Abstract
Zwitterionic coatings provide a promising antifouling strategy against biofouling adhesion. Quaternary ammonium cationic polymers can effectively kill bacteria on the surface, owing to their positive charges. This strategy can avoid the release of toxic biocides, which is highly desirable for constructing coatings for biomedical devices. The present work aims to develop a facile method by covalently grafting zwitterionic and cationic copolymers containing aldehydes to the remaining amine groups of self-polymerized dopamine. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization was used to copolymerize either zwitterionic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine monomer (MPC) or cationic 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl trimethylammonium monomer (META) with 4-formyl phenyl methacrylate monomer (FPMA), and the formed copolymers poly(MPC-st-FPMA) and poly(META-st-FPMA) are denoted as MPF and MTF, respectively. MPF and MTF copolymers were then covalently grafted onto the amino groups of polydopamine-coated surfaces. PDA/MPF/MTF-coated surfaces exhibited antibacterial and antifouling properties against S. aureus, E. coli, and bovine serum albumin protein. In addition, they showed excellent viability of normal human lung fibroblast cells MRC-5. We expect the facile surface modification strategy discussed here to be applicable to medical device manufacturing.

Abstract
Conductive cardiac patches can rebuild the electroactive microenvironment for the infarcted myocardium but their repair effects benefit by carried seed cells or drugs. The key to success is the effective integration of electrical stimulation with the microenvironment created by conductive cardiac patches. Besides, due to the concerns in a high re-admission ratio of heart patients, a remote medicine device will underpin the successful repair. Herein, we report a miniature self-powered biomimetic trinity triboelectric nanogenerator with a unique double-spacer structure that unifies energy harvesting, therapeutics, and diagnosis in one cardiac patch. Trinity triboelectric nanogenerator conductive cardiac patches improve the electroactivity of the infarcted heart and can also wirelessly monitor electrocardiosignal to a mobile device for diagnosis. RNA sequencing analysis from rat hearts reveals that this trinity cardiac patches mainly regulates cardiac muscle contraction-, energy metabolism-, and vascular regulation-related mRNA expressions in vivo. The research is spawning a device that truly integrates an electrical stimulation of a functional heart patch and self-powered e-care remote diagnostic sensor.

Abstract
For early diabetes identification and management, the progression of an uncomplicated and exceedingly responsive glucose testing technology is crucial. In this study, we present a new sensor incorporating a composite of metal organic framework (MOF) based on cobalt, coated with boronic acid to facilitate selective glucose binding. Additionally, we successfully employed a highly sensitive electro-optical immunosensor for the detection of subtle changes in concentration of the diabetes biomarker glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), using zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) coated with polydopamine which further modified with boronic acid. Utilizing the polymerization characteristics of dopamine and the NH2 groups, a bonding structure is formed between ZIF-67 and 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid. ZIF-67 composite served as an effective substrate for immobilising 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid binding agent, ensuring precise and highly selective glucose identification. The sensing response was evaluated through both electrochemical and optical methods, confirming its efficacy. Under optimized experimental condition, the ZIF-67 based sensor demonstrated a broad detection range of 50-500 mg dL-1, a low limit of detection (LOD) of 9.87 mg dL-1 and a high correlation coefficient of 0.98. Furthermore, the 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid-conjugated ZIF-67-based sensor platform exhibited remarkable sensitivity and selectivity in optical-based detection for glycated haemoglobin within the clinical range of 4.7-11.3%, achieving a LOD of 3.7%. These findings highlight the potential of the 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid-conjugated ZIF-67-based electro-optical sensor as a highly sensitive platform for diabetes detection.

Abstract
ZnO nanorods (ZnO-nr) have been widely studied as a promising nanomaterial for photoelectrochemical water splitting. However, almost all prior studies employed planar electrodes. Here, we investigated the performance of ZnO nanorods on a fibrous carbon cloth (CC) electrode, which offers a larger surface area for functionalization of photocatalysts. ZnO nanorods and Ni nanofilm were deposited on carbon cloth substrates for investigation as the photoanode and cathode of a photoelectrochemical water splitting setup, respectively. The use of polydopamine in the electroless deposition of ZnO ensured a uniform distribution of nanorods that were strongly adherent to the microfiber surface of the carbon cloth. Compared to ZnO nanorods grown on planar ITO/glass substrates, the CC-based ZnO photoanodes exhibited smaller onset potentials (1.1 VRHEvs. 1.8 VRHE), ∼40× larger dark faradaic currents at 1.23 VRHE and 5.5×-9× improvement in photoconversion efficiencies. Ni/CC cathodes were also found to exhibit a lower overpotential@10 mA cm-2 than Ni/Cu by 90 mV. The photocurrent obtained from the ZnO-nr/CC anode was highly stable across an hour and the peak current decreased by only 5% across 5 cycles of illumination, compared to 72% for the planar ZnO-nr/ITO anode. However, the response of the CC-based setups to changes in the illumination conditions was slower, taking hundreds of seconds to reach peak photocurrent, compared to tens of seconds for the planar electrodes. Using cyclic voltammetry, the double-layer capacitance of the electrodes was measured, and it was shown that the increased efficiency of the ZnO-nr/CC anode was due to a 2 order of magnitude increase in electrochemically active sites provided by the copious microfiber surface of the carbon cloth.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemistry represents a promising technique for bioanalysis, though its application for the detection of Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) has not been tapped. Herein, this work reports the exploration of creating oxygen vacancies (Ov) in situ onto the surface of Bi2O2S nanosheets via the attachment of dopamine (DA), which underlies a new anodic PEC sensing strategy for FEN1 detection in label-free, immobilization-free and high-throughput modes. In connection to the target-mediated rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction for modulating the release of the DA aptamer to capture DA, the detection system showed good performance toward FEN1 analysis with a linear detection range of 0.001-10 U/mL and a detection limit of 1.4 × 10-4 U/mL (S/N = 3). This work features the bioreaction engineered surface vacancy effect of Bi2O2S nanosheets as a PEC sensing strategy, which allows a simple, easy to perform, sensitive and selective method for the detection of FEN1. This sensing strategy might have wide applications in versatile bioasssays, considering the diversity of a variety of biological reactions may produce the DA aptamer.

