Congratulations to Dirk, Sally and Yiran on publication of their paper in ACS Macro Letters!

Congratulations to Diederik Balkenende, Sally Winkler, and Yiran Li on publication of their paper in ACS Macro Letters!

Here we introduce a tissue-adhesive patch with orthogonal cohesive and adhesive chemistries; supramolecular ureido-4-pyrimidinone (UPy) cross-links provide cohesive strength, and catechols provide mussel-inspired tissue adhesion. We found that using orthogonal motifs to independently control adhesives’ cohesive and adhesive strengths resulted in stronger tissue adhesion. The design principles presented here advance the development of wet tissue adhesives and could allow for the future design of biomaterials with desirable stimuli-responsive properties.
