A Sticky Solution: Barnacle-Inspired Coacervate Achieves Universal Underwater Adhesion
Robust adhesion to wet, lipid-rich, and hydrated surfaces has long been a major challenge in materials science and chemistry. A new study in Nature Chemistry reports a breakthrough inspired by barnacle biology: a dilution-resistant coacervate that superspreads and infiltrates such difficult interfaces. This material’s unique behavior enables it to form a strong, universal bond underwater, overcoming the limitations of conventional adhesives that fail in aqueous environments.
