical structures and their adhesive strength. This review is aimed to inspire and facilitate the design of novel synthetic underwater adhesives, that will, in turn expand our understanding of the physical and chemical parameters that influence underwater adhesion.

Abstract
The mussel-inspired catechol-based strategy has been widely used in the development of adhesives. However, the properties of the obtained adhesives were still severely limited in a humid environment, particularly in water. In this study, a facile and versatile approach was proposed to prepare an underwater adhesion hydrogel. First, dopamine (DA) was grafted on oxidized carboxymethylcellulose (OCMC) to obtain dopamine-grafted oxidized carboxymethylcellulose (OCMC-DA). Second, the acrylamide (AM) monomer was conjugated with OCMC-DA by a Schiff base reaction, and then polymerized to form an OCMC-DA/PAM hydrogel. The properties of the resulting hydrogel have been fully characterized. The underwater adhesion strength of the hydrogel can reach as high as 86.3 ± 7.2 kPa and reduced to 43 ± 3.4 kPa after being immersed in water for 9 days. More remarkably, we found that the maximal adhesion strength was shown when the G' and G'' of the hydrogel were very close. Moreover, we demonstrated the mechanical properties of our fabricated hydrogel by compressive tests and rheological analysis. The adhesive hydrogel also exhibits excellent biocompatibility.

Abstract
The development of functional materials based on renewable resources is of great significance in today's resource shortage. Here, we present an effective way to synthesize a mussel-inspired adhesive from acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO), a renewable and commercially available small molecular material with a molecular weight around 1200 Da, by a one-step esterification reaction with the affordable 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHA). By taking advantages of both the double bond and the catechol moiety presented in this small molecular adhesive, a short curing time was achieved with UV irradiation. An average bonding strength around 1.4 MPa at a curing time of only around 10 min on a glass substrate was observed, which reached 3.1 MPa (average 2.8 MPa) at a curing time of 2 h under ambient conditions. The curing time is much shorter, and the bonding strength is obviously stronger than the conditions where conventional oxidation agents such as IO4- or oxidation/coordination agents such as Fe3+ are used as the curing agent. Furthermore, the AESO-g-DHA can be used as an underwater adhesive, and an appreciable bonding strength up to 0.64 MPa was observed, which is superior than most of currently known commercialized glues. Given that the adhesive could be synthesized from low-cost renewable resources in one step, it might be a potential candidate for large-scale practical application.

Abstract
Marine mussels have the ability to cling to various surfaces at wet or underwater conditions, which inspires the research of catechol-functionalized polymers (CFPs) to develop high-performance adhesive materials. However, these polymeric adhesives generally face the problems of complex synthetic route, and it is still high challenging to prepare CFPs with excellent adhesive performance both at dry and underwater conditions. Herein, a mussel-inspired alternating copolymer, poly(dopamine-alt-2,2-bis(4-glycidyloxyphenyl)propane) (P(DA-a-BGOP)), is synthesized in one step by using commercially available monomers through epoxy-amino click chemistry. The incorporation of polar groups and rigid bisphenol A structures into the polymer backbone enhances the cohesion energy of polymer matrix. The alternating polymer structure endows the polymers with high catechol content and controlled polymer sequence. As a result, P(DA-a-BGOP) exhibits a strong bonding strength as high as 16.39 ± 2.13 MPa on stainless steel substrates after a hot pressing procedure and displays a bonding strength of 1.05 ± 0.05 MPa on glass substrates at an under-seawater condition, which surpasses most commercial adhesives.

