Adhesive material with triggerable on-demand detachment

An adhesive material for adhering one or more wet surfaces and for triggerable detachment from the one or more wet surfaces comprising:

• (i) one or more hydrophilic polymers or copolymers, grafted with (ii) one or more amine coupling groups via (iii) a plurality of cleavable physical bonds and/or cleavable covalent bonds, and (iv) one or more cross linkers,
• wherein the adhesive material is in the form of a film or tape having a top surface and a bottom surface,
• wherein the adhesive material has a liquid content such that placement of one or more of the top and/or bottom surface of the adhesive material in contact with the one or more wet surfaces causes the adhesive material to absorb liquid from the one or more wet surfaces, swell to form temporary crosslinking between the adhesive material and the wet surface, and form covalent bonds between the one or more amine coupling groups and the one or more wet surfaces.
