Underwater detection and deep-sea resource development both require underwater special robots with crawling and object-grasping capabilities. Their effectiveness, however, is highly dependent on the development of high-performance underwater adhesive materials. Compared to air environments, underwater adhesion is hindered by the hydration layer barrier between the adhesive material and the substrate, making it difficult to implement; the fluidity of water and the complexity of solid-liquid interactions at the adhesion interface increase the difficulty of removing the interfacial water from a scientific perspective.Against this backdrop, the project "Preparation of Carbon-Based Underwater Super-Strong Adhesive Materials Based on the 'One-Way Valve' Principle and Research on Their Adhesion Mechanism," submitted by Professor Xu Ming (Project Approval Number: 52472047), was successfully approved. The project focuses on the key needs of underwater special robots in detection and deep-sea resource development, aiming to overcome the challenges of underwater adhesion, providing technical support for maritime defense and ocean resource development. Through the innovative "one-way valve" effect, the project seeks to develop carbon-based materials that can absorb and lock the hydration layer, potentially eliminating the interference of water on the adhesion interface and providing stable, strong underwater adhesion capabilities.
The successful approval of this project marks a crucial step forward in China's research on underwater adhesive materials, providing a more solid technological foundation for future underwater detection, deep-sea resource development, and national maritime defense.
