The adhesion of marine mussels has peaked the interest of many in the scientific community because of their ability to firmly attach to a wide range of substrates in wet and saline conditions. Such environments are generally unfavorable for conventional synthetic adhesives. With the hope of developing better, potentially biocompatible adhesives a lot of work has gone into studying the mechanisms involved in mussel adhesion. The catechol functional group has been found to be crucial in the attachment process and a large number of studies using the surface force apparatus have looked into catechol mediated adhesion. In addition, the catechol group is also able to undergo a redox reaction and has been well studied using electrochemistry. Yet, ...
