This research investigates the underwater adhesion mechanisms of the brown macroalgae Fucus vesiculosus. By analyzing its adhesive properties and formation processes, the project aims to inspire the development of new synthetic underwater adhesives for various applications.
Many marine organisms of the intertidal zone like mussels, barnacles and various algae must form strong attachments to the substrate in their environment in order to resist forces of crashing waves.
Therefore, they evolved high-performance underwater adhesives which are able to stick to various surface chemistries - a feat unmatched by current glues on the market.
Understanding the chemistry and formation process of these adhesives has great potential for the development of synthetic underwater…
