Mussel Coating Protein-Derived Complex Coacervates Mitigate Frictional Surface Damage

[Image: see text] The role of friction in the functional performance of biomaterial interfaces is widely reckoned to be critical and complicated but poorly understood. To better understand friction forces, we investigated the natural adaptation of the holdfast or byssus of mussels that live in high-...
