Many marine fouling invertebrates (e.g. mussel, sandcastle worm and sea star) live in dynamic ocean environments by adapting using their biological materials. They produce and secrete specialized materials that function in water allowing them to attach themselves in marine environments, where continuous mechanical, chemical and biological stresses are given by salinity, humidity, tides, turbulence, and microbial predators of sea water. In this presentation, three key insights (Catechol, Complex coacervation, and Cation-π inteaction) for successful underwater adhesion from marine fouling organisms will be presented. |
