Ultrastrong underwater adhesion on diverse substrates using non-canonical phenolic groups

Robust underwater adhesion is challenging because a hydration layer impedes the interaction between substrates and adhesives. Phenolic adhesives inspired by marine creatures such as mussels were extensively studied, but these adhesives have not reached the adhesion strength and substrate diversity o...
