Phenolic Building Blocks for the Assembly of Functional Materials
TL;DR: This Review provides an overview of the diverse functional materials that can be prepared from natural and synthetic phenolic building blocks, as well as their applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent progress in synthesis and application of mussel-inspired adhesives
TL;DR: An overview of the unique features of various mussel foot proteins is provided in combination with an up-to-date understanding of catechol chemistry, which contributes to the strong interfacial binding via balancing a variety of covalent and noncovalent interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Future opportunities for bio-based adhesives – advantages beyond renewability
TL;DR: In this paper, the advantages of bio-based adhesives compared to their petroleum-based counterparts beyond their renewability are discussed. But their sustainability is rarely a sufficient argument for their commercialisation, especially if the new materials cannot be implemented as drop-in replacements for existing technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymeric Tissue Adhesives.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss a set of rational guidelines for design of adhesives, recent progress in the field along with examples of commercially available and those under development, tissue-specific considerations, and finally potential functions for future adhesive formulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated the number of major operations undertaken worldwide, described their distribution, and assessed the importance of surgical care in global public health policy, based on demographic, health, and economic data for 192 member states of the World Health Organization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioerodible hydrogels based on photopolymerized poly(ethylene glycol)-co-poly(.alpha.-hydroxy acid) diacrylate macromers
TL;DR: The amphiphilic nature of the macromers causes them to assume a micellar conformation, which enables them to undergo rapid photopolymerization, resulting in the formation of crosslinked gels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioactive modification of poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels for tissue engineering
TL;DR: This review addresses the recent progress in material designs and fabrication approaches leading to the development of bioactive hydrogels as tissue engineering scaffolds as well as exploring different approaches for introducing bioactivity into poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyphenolic Substance of Mytilus edulis: Novel Adhesive Containing L-Dopa and Hydroxyproline.
TL;DR: An acid-soluble protein was extracted and purified from the phenol gland located in the byssus-secreting foot of the fouling marine mussel, and its composition and its sticky tendencies in vitro strongly suggest that it contributes to byssal adhesion.
