Little is known about the mechanisms by which certain biological fibres attach to hard substrates. Here the structure of the attachment interface is critical to the function of the system as a whole. The protein fibers that anchor certain molluscs to rocks, for example, attach to surfaces with quite different mechanical properties from those of the mollusc itself, leading to potential interfacial mismatches. Moreover, mussels must attach rapidly, underwater, to a wide variety of substrates, and with substantial force.

人们对某些生物纤维附着在硬基质上的机制知之甚少。 在这里，附件接口的结构对于整个系统的功能至关重要。 例如，将某些软体动物锚在岩石上的蛋白质纤维，附着在与软体动物本身的机械特性完全不同的表面上，导致潜在的界面失配。 此外，贻贝必须在水下迅速附着在各种各样的基质上，并具有相当大的力量。
