Extended Data Fig. 7: Effect of covalent crosslinks on the long-term stability of adhesion by the DST.
From: Dry double-sided tape for adhesion of wet tissues and devices
a, Interfacial toughness and shear and tensile strength versus pressing time for wet porcine skins adhered by the DST without NHS ester. Note that these adhesion tests were performed immediately after the initial pressing. b, Interfacial toughness and shear and tensile strength versus time after pressing for wet porcine skins adhered by the DST without NHS ester. Note that all samples for b were kept in wet environments before the mechanical tests. Values represent the mean and the standard deviation (n = 3–5).
