Fa'avae ma fa'auluulu i Shenzhen, Deepmaterial o lo'o faipa'aga ma ta'ita'i gaosi oloa i le lalolagi atoa mo le tele o tausaga, fesoasoani i le fa'alauteleina o sosaiete e ala i fofo saogalemu, sili atu ona fa'atuatuaina ma taugofie.

O mea fa'apipi'i e mafai ona fa'auigaina o mea fa'aagafesootai e mafai ona fa'apipi'i tumau i luga, e ala i se faiga fa'apipi'i. O lenei faiga e aofia ai ni tino eseese se lua o loʻo taofia i fesoʻotaʻiga vavalalata ina ia mafai ai ona faʻafeiloaʻi le malosi faʻainisinia poʻo le galuega i luga o le faʻaoga. Talu mai lo latou vave mauaina e tagata Aikupito, 3300 tausaga talu ai, o taumafaiga suʻesuʻe malosi na faia ma le faʻamoemoe o le mauaina o mea e sili ona lelei, biocompatible adhesives. O bitumen, la'au pitches ma beeswax, na fa'aaogaina i aso anamua ma aso anamua, na suia i sima pa'u ma mea fa'anatura ma mea gaosia; i aso nei, o le taulaiga o le tele lava i luga o mea faʻapipiʻi faʻalelei.

Fa'apipi'i Ufiufi le fa'aoga autu tau alamanuia, biomedical ma pharmaceutical applications. E le gata i lea, matou te taulaʻi atu i le tupulaga fou o mea faʻapipiʻi, faʻavae i luga o tekinolosi faʻaonaponei e pei o le nanotechnology, polymers derivatised, ma biomimetic adhesives. O le utiuti o mea mata'utia ma le leaga o a'afiaga o mea fa'apipi'i i le soifua maloloina o tagata ma le si'osi'omaga ua fa'atupuina ai le toe faia o su'esu'ega e fa'atatau i mea fa'afouina, ina ia maua ai bioadhesives saogalemu mo le si'osi'omaga e fetaui lelei ma latou vaega fa'aoga.
