Résumé
Adjusting the water content and mechanical properties of polyelectrolyte coacervates for optimal underwater adhesion requires simultaneous control of the macromolecular design and the type and concentration of the salt used. Using synthetic or bio-inspired polymers to make coacervates often involves complicated chemistries and large variations in salt concentration. The underwater adhesiveness of simple, bio-sourced coacervates can be tuned with relatively small variations in salt concentration. Bio-sourced polymers can also impart beneficial biological activities to the final material.
