Nature has developed protein-based adhesives whose underwater performance has attracted much research attention over the last few decades. The adhesive proteins are rich in catechols combined with amphiphilic and ionic features. This combination of features constitutes a supramolecular toolbox, to provide stimuli-responsive processing of the adhesive, to secure strong adhesion to a variety of surfaces, and to control the cohesive properties of the material. Here, the versatile interactions used in adhesives secreted by sandcastle worms and mussels are explored. These biological principles are then put in a broader perspective, and synthetic adhesive systems that are based on different types of supramolecular interactions are summarized. The variety and combinations of interactions that can be used in the design of new adhesive systems are highlighted.
自然界已经开发出了基于蛋白质的粘合剂，其水下性能在过去几十年中引起了广泛的研究关注。这些粘合蛋白富含儿茶酚，同时具有两亲性和离子特性。这种特性的结合构成了一个超分子工具箱，可提供对粘合剂的刺激响应处理，确保对各种表面的强力粘附，并控制材料的内聚性质。本文探索了沙堡蠕虫和贻贝分泌的粘合剂中使用的多功能相互作用。然后，将这些生物原理置于更广泛的视角下，总结了基于不同类型超分子相互作用的合成粘合系统。突出显示了在设计新型粘合系统中可以使用的相互作用的多样性和组合。
