[0002] Underwater adhesives have a wide range of applications in daily life, oceans, medical treatment and other fields. However, the widely used cyanoacrylate adhesives exhibit strong adhesion in air, but when applied to water environment, they will quickly harden to form a hard plastic, ultimately resulting in loss of adhesion. Although commercial epoxy resins and polyurethanes have strong adhesion under water, they usually require a long curing time, and meanwhile, although polyurethane adhesives are elastic, they have insufficient compressive strength and rigidity, and are difficult to meet the requirements of high-load structures. Hydrogel materials can achieve rapid bonding under water, but have weak adhesion.
[0003] Nucleic acids, particularly DNA, have been widely used as biodegradable macromolecules for the manufacture of various bulk polymer materials, such as hydrogels and bioplastics. However, nucleic acids have a rigid and charged backbone, and have large side groups, resulting in weak mechanical properties of related materials. SUMMARY

[0037] Example 9 Prepare each ratio of polymer NBT X - co -COE (1000-X)Take 1.1 g, dissolved in 6 ml of chloroform or N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), completely dissolved and poured into a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mold. The mold is placed on a 50°C hot table to dry for 12 h to remove most of the solvent; then put into a vacuum drying oven at 50°C for 12 h to remove residual solvent. After the solvent is removed, the polymer is cut into dumbbell-shaped samples. At room temperature, carry out lap shear test on a universal mechanical tensile testing machine at a constant speed of 10 mm / min -1 , unless otherwise specified, each test is carried out 3 times. The results are shown in Figure 7 , the increase of the proportion of cyclooctene increases the strain of the polymer, which can reach 560%. With the increase of core base monomer NBT, the tensile strength of the polymer increases from 10.2 Mpa to 40 Mpa. When NBT is more than 30%, the polymer becomes too brittle to carry out tensile test. In addition, the Young's modulus increases from 75.1 to 800, while the toughness index also decreases synchronously.
[0038] Example 10 Take 1.1 g, dissolved in 6 ml of chloroform or N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), completely dissolved and poured into a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mold. The mold is placed on a 50°C hot table to dry for 12 h to remove most of the solvent; then put into a vacuum drying oven at 50°C for 12 h to remove residual solvent. After the solvent is removed, the polymer is cut into dumbbell-shaped samples. At room temperature, carry out lap shear test on a universal mechanical tensile testing machine at a constant speed of 10 mm / min X - co -COE (1000-X) Take 10 mg, fixed between the surfaces of the tested substrate (stainless steel, aluminum) by clamps. By heating in an 80°C drying oven for 4 h, the polymer is melted into a low viscosity liquid, then deposited on the surface to adhere the two surfaces (connection area: 10 mm x 10 mm), and cooled to room temperature. The adhered sample is fixed to the clamps of the tensile machine to measure the shear strength of the adhesive layer. As shown in Figure 8 , the core base-containing norbornene polymer NBT X - co -COE (1000-X) has good adhesion to metals, with a maximum of 23 Mpa and an average of 20.4 MPa for stainless steel; while the aluminum substrate is too soft, with a maximum of 15 Mpa and an average of 13.7 Mpa.
[0039] Example 11 Take 1.1 g, dissolved in 6 ml of chloroform or N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), completely dissolved and poured into a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mold. The mold is placed on a 50°C hot table to dry for 12 h to remove most of the solvent; then put into a vacuum drying oven at 50°C for 12 h to remove residual solvent. After the solvent is removed, the polymer is cut into dumbbell-shaped samples. At room temperature, carry out lap shear test on a universal mechanical tensile testing machine at a constant speed of 10 mm / min X - co -COE (1000-X) Take 10 mg, fixed between the surfaces of the tested substrate (stainless steel, aluminum) by clamps. By heating in an 80°C drying oven for 4 h, the polymer is melted into a low viscosity liquid, then deposited on the surface to adhere the two surfaces (connection area: 10 mm x 10 mm), and cooled to room temperature. The adhered sample is fixed to the clamps of the tensile machine to measure the shear strength of the adhesive layer. As shown in Figure 9 , the adhesive still has good adhesion after 7 days.
[0040] Example 12 The prepared polymer NBT X - co -COE (1000-X) Take 10 mg, fixed by clamp between the surface of the measured substrate (PC, PMMA, PS, PE, PTFE, PP). By heating in 80 °C drying box for 4 h, the polymer is melted into a low viscosity liquid, then deposited on the surface to adhere two surfaces (connection area: 10 mm x 10 mm), cooled to room temperature. To measure the shear strength of the adhesive layer, as Figure 10 As shown, the prepared hot melt adhesive of the polymer has good adhesion effect in air for different plastic substrates, such as PC, PMMA, which is best up to 1.6 Mpa.
[0041] From Figure 1 1 H NMR spectrum analysis shows that the olefin peak of monomer NBT and COE in the copolymer completely disappears at 5.64 and 6.30 ppm, and a new olefin peak appears between 5.38 ~ 5.68 ppm, which proves the successful copolymerization of NBT and COE.
[0042] From Figures 3 to 5 It can be seen that the obtained NBT X - co -COE (1000-X) The copolymer is further characterized by two-dimensional DOSY NMR. NBT 300 - co - COE 700 The two-dimensional DOSY NMR spectrum of the copolymer has only one diffusion coefficient except DMSO and water. In addition, the two-dimensional DOSY NMR spectrum of the copolymer NBT 100 - co - COE 900 And NBT 200 - co - COE 800 The two-dimensional DOSY also has only one diffusion coefficient, which confirms the successful copolymerization of NBT and COE.
[0043] Figure 2 NBT X - co -COE (1000-X) The size exclusion chromatogram of the polymer, from Figure 2 It can be seen that SEC successfully proves the successful preparation of thymine-containing polyolefin, and the molecular weight of the copolymer gradually increases with the increase of NBT.
[0044] Figure 6 NBTX - co -COE (1000-X) The thermal gravimetric analysis curves of the polymers, from Figure 6 It can be seen that the polymers all have good thermal stability, and the decomposition temperature is above 250℃.
