(a) Contact mechanics experimental design and (b) load-versus-displacement curves of control (blue) and Dopa-modified (red) gels contacting a Ti-coated silicon wafer submerged in aqueous buffer. Dashed arrows indicate the advancing (indentation) portion of the curve, whereas solid arrows indicate the receding (pull-off) portion of the contact curve. Adapted from Reference 94 with permission.
