The adhesion between hard materials without any glue is difficult but challenging topic because hard materials inhibit molecular mobility and have a large gap on the adhesive interface. Here we show that hostguest interactions realize a strong adhesive strength between semihard materials based on polyacrylamide xerogel by using a minimal amount of water. The adhesive strength between beta CD xerogel(x) and Ad xerogel(y), where beta CD and Ad denote beta-cyclodextrin and adamantane, respectively, increases as the molar ratio (mol %) of host (x) or guest (y) molecules increases, which indicates that adhesion between beta CD xerogel(x) and Ad xerogel(y) is due to complexation between the beta CD and the Ad units. Adhesion between beta CD xerogel(10) and Ad xerogel(5) displays a robust adhesive strength (5.1 MPa). Competitive experiments using small molecules confirmed the importance of hostguest interactions in adhesion. Optical microscopic observations of the adhesion interfaces reveal that both sides of beta CD xerogel(x) and Ad xerogel(y) pull together, reflecting the specific adhesive nature between the two materials. Furthermore, a self-healable semihard material, beta CD-Ad xerogel(0.3, 0.4) modified with both 0.3 mol % of beta CD and 0.4 mol % of Ad, shows an 88% stress recovery ratio. These results indicate that beta CD and Ad moieties function as glue on the molecular level in the solid state.
