Hygroscopic compounds in spider aggregate glue remove interfacial water to maintain adhesion in humid conditions

Adhesion in humid environments is fundamentally challenging because of the presence of interfacial bound water. Spiders often hunt in wet habitats and overcome this challenge using sticky aggregate glue droplets whose adhesion is resistant to interfacial failure under humid conditions. The mechanism...