Abstract
Quench-type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensors are appealing for detecting small molecule contaminants in signal-on mode, for which efficient ECL quenchers are highly desirable. Here, the classical quencher of polydopamine (PDA) was transformed into a unique structure by introducing zeolite imidazole frameworks (ZIFs). Besides the inherent energy transfer quenching effect on ECL, the resulting PDA@ZIFs exhibits a high scavenging property against electrogenerated coreactant-radicals and inhibits the formation of excited luminophore. A quench-type ECL immunosensor for ochratoxin A (OTA) was developed using the PDA@ZIFs as a quencher and the g-C3N4 as a luminophore. The immunosensor showed a good response towards the OTA with a linear range of 10.0 fg/mL-1.0 ng/mL and a detection limit of 4.8 fg/mL. Acceptable recoveries of 85.7 to 109.2 % were achieved for the detection of OTA in spiked foods. This work offers valuable insight for improving the performance of quench-typed ECL biosensors.

Abstract
Medical titanium-based (Ti-based) implants in the human body are prone to infection by pathogenic bacteria, leading to implantation failure. Constructing antibacterial nanocoatings on Ti-based implants is one of the most effective strategies to solve bacterial contamination. However, single antibacterial function was not sufficient to efficiently kill bacteria, and it is necessary to develop multifunctional antibacterial methods. This study modifies medical Ti foils with Cu-doped Co3O4 rich in oxygen vacancies, and improves their biocompatibility by polydopamine (PDA/Cu-Ov-Co3O4). Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, nanocoatings can generate •OH and 1O2 due to Cu+ Fenton-like activity and a photodynamic effect of Cu-Ov-Co3O4, and the total reactive oxygen species (ROS) content inside bacteria significantly increases, causing oxidative stress of bacteria. Further experiments prove that the photothermal process enhances the bacterial membrane permeability, allowing the invasion of ROS and metal ions, as well as the protein leakage. Moreover, PDA/Cu-Ov-Co3O4 can downregulate ATP levels and further reduce bacterial metabolic activity after irradiation. This coating exhibits sterilization ability against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with an antibacterial rate of ca. 100%, significantly higher than that of bare medical Ti foils (ca. 0%). Therefore, multifunctional synergistic antibacterial nanocoating will be a promising strategy for preventing bacterial contamination on medical Ti-based implants.

Abstract
Electrochemical paper-based analytical devices represent an important platform for portable, low-cost, affordable, and decentralized diagnostics. For this kind of application, chemical functionalization plays a pivotal role to ensure high clinical performance by tuning surface properties and the area of electrodes. However, controlling different surface properties of electrodes by using a single functionalization route is still challenging. In this work, we attempted to tune the wettability, chemical composition, and electroactive area of carbon-paper-based devices by thermally treating polydopamine (PDA) at different temperatures. PDA films were deposited onto pyrolyzed paper (PP) electrodes and thermally treated in the range of 300-1000 °C. After deposition of PDA, the surface is rich in nitrogen and oxygen, it is superhydrophilic, and it has a high electroactive area. As the temperature increases, the surface becomes hydrophobic, and the electroactive area decreases. The surface modifications were followed by Raman, X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), contact angle, scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS), electrical measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electrochemical experiments. In addition, the chemical composition of nitrogen species can be tuned on the surface. As a proof of concept, we employed PDA-treated surfaces to anchor [AuCl4]- ions. After electrochemical reduction, we observed that it is possible to control the size of the nanoparticles on the surface. Our route opens a new avenue to add versatility to electrochemical interfaces in the field of paper-based electrochemical biosensors.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a technology that enables rapid deposition of biomimetic composite films onto natural enamel slices (known as biotemplates). These films are composed of polydopamine (PDA) and nanocrystalline carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite (nano-cHAp) that have been functionalized with amino acid l-Arginine. We utilized atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) combined with infrared (IR) synchrotron to achieve nanoscale spatial resolution for both IR absorption and topography analyses. This combined analytical modality allowed us to understand how morphology connects to local changes in the chemical environment on the biotemplate surface during the deposition of the bioinspired coating. Our findings revealed that when using the proposed technology and after the deposition of the first PDA layer, the film formed on the enamel surface nearly covers the entire surface of the specimen whose thickness is larger on the surface of the emerging enamel prisms. Calculation of the crystallinity index for the biomimetic layer showed a multiple increase compared with natural enamel. This indicates regular and dense aggregation of nano-cHAp into larger crystals, imitating the morphology of natural enamel rods. The microhardness of the formed PDA-based biomimetic layer mineralized with nano-cHAp functionalized with amino acid l-Arginine deposited on natural enamel was practically the same as that of natural enamel. The characterization of nano-cHAp-amino acid-PDA layers using IR and Raman microspectroscopy showed that l-arginine acts as a conjunction agent in the formation of mineralized biomimetic composite coatings. The uniformity of the mechanisms of PDA layer formation under different deposition conditions and substrate types allows for the formation of coatings regardless of the macro- and micromorphology of the template. Therefore, the results obtained in this work have a high potential for future clinical applications in dental practice.

