Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of this invention relate to adhesives, and more particularly to biomimetic heteropolymer adhesive compositions. Certain embodiments relate to biomimetic terpolymer adhesive compositions including dopamine methacrylamide, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, or 3,4-dihydroxy styrene, mimicking moieties found in marine mussel adhesive proteins. In some embodiments, elastic moduli of the adhesives are preferably selected to match the elastic moduli of the substrates to minimize stress concentrations, to increase the ductility of the adhesive-substrate system, or both.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A biomimetic polymer adhesive comprising the following components: cross-linking monomer in a proportion of about 28% to about 36% by mole percentage, stiffening monomer in a proportion of about 16% to about 41% by mole percentage, and softening monomer in a proportion of about 23% to about 52% by mole percentage. 2. The adhesive of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the stiffening monomer and the softening monomer is a methacrylate monomer. 3. The adhesive of claim 1 , wherein the stiffening monomer is methyl methacrylate. 4. The adhesive of claim 1 , wherein the softening monomer is poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate. 5. The adhesive of claim 1 , wherein the cross-linking monomer is one of dopamine methacrylamide or 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine.
