An organic/inorganic hybrid soft material for supramolecular adhesion

Abstract

Thioctic acid (TA) has been widely used to construct soft materials via supramolecular copolymerization with organic chemicals. In this study, TA and the inorganic compound MoS2 are used to fabricate poly[TA-MoS2] via dynamic covalent and supramolecular interactions. Poly[TA-MoS2] exhibits good and long-lasting adhesion performance on various artificial surfaces, with an adhesion strength up to 3.72 MPa (15 days). Further, it exhibits tough adhesion effects in an aqueous environment. Moreover, poly[TA-MoS2] displays good thermal processing behavior, thus enabling its molding through 3D printing.
