Fig. 2: Robust adhesion of the BIMS on diverse marine animals.
From: Bioadhesive interface for marine sensors on diverse soft fragile species
a–c Shear strength (a), tensile strength (b), and interfacial toughness (c) between the BIMS and various marine animal tissues. d–f Schematic illustration (d) and representative images (e, f) for a mock sensor adhered on a squid mantle with simulated respiration. g, h Representative images of robust and non-invasive adhesion on squid mantle before (g) and after (h) 40 cycles of simulated respiration. i, j Squid (i) and jellyfish (j) after tagging (left image in each panel) and freely swimming immediately upon release (right image of each panel). k Tag deployment time in water for squid and jellyfish. Values in (a, b, c, and k) represent the mean and the standard deviation (n ≥ 2 independent samples).
