Mussel Polymers, Inc. is a chemical manufacturer based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, that focuses on difficult underwater adhesion challenges in wet and humid environments. It uses catechol-related chemistry to develop practical bonding solutions suited for submerged conditions. The company’s initial products are poly(catechol styrene) polymers licensed from Purdue University and developed by Professor Jonathan Wilker, and it plans to extend this platform with additional internally developed or licensed technologies. Its target markets span industries requiring effective underwater bonds, including medicine, marine, cosmetics, offshore energy, and defense. Currently, Mussel Polymers is participating in a NOAA-supported initiative aimed at improving the adhesion of coral buds during restoration efforts. In April 2021, the company announced the appointment of Dr. George K. Kodokian to its board of directors.
