Functional hydrogel-plastic hybrids inspired by the structural characteristics of mussels
Abstract Shellfish with rigid shells prevent damage to their delicate internal cores, and their soft bonding muscles drive the opening and closing of the shells. This synergism of rigid and soft materials provides shellfish with unique environmental adaptation. Inspired by the structural characteris...