Abstract
Bimetallic phosphides are considered as promising electrocatalysts for zinc-air batteries toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). To address the semi-conductor inherent low electronic conductivity and catalytic activity, a polymetal-chelated strategy is employed to in situ fabricate bimetallic nanophosphides within carbon matrix anchoring by chemical bonding. The employment of biomolecule polydopamine (PDA) efficiently anchors various transition metal ions due to its strong chelating capability via inherent functional groups. Furthermore, the chelation of multi-metal ion is proved to promote the formation of graphitic nitrogen. The bimetallic FexCoyP phosphides nanoparticles are intimately encapsulated in carbon matrix through in situ carbonization and phosphatization processes. When utilized in Zinc-air batteries, Fe0.20Co0.80P anchored within N, P co-doped sub-microsphere (Fe0.20Co0.80P /PNC) exhibit a maximum power density of 167 mW cm-2 and cycle life up to 270 cycles, with a round-trip voltage of 0.955 V. The mechanisms for catalytic activity passivation are ascribed to the etching of nitrogen and oxidation of phosphorus in carbon matrix, as well as the oxidation of the surface phosphide on the sub-microspheres. This study presents a promising candidate for advancing the further development of energy conversation catalysis.

Abstract
The development of highly effective hemostatic materials with high biocompatibility and outstanding performance is vital to the field of biomaterials. In this study, we develop a hemostatic fiber material that exhibits high biocompatibility and excellent performance. By incorporating polydopamine (PDA) into the alkaline treatment of silk fibroin (SF), we achieve PDA-coated SF fibers with lengths that can be controlled by the alkaline concentration. The PDA coating significantly enhances the hemostatic ability of the silk fibers and exhibits superior performance in both in vitro and ex vivo experiments. By performing animal studies involving a mouse liver puncture model and a femoral vein incision model, we demonstrate the remarkable hemostatic capability of the PDA-coated SF fibers, as evidenced by the lower blood loss compared to that of a commercial hemostat powder. These findings highlight the potential of applying a PDA-assisted alkaline treatment to SF fibers to efficiently create hemostatic fibers with controllable lengths, which would be promising candidates for clinical hemostatic applications.

Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is associated with ocular hyperosmolarity and inflammation. The marketed topical eye drops for DED treatment often lack bioavailability and precorneal residence time. In this study, we investigated catechol-functionalized polyzwitterion p(MPC-co-DMA), composed of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and dopamine methacrylamide (DMA) monomers, as potential topical nanotherapeutics for DED. The copolymers were synthesized via random free-radical copolymerization, producing different proportions of catecholic functionalization. All as-prepared polymer compositions displayed good ocular biocompatibility. At a feeding ratio of 1:1, p(MPC1-co-DMA1) can facilitate a robust mucoadhesion via Michael addition and/or Schiff base reaction, thus prolonging ocular residence time after 4 days of topical instillation. The hydration lubrication of MPC and radical-scavenging DMA endow the nano-agent to ease tear-film hyperosmolarity and corneal inflammation. A single dose of p(MPC1-co-DMA1) (1 mg/mL) after 4 days post-instillation can protect the cornea against reactive oxygen species, inhibiting cell apoptosis and the over-expression of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-6 and TNF-α). In clinical assessment, DED-induced rabbit eyes receiving p(MPC1-co-DMA1) could increase lacrimal fluid secretion by 5-fold higher than cyclosporine A. The catechol-functionalized polyzwitterion with enhanced lubricity, mucoadhesion, and anti-oxidation/anti-inflammation properties has shown high promise as a bioactive eye drop formulation for treating DED.

