In the last years coating of surfaces in the presence of dopamine or other catecholamines in
oxidative conditions to yield “polydopamine” films has become a popular, easy and versatile …

Thanks to rapid development of nanotechnology, studies have discovered an emerging
polymer nanomaterial—polydopamine (PDA) inspired by natural mussels. PDA possesses …

Dopamine (DA) is one of the most important neurotransmitters of catecholamines
(epinephrine, adrenaline, etc.) in the central nervous system of mammals. Abnormalities in …

Surface functionalization via molecular design has been a key approach to incorporate new
functionalities into existing biomaterials for biomedical application. Mussel-inspired …

Current interest in melanin films derived from the autoxidation of dopamine stems from their
use as a universal adhesion layer. Here we report chemical and physical characterization of …

Polydopamine (PDA), the final oxidation product of dopamine or other catecholamines,
attracted much attention as versatile coatings that can be used to cover the surface of almost …

This study aims to explore the fundamental surface characteristics of polydopamine (pDA)-
coated hydrophobic polymer films. A poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) film was surface …

Self-polymerized dopamine is a versatile coating material that has various oxygen and
nitrogen functional groups. Here, we demonstrate the redox-active properties of self …

We report a method to form multifunctional polymer coatings through simple dip-coating of
objects in an aqueous solution of dopamine. Inspired by the composition of adhesive …

Efficient surface functionalization with polydopamine (PDA) films can be easily achieved on
virtually any object via single immersion in slightly basic dopamine solutions. In such …
