Adhesive gel systems are attracting increasing interest
from researchers
to use gel materials for artificial biomaterials and engineering materials.
Humans, among other living beings, eat foods, get nutrients from them,
and use these nutrients to grow up day by day. The shapes and characteristics
of their bodies change depending on the nutrients they get. This research
develops an adhesive gel system that the chemical structure of the
adhesive joint and their properties can be changed and regulated after
adhesion, like the growth of living beings. The adhesive joint, which
is constructed using a linear polymer comprising a cyclic trithiocarbonate
monomer and acrylamide, developed in this research reacts with amines
and forms chemical structures depending on amines. The differences
in chemical structures endow the adhesive joint with the characteristics
and properties that depend on the reaction of amines with the adhesive
joint.
