Biomimetic and bioinspired materials have shown great promise in membrane science and technology. Particularly, with the deeper insight into marine mussel adhesive process, mussel-inspired membranes have been intensively developed in the past few years. Generally speaking, the basic principle of mussel adhesion was mostly utilized to tune the interfacial structure of multi-layered membranes, and mussel-inspired membranes have exhibited many unique characteristics, e.g. ultra-thin, defect-free, structurally stable, functionally extensible, etc. The present review will first briefly introduce the surface chemistry of mussel adhesion, and then focus on the preparations and applications of mussel-inspired membranes. Finally, the prospects of manipulating bioadhesion phenomena to the rational design of membrane structure and function will be tentatively proposed. |
