The Chemistry of Polydopamine Film Formation: The Amine-Quinone Interplay

The Chemistry of Polydopamine Film Formation: The Amine-Quinone Interplay

Despite extensive investigations over the past decade, the chemical basis of the extraordinary underwater adhesion properties of polydopamine (PDA) has remained not entirely understood. The bulk of evidence points to PDA wet adhesion as a complex process based on film deposition, and growth in which...
