The fixation of hydrogels to biol. tissues is a major challenge conditioning the development of implants and surgical techniques. Here, coatings of procoagulant nanoparticles are devised which use the presence of blood to create adhesion between hydrogels and soft internal organs. Those nanostructured coatings are simply adsorbed at the hydrogel surfaces and can rapidly activate the formation of an interfacial blood clot acting as an adhesive joint. This concept is demonstrated on pig liver capsules with model poly(ethylene-glycol) membranes that are intrinsically poorly adhesive. In the absence of blood, ex vivo peeling tests show that coatings with aggregates of bare silica nanoparticles induce a 2- to 4-fold increase in adhesion energy as compared to the uncoated membrane (3 ± 2 J m-2). This effect is found to scale with the sp. surface area of the coating. The highest adhesion energies produced by these nanoparticle-coated membranes (10 ± 5 J m-2) approach the value obtained with cyanoacrylate glue (33 ± 11 J m-2) for which tearing of the tissue is observed Ex vivo pull-off tests show an adhesion strength of coated membranes around 5 ± 1 kPa, which is significantly reduced when operating in vivo (1.0 ± 0.5 kPa). Nevertheless, when blood is introduced at the interface, the in vivo adhesion strength can be improved remarkably with silica coatings, reaching 4 ± 2 kPa after 40 min contact. In addition, these silica-coated membranes can seal and stop the bleeding produced by liver biopsies very rapidly (<30 s). Such a combination of coagulation and particle bridging opens promising routes for better biointegrated hydrogel implants and improved surgical adhesives, hemostats, and sealants.
