Controlling mechanical properties of bio-inspired hydrogels by modulating nano-scale, inter-polymeric junctions
Quinone tanning is a well-characterized biochemical process found in invertebrates, which produce diverse materials from extremely hard tissues to soft water-resistant adhesives. Herein, we report new types of catecholamine PEG derivatives, PEG-NH-catechols that can utilize an expanded spectrum of c...