Abstract
The endotracheal tube (ETT) affords support for intubated patients, but the increasing incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is jeopardizing its application. ETT surfaces promote (poly)microbial colonization and biofilm formation, with a heavy burden for VAP. Devising safe, broad-spectrum antimicrobial materials to tackle the ETT bioburden is needful. Herein, we immobilized ciprofloxacin (CIP) and/or chlorhexidine (CHX), through polydopamine (pDA)-based functionalization, onto poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) surfaces. These surfaces were characterized regarding physicochemical properties and challenged with single and polymicrobial cultures of VAP-relevant bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis) and fungi (Candida albicans). The coatings imparted PVC surfaces with a homogeneous morphology, varied wettability, and low roughness. The antimicrobial immobilization via pDA chemistry was still evidenced by infrared spectroscopy. Coated surfaces exhibited sustained CIP/CHX release, retaining prolonged (10 days) activity. CIP/CHX-coated surfaces evidencing no A549 lung cell toxicity displayed better antibiofilm outcomes than CIP or CHX coatings, preventing bacterial attachment by 4.1-7.2 Log10 CFU/mL and modestly distressingC. albicans. Their antibiofilm effectiveness was endured toward polymicrobial consortia, substantially inhibiting the adhesion of the bacterial populations (up to 8 Log10 CFU/mL) within the consortia in dual- and even inP. aeruginosa/S. aureus/C. albicans triple-species biofilms while affecting fungal adhesion by 2.7 Log10 CFU/mL (dual consortia) and 1 Log10 CFU/mL (triple consortia). The potential of the dual-drug coating strategy in preventing triple-species adhesion and impairing bacterial viability was still strengthened by live/dead microscopy. The pDA-assisted CIP/CHX co-immobilization holds a safe and robust broad-spectrum antimicrobial coating strategy for PVC-ETTs, with the promise laying in reducing VAP incidence.

Abstract
Dynamical control of macrophage polarization from M1 (pro-inflammatory) to M2 (anti-inflammatory) at implant surfaces is essential for balancing innate immunity and tissue repair. In this aspect, the design of orthopedic implant that can response to inflammation microenvironment with transformation in surface properties has shown promising in timely driving M1-to-M2 macrophage transition. Considering excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to macrophage M1 polarization and progression of inflammation, in this study, ferrocene modified polydopamine (PDA-Fc) films were deposited on plasma sprayed Ti coatings to endow the implants with ROS-responsive and -scavenging abilities. Plasma sprayed Ti (PST) coating and PDA modified PST coating (PST/PDA) served as control. The presence of PDA endowed PST/PDA and PST/PDA-Fc with free-radical scavenging abilities. Moreover, PST/PDA-Fc showed adaptive wettability as evidenced by increased hydrophilicity under H2O2 treatment. With respect to PST/PDA, PST/PDA-Fc exerted greater effects on inducing lipopolysaccharides-induced M1 macrophages to adopt M2-type macrophage phenotype, characterized by higher percentage of CD206-positive cells, increased cell elongation rate and higher expression level of anti-inflammatory cytokine arginase type 1. The results obtained in our study may provide a prospective approach for manipulating an appropriate immune response at implant surfaces.

Abstract
Polysaccharide based self-healing and injectable hydrogels with reversible characteristics have widespread potential in protein drug delivery. However, it is a challenge to design the dynamic hydrogel for sequential release of protein drugs. Herein, we developed a novel mussel inspired sequential protein delivery dynamic polysaccharide hydrogel. The nanocomposite hydrogel can be fabricated through doping polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) into reversible covalent bond (imine bonds) crosslinked polymer networks of oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CEC), named PDA NPs@OHA-l-CEC. Besides multiple capabilities (i.e., injection, self-healing, and biodegradability), the nanocomposite hydrogel can achieve sustained and sequential protein delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). PDA NPs doped in hydrogel matrix serve dual roles, acting as secondary protein release structures and form dynamic non-covalent interactions (i.e., hydrogen bonds) with polysaccharides. Moreover, by adjusting the oxidation degree of OHA, the hydrogels with different crosslinking density could control overall protein release rate. Analysis of different release kinetic models revealed that Fickian diffusion drove rapid VEGF release, while the slower BSA release followed a Super Case II transport mechanism. The novel biocompatible system achieved sequential release of protein drugs has potentials in multi-stage synergistic drug deliver based on dynamic hydrogel.

Abstract
Surface modification of membranes is essential for improving flux and resistance to contamination for membranes. This is of great significance for membrane distillation, which relies on the vapor pressure difference across the membrane as the driving force. In recent years, biomimetic mussel-inspired substances have become the research hotspots. Among them, dopamine serves as surface modifiers that would achieve highly desirable and effective membrane applications owing to their unique physicochemical properties, such as universal adhesion, enhanced hydrophilicity, tunable reducibility, and excellent thermal conductivity. The incorporation of a hydrophilic layer, along with the utilization of photothermal properties and post-functionalization capabilities in modified membranes, effectively addresses challenges such as low flux, contamination susceptibility, and temperature polarization during membrane distillation. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is still a lack of comprehensive and in-depth discussions. Therefore, this paper systematically compiles the modification method of dopamine on the membrane surface and summarizes its application and mechanism in membrane distillation for the first time. It is believed that this paper would provide a reference for dopamine-assisted membrane separation during production, and further promote its practical application.

