For most traditional wound dressings, it is challenging to simultaneously eliminate bacteria
and promote angiogenesis to accelerate the healing process of bacteria-infected wounds. In …

The introduction of biologically relevant organic moieties in the coordination sphere of
transition metal complexes has recently become a well-established strategy to increase the …

Herein, we highlight a novel finding that ferritin can play a crucial role in the “self-healing
lifetime” of soft phenolic materials. Ferritin interacts with a catechol-functionalized polymer to …

Here, a polyvinylidene difluoride composite membrane (PVDF@ TA–Fe membrane) was
prepared via the repeated spraying of tannic acid (TA) and Fe 3+ to form a TA–Fe complex …

The formation of dark complexes due to the interaction between polyphenols and iron has
been empirically exploited since the XII century for the production of the so-called iron-gall …

Several metal-based nanoparticles (NPs) have been found to be toxic and are known to
exert adverse health outcomes with irreversible side effects. This highlights the need to …

Redox chemistry involving the quinone/phenol cycling of natural organic matter (NOM) is
known to modulate microbial respiration. Complexation with metals or minerals can also …

Herein, we report a platform to integrate customizable quantities of catechol units into
polymers by reacting caffeic acid carbonic anhydride with polymers having pendant amine …

The escalating demand and dwindling reserves of precious metals request efficient
recycling techniques from electron waste. Addressing this need, we introduce a new method …

Tannic acid in alkaline solutions in which sol-gel synthesis is usually performed with
tetraethoxysilane is susceptible to various modifications, including formation of reactive …
