Extended Data Fig. 2: Adhesion mechanisms of the barnacle-glue-inspired paste.
From: Rapid and coagulation-independent haemostatic sealing by a paste inspired by barnacle glue
a, Schematic illustrations for the physical crosslinking-based adhesion between the barnacle-glue-inspired paste and the tissue surface. b, Schematic illustrations for the covalent crosslinking-based adhesion between the barnacle-glue-inspired paste and the tissue surface. c, Interfacial toughness of blood-covered porcine skin adhered by the paste with and without NHS ester over time. Values in c represent the mean and the standard deviation (n = 3; independent samples). Statistical significance and p values are determined by two-sided Student t-test; *** p ≤ 0.001.
