\nCette conférence s
 era prononcée (en anglais) par le professeur Jonathan Wilker du Départem
 ent de chimie de la Purdue University.
\nRésumé : Peer into a tide pool 
 and you will see the impressive array of materials generated by marine bio
 logy. Mussels\, barnacles\, oysters\, soft coral\, and kelp all produce ad
 hesives to stay in place. By sticking together in communities these organi
 sms avoid capture by predators\, decrease hydrodynamic forces to which the
 y are subjected\, and increase population densities for efficient reproduc
 tion. Despite the conspicuous presence on beaches\, surprisingly little is
  known about the chemistry and engineering behind such marine biological m
 aterials. Human technology cannot yet rival the properties of materials ge
 nerated by these seemingly simple animals. Purchase any glue from a hardwa
 re store and try to bond two substrates together when underwater. Nothing 
 will stick. Yet sea creatures accomplish such tasks daily. So far\, only m
 arine biology can offer the wet setting and strong bonding needed for surg
 ical glues\, dental adhesives\, and bone cements. Ongoing efforts in our g
 roup address three compelling questions:
\n
\nHow does marine biology use 
 chemistry to generate materials?
\nCan we make synthetic polymer mimics of
  biological materials with similar properties?
\nWill this knowledge allow
  us to make biomedical adhesives and render sutures obsolete?
