Zwitterionic-Cationic, Catechol-Based Polyesters Reinforced by In Situ Sol–Gel Inorganic Nanoparticles for Rebondable Waterborne Adhesion
Unlike conventional solvent-borne systems, which raise concerns regarding volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and toxicity, the waterborne polymer adhesives developed in this study incorporate marine mussel-inspired catechol functionalities and zwitterionic/cationic moieties into a terephthalate-based polyester...
