Endocytosis-Inspired Zwitterionic Gel Tape for High-Efficient and Sustainable Underoil Adhesion.

Marine oil exploration is important yet greatly increases the risk of oil leakage, which will result in severe environment pollution and economic losses. It is an urgent need to develop effective underoil adhesives. However, realizing underoil adhesion is even harder than those underwater, due to the stubborn attachment of a highly viscous oil layer on target surface.
