Recent Physical Interaction-based Bioadhesives

Emerging bioadhesives: from traditional bioactive and bioinert to a new biomimetic protein-based approach

“…Thus, understanding the interactions that occur within bioadhesives is critical in addressing the adhesive strengths and failures that arise, thereby enabling a response in the material's tuneability. Comprehensive analysis of the two interactions has been reviewed and referred to for further understanding [17,18].…”

Bioadhesives for clinical applications – a mini review

“…9 For example, bioadhesives possess anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. 10,11 Additional properties, such as self-healing and injectability, increase the use of bioadhesives for easier applications. 12 Commercially available bioadhesives include FocalSeal s developed to prevent air leakage at the time of lung surgery, 13 DuraSeal s designed for the spine and dura sealing, 14 and Coseal s employed as an aide of suture to prevent the leakage of blood vessels.…”

Bridging wounds: tissue adhesives’ essential mechanisms, synthesis and characterization, bioinspired adhesives and future perspectives

“…Tissue adhesives can be defined as glues or patches that are used to bind tissues to tissues, or tissues to patches, in order to control bleeding and stop gas or liquid leaking; adhesion occurs due to intermolecular interactions at the interfaces of the two surfaces [ 15–17 ]. Adhesives provide superior convenience for wound healing, such as less traumatic closure, less pain, easier operation and no post-surgical removal, and can even release drugs and growth factors to accelerate healing [ 18 , 19 ]. Some are applied as commercial adhesives, e.g.…”
