Interfacial Adhesion of Mussel‐Inspired Hydrogels: Interfacial Adhesion of Fully Transient, Mussel‐Inspired Hydrogels with Different Network Crosslink Modalities (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 14/2021)
Source abstract
Abstract
Fully transient, mussel-inspired hydrogels are supramolecular networks where polymers are crosslinked by reversible, metal-ligand coordination bonds. In article number 2100319, Niels Holten-Andersen, Jonathan T. Pham, and co-workers demonstrate an inverse correlation between tris- coordinate crosslinks and peak adhesive stress for hydrogels comprising either histidine-Ni2+ ion crosslinks or nitrodopamine-Fe3+ ion crosslinks. This exhibits tunability of supramolecular hydrogels for soft materials and interfacial applications.
