English abstract:
The number of patients with minor and major accidents coming into accident and emergency care is steadily rising due to increasing life spans and the aging of our society. In order to ensure efficient care and health of human beings, medical methods need to be optimized. The fixation and adhesion between tissues, implants or scaffolds have to be refined, but the number and versatility of biomimetic and biocompatible adhesives that can be used for such purpose is limited. Up to now, adhesives based on cyanoacrylates, polyurethanes, epoxy resins or poly(methyl methacrylates) still bear several drawbacks ranging from possible allergic response, lack of mechanical strength to toxic side products. Therefore, new biomimetic glues for bonding of tissue-tissue and tissue-implant interfaces are urgently needed.
