Background

Polysaccharide-based adhesives hold promise for wet tissue repair, yet their application is often limited by weak interfacial bonding and insufficient cohesive strength in hydrated environments.

kPa

how much force it took to pull the seal apart underwater - higher means stronger, more secure bonding

More results

Here, we report a root-inspired multilevel wet bioadhesive enabled by helical-cavity-preserving starch engineering for corneal repair.

Conclusion

This study establishes helical-cavity-preserving starch as an active carbohydrate-polymer motif for root-inspired wet bioadhesive design.
