Comparison of dry and wet adhesion strengths for three of the five-residue hydrophobic core sequences

Sequence	Dry strength (MPa)	Wet strength (MPa)	% residual strength
K3h5nK3	3.27 ± 0.19	1.13 ± 0.25	34.6
K3h5cK3	3.24 ± 0.13	0.66 ± 0.20	20.4
K3h5mIK3	3.44 ± 0.23	Delaminated	0
K3h9K3*	3.05 ± 0.23	0.67 ± 0.08	22.0

All samples were used at 4% w/v and hot-pressed at 130°C. Glue samples were soaked in water for 48 h before strength test.

^*These values were reported previously in Shen et al. (17) and are shown here for comparison purposes.
