A new type of glue developed by researchers from MIT and Germany combines sticky polymers inspired by the mussel with the ...

To explore just that, the team took polymers inspired by the adhesive proteins found in mussel plaques and combined them with ...

Haag's group has made mussel-like adhesives, as well as mucus-inspired liquids by producing microscopic, fiber-like polymers that are similar in structure to the natural mucin proteins.
