Abstract

Learning from nature and promoting original design concept is a significant way to develop functional materials with outstanding performance. Even since the discovery of the role of DOPA residues in the strong adhesion ability of mussel foot-byssus proteins (Mfps), numerous efforts have been devoted into the design of mussel-inspired polymers and many outstanding results have been achieved. Herein, this review is aimed to summarize the recent progress in mussel-inspired polymers in the last decade, including further explorations in the structure and functionality of Mfps, the design trend and driving forces for mussel-inspired polymers, and the applications and prospects for functional mussel-inspired polymers. We anticipate that this review can provide some guidance for researchers to explore novel biomimetic materials.

摘要

向自然学习，发扬原创设计理念，是开发性能卓越的功能材料的重要途径。自从发现 DOPA 残基在贻贝足足蛋白 (Mfps) 的强粘附能力中的作用以来，许多努力都投入到以贻贝为灵感的聚合物设计中，并取得了许多杰出的成果。在此，本综述旨在总结近十年来仿贻贝聚合物的最新进展，包括对Mfps结构和功能的进一步探索，仿贻贝聚合物的设计趋势和驱动力，以及应用和前景。功能性贻贝启发的聚合物。我们期待这篇综述能够为研究人员探索新型仿生材料提供一些指导。