Abstract
The development of green, controllable, and simplified pathways for rapid dopamine polymerization holds significant importance in the field of polydopamine (PDA) surface chemistry. In this study, a green strategy is successfully devised to accelerate and control the polymerization of dopamine through the introduction of ozone (O3 ). The findings reveal that ozone serves as an eco-friendly trigger, significantly accelerating the dopamine polymerization process across a broad pH range, spanning from 4.0 to 10.0. Notably, the deposition rate of PDA coatings on a silicon wafer reaches an impressive value of ≈64.8 nm h-1 (pH 8.5), which is 30 times higher than that of traditional air-assisted PDA and comparable to the fastest reported method. Furthermore, ozone exhibits the ability to accelerate dopamine polymerization even under low temperatures. It also enables control over the inhibition-initiation of the polymerization process by regulating the "ON/OFF" mode of the ozone gas. Moreover, the ozone-induced PDA coatings demonstrate exceptional characteristics, including high homogeneity, good hydrophilicity, and remarkable chemical and mechanical stability. Additionally, the ozone-induced PDA coatings can be rapidly and effectively deposited onto a wide range of substrates, particularly those that are adhesion-resistant, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

Abstract
Degradation of organic coatings is essential for recycling valuable substrates. Despite the development of strategies for this purpose, the resulting degradations are typically constrained by the composition of the coating. This paper presents a simple strategy utilizing radicals induced by UV for the degradation of diverse organic coatings. The sulfate radicals, generated from UV-exposed ammonium persulfates, induce the degradation of various organic coatings, including layer-by-layer assembled coating composed of alginate and chitosan polymers as well as polydopamine coating. This strategy also facilitates the separation of two adhered substrates by degrading the adhesive polymer layer positioned between them. This novel approach enables the complete degradation of various organic coatings in aqueous conditions without imposing restrictions on their composition, leading to the recovery of the original surface properties of the substrate.

Abstract
Low-cost polyamide thin-film composite membranes are being explored as alternatives to expensive cation exchange membranes for seawater electrolysis. However, transport of chloride from seawater to the anode chamber must be reduced to minimize the production of chlorine gas. A double-polyamide composite structure was created that reduced the level of chloride transport. Adding five polyamide layers on the back of a conventional polyamide composite membrane reduced the chloride ion transport by 53% and did not increase the applied voltage. Decreased chloride permeation was attributed to enhanced electrostatic and steric repulsion created by the new polyamide layers. Charge was balanced through increased sodium ion transport (52%) from the anolyte to the catholyte rather than through a change in the transport of protons and hydroxides. As a result, the Nernstian loss arising from the pH difference between the anolyte and catholyte remained relatively constant during electrolysis despite membrane modifications. This lack of a change in pH showed that transport of protons and hydroxides during electrolysis was independent of salt ion transport. Therefore, only sodium ion transport could compensate for the reduction of chloride flux to maintain the set current. Overall, these results prove the feasibility of using a double-polyamide structure to control chloride permeation during seawater electrolysis without sacrificing energy consumption.

SMALL METHODS 2024:e2301405. [PMID: 38168901 DOI: 10.1002/smtd.202301405] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
Currently, the copolymer of dopamine (DA) and pyrrole (PY) via chemical and electrochemical oxidation usually requires additional oxidants, and lacks flexibility in regulating the size and morphology, thereby limiting the broad applications of DA-PY copolymer in biomedicine. Herein, the semiquinone radicals produced by the self-oxidation of DA is ingeniously utilized as the oxidant to initiate the following copolymerization with PY, and a series of quinone-rich polydopamine-pyrrole copolymers (PDAm -nPY) with significantly enhanced absorption in near-infrared (NIR) region without any additional oxidant assistance is obtained. Moreover, the morphology and size of PDAm -nPY can be regulated by changing the concentration of DA and PY, thereby optimizing nanoscale PDA0.05 -0.15PY particles (≈ 150 nm) with excellent NIR absorption and surface modification activity are successfully synthesized. Such PDA0.05 -0.15PY particles show effective photoacoustic (PA) imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) against 4T1 tumors in vivo. Furthermore, other catechol derivatives can also copolymerize with PY under the same conditions. This work by fully utilizing the semiquinone radical active intermediates produced through the self-oxidation of DA reduces the dependence on external oxidants in the synthesis of composite materials and predigests the preparation procedure, which provides a novel, simple, and green strategy for the synthesis of other newly catechol-based functional copolymers.

Abstract
Sports-related damage is a prevalent issue, which a combination therapy including photothermal irradiation, self-healing dressing and antibacterial treatment is an effective way to rehabilitate it. In the study, a multifunctional hydrogel was developed to meet the requirement. Firstly, mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) was prepared, where gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were formed in its mesoporous structure, to construct Au@MPDA NPs with nanosize about 200 nm. Synergetic and efficient photothermal effect was achieved by the combination of the two photothermal agents. The Au@MPDA NPs were then added to modify polyvinyl alcohol-carboxymethyl chitosan-borax (PCB) hydrogel. Via rheological property characterization, cell experiments and antibacterial evaluation, high photothermal efficiency and effective antibacterial activity of Au@MPDA@PCB hydrogel was obtained with the aid of Au@MPDA NPs, together with self-healing property. When treated in motion-related tissue, the modified hydrogel showed excellent adaptive property and photothermal effect in situ. This study is beneficial for developing a novel rehabilitation treatment strategy for sports-related injuries.

