- Abstract
Polydopamine and related polycatecholamines can be easily deposited onto almost any surface from mild, aqueous solution. This results in durable, nanoscale coatings that exhibit high biocompatibility and have useful chemical and electronic properties. Additionally, these materials can be readily chemically and physically modified, and consequently, they are used extensively for surface modification. This review investigates the formation and modification of polycatecholamines; how they adhere to surfaces; and the chemical, physical, and electronic properties of the resultant materials. There is also an exploration of the extraordinary array of applications in which these fascinating materials are employed.
