Often, adsorbed polymers such as polyvinylamine (PVAm) are used to increase the wet strength; however, this provides only a minimal increase in the adhesion energy.Keywords: Adhesion energy; Adsorbed layers; Adsorbed polymers; Aqueous condition; Boronic acid; Cellulose surfaces; Charged interfaces; Charged polyelectrolytes; Cis-Diol; Colloidal probes; Covalent linkage; Molecular conformation; Phenol groups; Phenylboronic acid200910.1021/la900256s2016-02-24