Abstract
Antifouling properties of materials play crucial roles in many important applications such as biomedical implants, marine antifouling coatings, biosensing, and membranes for separation. Poly(ethylene glycol) (or PEG) containing polymers and zwitterionic polymers have been shown to be excellent antifouling materials. It is believed that their outstanding antifouling activity comes from their strong surface hydration. On the other hand, it is difficult to develop underwater glues, although adhesives with strong adhesion in a dry environment are widely available. This is related to dehydration, which is important for adhesion for many cases while water is the enemy of adhesion. In this research, we applied sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy to investigate buried interfaces between mussel adhesive plaques and a variety of materials including antifouling polymers and control samples, supplemented by studies on marine animal (mussel) behavior and adhesion measurements. It was found that PEG containing polymers and zwitterionic polymers have very strong surface hydration in an aqueous environment, which is the key for their excellent antifouling performance. Because of the strong surface hydration, mussels do not settle on these surfaces even after binding to the surfaces with rubber bands. For control samples, SFG results indicate that their surface hydration is much weaker, and therefore mussels can generate adhesives to displace water to cause dehydration at the interface. Because of the dehydration, mussels can foul on the surfaces of these control materials. Our experiments also showed that if mussels were forced to deposit adhesives onto the PEG containing polymers and zwitterionic polymers, interfacial dehydration did not occur. However, even with the strong interfacial hydration, strong adhesion between mussel adhesives and antifouling polymer surfaces was detected, showing that under certain circumstances, interfacial water could enhance the interfacial bio-adhesion. Antifouling properties of materials play crucial roles in many important applications such as biomedical implants, marine antifouling coatings, biosensing, and membranes for separation.![]()

Abstract
The blue mussel incorporates the polyphenolic amino acid l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to achieve self-healing, pH-responsiveness, and impressive underwater adhesion in the byssus threads that ensure the survival of the animal. This is achieved by a pH-dependent and versatile reaction chemistry of polyphenols, including both physical interactions as well as reversible and irreversible chemical bonding. With a short introduction to the biological background, we here review the latest advances in the development of smart materials based on the metal-chelating capabilities of polyphenols. We focus on new ways of utilizing the polyphenolic properties, including studies on the modifications of the nearby chemical environment (on and near the polyphenolic moiety) and on the incorporation of polyphenols into untraditional materials.

Abstract
When multiple intermolecular interactions occur simultaneously, complexed molecules undergo gelation by inter-cohesive bonding, inducing a pseudo-crosslinking effect to form a supramolecular gel. Among the number of substances that can induce supramolecular assembly, phenolic species such as 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (DOPA) are widely utilized for synthesizing adhesive materials. However, despite the strong adhesion capability of monomeric phenol, it lacks cohesive strength and rarely forms a supramolecular gel to secure its mechanical properties. In this study, to overcome this obstacle, we synthesized a supramolecular coacervate hydrogel by simply mixing poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and tannic acid (TA), resulting in strong cohesive interactions by virtue of the larger molecular size of TA and reinforced molecular interactions attributed to the presence of galloyl groups with a high density. We further analyzed the rheological and adhesive properties of PVP-TA coacervate hydrogels, revealing that they could exhibit not only a self-healing property, but also super adhesive properties with an average adhesion strength of 3.71 MPa on a glass substrate, which is >4 times stronger than that of conventional PVP.

Abstract
Marine organisms such as mussels have mastered the challenges in underwater adhesion by incorporating post-translationally modified amino acids like l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) in adhesive proteins. Here we designed a catechol containing elastomer adhesive to identify the role of catechol in interfacial adhesion in both dry and wet conditions. To decouple the adhesive contribution of catechol to the overall adhesion, the elastomer was designed to be cross-linked through [2 + 2] photo-cycloaddition of coumarin. The elastomer with catechol moieties displayed a higher adhesion strength than the catechol-protected elastomer. The contact interface was probed using interface-sensitive sum frequency generation spectroscopy to explore the question of whether catechol can displace water and bond with hydrophilic surfaces. The spectroscopy measurements reveal that the maximum binding energy of the catechol and protected-catechol elastomers to sapphire substrate is 7.0 ± 0.1 kJ/(mole of surface O-H), which is equivalent to 0.10 J/m2. The higher dry and wet adhesion observed in the macroscopic adhesion measurements for the catechol containing elastomer originates from multiple hydrogen bonds of the catechol dihydroxy groups to the surface. In addition, our results show that catechol by itself does not remove the confined interstitial water. In these elastomers, it is the hydrophobic groups that help in partially removing interstitial water. The observation of the synergy between catechol binding and hydrophobicity in enabling the mussel-inspired soft adhesive elastomer to stick underwater provides a framework for designing materials for applications in tissue adhesion and moist-skin wearable electronics.
