The interfacial regions between PEG: dextran‐based adhesive sealant and excised rat heart, lung, liver, and duodenum tissues exhibit three distinct domains; target tissue (red and blue), bulk material (green), and an adhesive regime interposed between the two. The variation in adhesive regime morphology when applied to different tissues provides a rational approach for the engineering of application‐specific surgical sealants.
