One of the greatest challenges to the sustainability of modern society is an inadequate
supply of clean water. Due to its energy-saving and cost-effective features, membrane …

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

This review reports the recent advances in the most important and straightforward synthetic
protocols for incorporating catechols into (bio) polymers, and discusses the emerging …

Marine biofouling has been plaguing people for thousands of years. While various strategies
have been developed for antifouling (including superoleophobic) coatings, none of these …

Hydrogels, exhibiting wide application prospects in soft robotics, tissue engineering,
implantable electronics, etc., upon functioning often require to adhere to substrates …

A facile in situ polymerization was developed for grafting renewable cardanol onto the
carbon fiber (CF) surfaces to strengthen the fiber–matrix interface. CFs were chemically …

Inspired by mussels' byssus with remarkable adhesive power that is neither degraded nor
deformed in the marine environment, dopamine coating has emerged as an option for …

Global water scarcity is exacerbating owing to climate change and pollution, making the
demand for clean water more challenging with the growth of the global economy and …

Graphene oxides coated by tannic acid (GOT) can be obtained easily by the self-
polymerization of tannic acid in basic buffer solution on a graphene oxide surface …

In this work, a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor based on multiwalled
carbon nanotubes/polydopamine/gold nanoparticles composites (MWCNTs/PDA/AuNPs) …
