Tunable Adhesion for Bio-Integrated Devices

摘要: With the rapid development of bio-integrated devices and tissue adhesives, tunable adhesion to soft biological tissues started gaining momentum. Strong is desirable when used efficiently transfer vital signals or as wound dressing repair, whereas weak needed for easy removal, it also essential step enabling repeatable use. Both physical chemical properties (e.g., moisture level, surface roughness, compliance, chemistry) vary drastically from skin internal organ surfaces. Therefore, important strategically design adhesive specific applications. Inspired largely by remarkable found in several animal species, effective strategies such structural novel material synthesis were explored yield adhesives match even outperform their natural counterparts. In this mini-review, we provide a brief overview recent with focus on applications toward adhesives.
