Abstract

Robust underwater adhesion is challenging because a hydration layer impedes the interaction between substrates and adhesives. Phenolic adhesives inspired by marine creatures such as mussels were extensively studied, but these adhesives have not reached the adhesion strength and substrate diversity of Man-made dry adhesives. Here, we report a class of ultrastrong underwater adhesives with molecular phenolic designs extending beyond what nature has produced. These non-canonical phenolic polymers show versatile adhesion on various materials, with adhesion strengths exceeding 10 MPa on metal. Incorporating even just a small amount (
