But these structures are unstable because electrostatic forces are weak compared with the covalent bonds formed between atoms that share electrons.

The polymers bond to biological tissues via three mechanisms — electrostatic attraction to negatively charged cell surfaces, covalent bonds between neighboring atoms, and physical interpenetration — making the adhesive extremely strong.