Abstract
Developing a flexible temperature sensor with appreciable sensitivity is critical for advancing research related to flexible electronics. Although various flexible sensors are available commercially, most such temperature sensors are made from polymeric materials obtained from petrochemical resources. Such sensors will contribute to electronic waste and increase the carbon footprint after usage. While there are reports on various sensors made from sustainable polymers, research related to developing self-healable flexible temperature sensors made from sustainable polymers is significantly less. Herein, we report on developing a flexible temperature sensor made of gallic acid-grafted epoxidized natural rubber and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Various spectroscopic and thermal techniques vetted the modification of the epoxidized natural rubber. The highest grafting of 20.9% was achieved in the selected window of stoichiometry. A self-healing behavior was achieved by leveraging the FeCl3 based metal-ligand crosslinking of the composite. The healing efficiency was noted to be 31.2% for the composite material. The fabricated sensor demonstrated an electrical resistance of 4.46 × 103 Ω, thereby warranting the composite to demonstrate an Ohmic behavior in the I-V plot. Appropriate data fitting suggested a variable range hopping mechanism as causation towards excellent electrical conduction. The temperature sensitivity and the thermal index of the developed sensor were noted to be -0.17% °C-1 and 781.2 K, respectively, in the temperature range of 30 °C to 50 °C. The proposed method of fabricating sustainable, high-strength, self-healable, and robust temperature sensors and conductors is a unique and value-added approach for next-generation flexible electronics.

Abstract
Marine biofouling is a thorny issue that causes serious economic losses and adverse ecological impacts on marine ecosystems. Effective and promising antifouling strategies such as surface hydration, flow shear force, and lubricant injection have been developed to address this challenge. However, for the complex marine environment, they still appear inadequate. Mussels are a common fouling organism with strong surface adhesion ability. However, when hypoxia and the oxidative cross-linking reaction of 3,4-dihydroxy phenyl-L-alanine (DOPA) in the structure of adhesion proteins are disrupted, their adhesion ability will be greatly reduced. Inspired by this, we developed an effective antifouling strategy based on reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging using N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and evaluated its performance. As a ROS scavenger interfered with the oxidative cross-linking reaction of DOPA in an aqueous solution, the adhesion of DOPA was also affected on the surface of NAC functionalized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (PVC-NAC). In addition, the colonization level of mussels and the adhesion rate of marine bacteria and benthic diatoms on PVC-NAC were low. The antifouling strategy proposed in this paper was eco-friendly and broad-spectrum, and may provide a new idea for solving marine biofouling and reducing the environmental and economic impacts of fouling organisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The first-pass complete recanalization by mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for the treatment of stroke remains limited due to the poor integration of the clot within current devices. Aspiration can help retrieval of the main clot but fails to prevent secondary embolism in the distal arterial territory. The dense meshes of extracellular DNA, recently described in stroke-related clots, might serve as an anchoring platform for MT devices. We aimed to evaluate the potential of a DNA-reacting surface to aid the retention of both the main clot and small fragments within the thrombectomy device to improve the potential of MT procedures. METHODS Device-suitable alloy samples were coated with 15 different compounds and put in contact with extracellular DNA or with human peripheral whole blood, to compare their binding to DNA versus blood elements in vitro. Clinical-grade MT devices were coated with two selected compounds and evaluated in functional bench tests to study clot retrieval efficacy and quantify distal emboli using an M1 occlusion model. RESULTS Binding properties of samples coated with all compounds were increased for DNA (≈3-fold) and decreased (≈5-fold) for blood elements, as compared with the bare alloy samples in vitro. Functional testing showed that surface modification with DNA-binding compounds improved clot retrieval and significantly reduced distal emboli during experimental MT of large vessel occlusion in a three-dimensional model. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that clot retrieval devices coated with DNA-binding compounds can considerably improve the outcome of the MT procedures in stroke patients.

