Fig. 4: Benchmarking the multi-phenolic adhesive with commercial and literature-reported ones.
From: Ultrastrong underwater adhesion on diverse substrates using non-canonical phenolic groups
a Change of the backbone structure to methacrylic amide further enhanced the underwater adhesion strength. b Comparison of P(4HMA8%-co-S92%) to literature-reported values on various surfaces. c Benchmarking of P(4HMA8%-co-S92%) to typical commercial glues on steel substrates underwater. The results represent the mean ± s.d. (n = 5). *Results of ref. 33 were performed by lap-shear tests.
