Mussel-mimetic self-healing polyaspartamide derivative gel via boron-catechol interactions

The catechol group from catechol of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine (DOP, dopamine) has the ability to interact with metal ions to form non-covalent bonds in polymer chains. In this study, a novel kind of mussel-inspired copolymer, dopamine-conjugated poly(hydroxyethyl aspartamide), polyAspAm(DOP/EA), w...