Abstract
The detection of human motion and sweat composition are important for human health or sports training, so it is necessary to develop flexible sensors for monitoring exercise processes and sweat detection. Mussel secretion of adhesion proteins enables self-healing of byssus and adhesion to surfaces. We prepared Au nanoparticles@polydopamine (AuNPs@PDA) nanomaterials based on mussel-inspired chemistry and compounded them with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels to obtain PVA/AuNPs@PDA self-healing nanocomposite hydrogels. Dopamine (DA) was coated on the surface of AuNPs to obtain AuNPs based composite (AuNPs@PDA) and the AuNPs@PDA was implanted into the PVA hydrogels to obtain nanocomposite hydrogel through facile freeze-thaw cycle. Glucose oxidase (GOD) was added to the hydrogel matrix to achieve specific detection of glucose in sweat. The obtained hydrogels exhibit high deformability (573.7 %), excellent mechanical strength (550.3 KPa) and self-healing properties (85.1 %). The PVA/AuNPs@PDA hydrogel sensors exhibit quick response time (185.0 ms), wide strain sensing range (0-500 %), superior stability and anti-fatigue properties in motion detection. The detection of glucose had wide concentration detection range (1.0 μmol/L-200.0 μmol/L), low detection limits (0.9 μmol/L) and high sensitivity (24.4 μA/mM). This work proposes a reference method in dual detection of human exercise and sweat composition analysis.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) as a melanin-like biomimetic material with excellent biocompatibility, full spectrum light absorption capacity and antioxidation property has been extensively applied in the biomedical field. Based on the high reactivity of dopamine (DA), exploiting new strategies to fabricate novel PDA-based nano-biomaterials with controllable size and improved performance is valuable and desirable. Herein, we reported a facile way to synthesize pyrrole-doped polydopamine-pyrrole nanoparticles (PDA-nPY NPs) with tunable size and enhanced near-infrared (NIR) absorption capacity through self-oxidative polymerization of DA with PY in an alkaline ethanol/H2O/NH4OH solution. The PDA-nPY NPs maintain excellent biocompatibility and surface reactivity as PDA. By regulating the volume of added PY, PDA-150PY NPs with a smaller size (<100 nm) and four-fold higher absorption intensity at 808 nm than that of PDA can be successfully fabricated. In vitro and in vivo experiments effectively further demonstrate that PDA-150PY NPs can effectively inhibit tumor growth and completely thermally ablate a tumor. It is believed that these PY doped PDA-nPY NPs can be a potential photothermal (PT) agent in biomedical application.

Abstract
This work addresses the critical need for multifunctional materials and substrate-independent high-precision surface modification techniques that are essential for advancing microdevices and sensing elements. To overcome existing limitations, the versatility of mussel-inspired materials (MIMs) is combined with state-of-the-art multiphoton direct laser writing (DLW) microfabrication. In this way, 2D and 3D MIM microstructures of complex designs are demonstrated with sub-micron to micron resolution and extensive post-functionalization capabilities. This study includes polydopamine (PDA), mussel-inspired linear, and dendritic polyglycerols (MI-lPG and MI-dPG), allowing their direct microstructure on the substrate of choice with the option to tailor the patterned topography and morphology in a controllable manner. The functionality potential of MIMs is demonstrated by successfully immobilizing and detecting single-stranded DNA on MIM micropattern and nanoarray surfaces. In addition, easy modification of MIM microstructure with silver nanoparticles without the need of any reducing agent is shown. The methodology developed here enables the integration of MIMs in advanced applications where precise surface functionalization is essential.

Abstract
Hydrogels' exceptional mechanical strength and skin-adhesion characteristics offer significant advantages for various applications, particularly in the fields of tissue adhesion and wearable sensors. Herein, we incorporated a combination of metal-coordination and hydrogen-bonding forces in the design of stretchable and adhesive hydrogels. We synthesized four hydrogels, namely PAID-0, PAID-1, PAID-2, and PAID-3, consisting of acrylamide (AAM), N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA), and methacrylic-modified dopamine (DA). The impact of different ratios of iron (III) ions to DA on each hydrogel's performance was investigated. Our results demonstrate that the incorporation of iron-dopamine complexes significantly enhances the mechanical strength of the hydrogel. Interestingly, as the DA content increased, we observed a continuous and substantial improvement in both the stretchability and skin adhesiveness of the hydrogel. Among the hydrogels tested, PAID-3, which exhibited optimal mechanical properties, was selected for adhesion testing on various materials. Impressively, PAID-3 demonstrated excellent adhesion to diverse materials and, combined with the low cytotoxicity of PAID hydrogel, holds great promise as an innovative option for biomedical engineering applications.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 649:510-518. [PMID: 37356152 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.06.091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/27/2023]
Abstract
Electrochromic materials (ECMs) could exhibit reversible color changes upon application of the external electric field, which exhibits huge application prospects in smart windows, energy storage devices, and displays. For the practical application of ECMs, the fast response speed and long cyclic stability are urgent. In this work, the nanoporous Sm-doped WO3 (WSm) films were constructed using hydrothermal technology, then polydopamine (PDA) was modified on the surface of WSm film to obtain the WSm/Px (x = 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0) hybrid films. WSm/Px hybrid films displayed high optical contrast and large areal capacitance. In addition, in comparison with WSm film, the WSm/Px hybrid films exhibited faster response speed and better cyclic stability because PDA film enhanced the interface ion transport ability and electrochemical structural stability of the nanoporous WSm film. Notably, the WSm/P1.0 hybrid film displayed the colored/bleached times of 7.4/2.9 s, retained 90.2% of the primitive optical contrast (68.5%) after 5000 electrochromic cycles. Furthermore, the areal capacitance of WSm film could be increased by 224% through the modification of the PDA. Therefore, WSm/Px hybrid films are great prospects for electrochromic energy-saving and storage windows.

