Catechol-thiol-based dental adhesive inspired by underwater mussel adhesion
The critical problem associated with the underwater mussel adhesive catechol-based 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (DOPA) is its sensitivity to oxidation. To overcome this problem, mussels underwent etching in the presence of acidic pH conditions (
