Adhesives with underwater adaptive reinforcement gain new progress

wet adhesion plays an important role in fields such as mechanical engineering, marine technology and medical science. however, the presence of water molecules during solid-solid interfacial aqueous bonding can easily lead to bond failure, mainly because interfacial water hinders the contact between the adhesive and the substrate and the formation of intermolecular interactions. for the removal of interfacial water, researchers have made various attempts, such as…
