Composite Materials and Films Based on Melanins, Polydopamine, and Other Catecholamine-Based Materials
Polydopamine (PDA) is related to eumelanins in its composition and structure. These pigments allow the design, inspired by natural materials, of composite nanoparticles and films for applications in the field of energy conversion and the design of biomaterials. This short review summarizes the main...
