This project explores the unique properties of catch bonds found in nature, aiming to replicate their behavior in synthetic materials. By integrating bacterial adhesive mechanisms into bio-based polymers, the research seeks to create adaptable materials for applications in synthetic organs and disease modeling.
Catch bonds are one of Nature’s truly remarkable designs, which exhibit increased adhesive force as tensile force is applied, in contrast to traditional slip bonds whose adhesive force decreases under similar conditions.
On reaching a maximum applied force, the catch bond then reverts to traditional slip bond behaviour resulting in a catch-and-roll type action that bacteria and cells use to move in a targeted fashion along a particular surface.
The current research project aims to transplant thi…
