Mussel-inspired load bearing metal-polymer glues.

A mussel-inspired synthetic adhesive based on dopamine containing methacrylate copolymers was developed to bond polymers to metal surfaces at an adhesion strength of up to 20 MPa for bulk samples.

Magnetic silyl scaffold enables efficient recycling of protecting groups.

A novel organic/inorganic hybrid material comprising carboncoated cobalt nanoparticles and a poly(benzylchloride)styrene shell is the first magnetic support that complies with important requirements for immobilized reagents and scavengers, that is, stability under harsh conditions (e.g., acids), sufficient loading (up to 2 mmol g(-1)), and satisfying magnetization.
