Polydopamine is one of the simplest and most versatile approaches to functionalizing
material surfaces, having been inspired by the adhesive nature of catechols and amines in …

Polydopamine and related polycatecholamines can be easily deposited onto almost any
surface from mild, aqueous solution. This results in durable, nanoscale coatings that exhibit …

Polydopamine (PDA) is a polymer easily obtained by oxidation of dopamine. It is composed
of indole and dopamine units in various oxidation states and to a lesser extent of pyrroles. It …

Since Lee published a pioneering paper about polydopamine (PDA), application of that
polymer in a number of areas has grown enormously in the last 10 years and is still growing …

Nanocarriers sensitive to near infrared light (NIR) are useful templates for chemo-
photothermal therapy (PTT) and imaging of tumors due to the ability to change the absorbed …

Toxic heavy metal containing Cr (VI) species is a serious threat for ecological environment
and human beings. In this work, a new mussel-inspired polydopamine microsphere (PDA …

Well known for the adhesive property, mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) has been
shown to enhance performance in a wide range of adsorption-based applications. However …

The suppression effect of graphene in the fire hazards and smoke toxicity of polymer
composites has been seriously limited by both mass production and weak interfacial …

Over the decades, researchers have strived to synthesize and modify nature-inspired
biomaterials, with the primary aim to address the challenges of designing functional …

Highly oriented, layered, and mechanically resilient films of polydopamine (PDA) have been
synthesized from the air/water interface. The films show a unique layered structure, as …
