Blue mussel (Mytilus edulis)

Mussel Adhesive Proteins: Underwater Bonding

Mussels attach themselves to wet, wave-battered rocks using protein threads that bond to virtually any surface underwater — something no synthetic adhesive has ever matched. Scientists have now synthesised the key molecule (DOPA) to create biomedical glues that work inside the body.

  • ✿Inspired by: Blue mussel (Mytilus edulis)
  • ⚡︎Function: Mimics mussel protein adhesion for underwater bonding.
  • ▣Company: Mussel Polymers Inc
