Bioadhesion

Bioadhesion refers to the ability of a material or substance to adhere to biological tissues, such as skin, mucous membranes, or organs. This natural or engineered stickiness is achieved through specific interactions between the material’s surface and the biological tissue, often involving physical or chemical bonds. Bioadhesive materials are used in medical applications like wound dressings, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering, helping to secure devices or deliver treatments effectively. The goal is to create a strong, biocompatible bond that maintains contact without damaging the tissue or causing discomfort.
