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

Realizing robust underwater adhesion is challenging because a hydration layer impedes the interaction between substrates and adhesives. Here, the authors report a class of ultrastrong underwater adhesives with molecular non-canonical phenolic groups in a polymer to realize strong adhesion on various...
