, which surpasses that of many mussel-inspired derivatives and is even 121-fold higher than that of polycatechol. Such a robust adhesion mainly stems from a high yield of DHI moieties through a delicate synergy of leading oxidation and subsidiary cyclization within self-polymerization, allowing for governing mussel-inspired adhesion by the substituent chemistry and self-polymerization manner. The adhesion mechanisms revealed in this work offer a useful paradigm for the exploitation of functional mussel-inspired materials.
