Adhesives underwater

Thus, studying the adhesive characteristics and the adhesion mechanisms of aquatic organisms is a promising approach toward the development of future biomimetic adhesives with an extended spectrum of properties, which may find application in the medical and dental or technical fields. Further understanding of underwater adhesion mechanisms in biological systems wiU also lead to con-...

Materials suitable for use as underwater adhesives include carefully formulated coldcuring thermosets such as Epoxide adhesives and Polyurethane adhesives. Such multi-component systems are not significantly affected by the presence of water in the uncured condition and convert from the liquid to the solid state via Chain polymerization in which two or more co-reactants form one polymeric product. The process does not involve the loss of solvents and does not require the presence of oxygen.
