Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Mussel-Inspired Adhesives and Coatings
Annual review of materials research (Print), 2011 Mussels attach to solid surfaces in the sea. Their adhesion must be rapid, strong, and tough, or else they will be dislodged and dashed to pieces by the next incoming wave.

A comparative study of the behavioural responses to heavy metal pollution populations of the common mussel mytilus edulis L, collected from a polluted site(Teesmouth) and a relatively unpolluted site (Lindisfame) [PDF]
, 1993 This study examined the ecological differences between two populations of the common blue mussel Mytilus edulis L. The project investigated the response to heavy metal pollution, administered in the form of metal salts, to individuals from populations ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Peptide‐inspired associative polymers with arginine‐like guanidinium stickers and lysine‐like ammonium spacers undergo chain collapse and liquid‐liquid phase separation induced by reversible sticker associations. Sticker valence and tunable association strength jointly control the phase behavior, chain conformation, and interfacial cohesion of these ...

Recent approaches in designing bioadhesive materials inspired by mussel adhesive protein
Journal of Polymer Science Part A: Polymer Chemistry, 2016 Marine mussels secret protein‐based adhesives, which enable them to anchor to various surfaces in a saline, intertidal zone. Mussel foot proteins (Mfps) contain a large abundance of a unique, catecholic amino acid, Dopa, in their protein sequences ...

In-stream and hyporheic water quality of the River Esk, North Yorkshire: implications for Freshwater Pearl Mussel habitats [PDF]
, 2013 River systems and their catchments are important for ecological, social and economic reasons. However, the increased and changing usage of these natural environments and resources for anthropogenic benefit have led to degradation in water quality, which ...

One‐Step Immobilized Phage Depolymerase Coatings for Catheter‐Related Bloodstream Infections
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Catheter‐related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) caused by drug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria remain a major clinical challenge. Here, a polydopamine‐assisted depolymerase coating degrades bacterial capsules and restores serum‐mediated killing, effectively suppressing biofilms and reducing bacterial burden in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo, presenting a
