Abstract
The aim of this project is to create a biologically-based adhesive that is βgreenβ, cost effective, and mechanically viable. Outcomes, in line with the aims, will be to produce hydrogel adhesives that are environmentally friendly, less expensive than current available bio-adhesives, and at equal or better strength than currently available bio-/traditional adhesives in industrial applications. This project will be significant in that it is an entirely novel concept involving recombinant hagfish proteins and a novel application of them that can address current issues in industrial waste and cost of bio-adhesives. The result of this product will be environmentally clean, economically viable, scientifically innovative, and industrially effective.
