    Recently, the team of Zhang Lei and Qi Haishan of Tianjin University used biosynthesis methods to prepare biomimetic multifunctional protein materials
    for mussels.
    The material has high adhesion and antibacterial properties, and can be used as a "super coating"
    for medical devices and in vivo implantable devices.
    The results were published in the internationally authoritative journals Chemical Communications and ACS Appl.
    Mater.
    Interfaces
    .

    The coating combines the four characteristics of adhesion, antifouling and antibacterial, anti-fog and excellent biocompatibility, and has broad application prospects
    in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.
    The experimental results show that the new material has strong adhesion to a variety of medical materials, can resist more than 95% of bacteria and cell adhesion, and has outstanding
    antibacterial properties.
    The protein-coated glass substrate maintains high light transmittance in a hot steam environment, exhibiting excellent anti-fog properties
    .
    In addition, the coating has excellent biocompatibility, and medical devices using this protein coating are expected to overcome immune rejection when
    entering the human body.