A new multimodal magnetic nanozyme and a reusable peroxymonosulfate oxidation catalyst: Manganese oxide coated-monodisperse-porous and magnetic core-shell microspheres. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 341:140034. [PMID: 37659514 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
Monodisperse-porous, polydopamine and manganese oxide coated, core-shell type, magnetic SiO2 (MagSiO2@PDA@MnO2) microspheres 6.4 μm in size were synthesized for the first time, using magnetic, monodisperse-porous SiO2 (MagSiO2) microspheres 6.2 μm in size as the starting material. MagSiO2 microspheres were obtained by a recently developed method namely "staged shape templated hydrolysis and condensation protocol". In the synthesis, MagSiO2 microspheres were consecutively coated by polydopamine (PDA) and then by a MnO2 layer in the aqueous medium. The pore volume and the specific surface area of monodisperse-porous MagSiO2@PDA@MnO2 microspheres were measured as 0.59 cm3 g-1 and 154 m2 g-1, respectively. Their Mn and Fe contents were determined as 66 ± 1 mg g-1 and 165 ± 5 mg g-1 respectively. MagSiO2@PDA@MnO2 microspheres exhibited multimodal enzyme mimetic behavior with highly superior catalase-like, oxidase-like and peroxidase-like activities. The effective production of singlet oxygen (1O2) and superoxide anion (O2-*) radicals in MagSiO2@PDA@MnO2-peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system was demonstrated by ESR spectroscopy. By evaluating this property, MagSiO2@PDA@MnO2 microspheres were tried as a reusable catalyst for dye removal via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation in batch experiments for the first time. The degradation runs were made with, rhodamine B (Rh B), methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) as the pollutant. The core-shell type design allowing the deposition of porous MnO2 layer onto a large surface area provided very fast, instant removals with all dyes, via both physical adsorption and degradation via PMS activation. In the reusability experiments, the removal yields of MO and Rh B decreased 1.8% and 8.9% over five consecutive runs in batch fashion. MagSiO2@PDA@MnO2 microspheres exhibited very good functional and structural stability in consecutive dye degradations. No significant change was observed in Fe content of microspheres while Mn content exhibited a decrease of 7.4% w/w over 5 consecutive degradation runs.

Abstract
The membranes that accurately separate solutes with close molecular weights in harsh solvents are of crucial importance for the development of highly-precise organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN). The physicochemical structures of the membrane need to be rationally designed to achieve this goal, such as customized crosslinked networks, thickness, and pore size. Herein, we synthesize a type of covalent organic polymer (COP) nanofilms with tailor-made thickness and pore structure using a cyclic deposition strategy for precise molecular sieving. By elaborately designing monomer structures and controlling deposition cycle numbers, the COP nanofilms linked by robust β-ketoenamine blocks were endowed with sub-nanometer micropores and a linearly tunable thickness of 10-40 nm. The composite membranes integrating COP nanofilms exhibited adjustable solvent permeance. The membranes further demonstrated steep and finely-regulated rejection curves within the molecular weight range of 200 to 400 Da, where the difference value was as low as 40 Da. The efficient purification and concentration of the antibacterial drug and its intermediate was well achieved. Therefore, the exploited COP nanofilms markedly facilitate the application of microporous organic polymers for precise molecular separation in OSN.

Abstract
We report on the synthesis of β-cyclodextrin (βCD) modified graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, having different sized alkyl linkers (GO-Cn -βCD) and their exploitation as sorbent of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from drinking water. βCD were functionalized with a pending amino group, and the resulting precursors grafted to GO nanosheets by epoxide ring opening reaction. Loading of βCD units in the range 12 %-36 % was estimated by combined XPS and elemental analysis. Adsorption tests on perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), a particularly persistent PFAS selected as case study, revealed a strong influence of the alkyl linker length on the adsorption efficiency, with the hexyl linker derivative GO-C6 -βCD outperforming both pristine GO and granular activated carbon (GAC), the standard sorbent benchmark. Molecular dynamic simulations ascribed this evidence to the favorable orientation of the βCD unit on the surface of GO which enables a strong contaminant molecules retention.

Abstract
In order to improve the initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) and cycle performance of SiO, in this study, the disproportionation reaction of commercial SiO is performed with the assistance of Na2CO3 under high temperatures. A polydopamine-based carbon is then in situ formed on the surface of the mixture (d-SiO-G) of disproportionated-SiO and graphite. It is found that an appropriate amount of Na2CO3 can effectively enhance the ICE of the commercial SiO due to the formation of Si, SiO2, and silicate; the mass ratio of d-SiO-G to the dopamine monomer is the important factor in influencing the cycling stability of the d-SiO-G@C composite. Due to the synergistic effect of graphite and the polydopamine-based carbon layer, the ICE for the d-SiO-G@C composite is 72.6%, and its capacity retention reaches 86.2% after 300 cycles, which is 11% higher than that of d-SiO-G. The modification method is an effective strategy for SiO materials in commercial applications.

Abstract
MXene is an incredibly promising two-dimensional material with immense potential to serve as a high-performing separating or barrier layer to develop advanced membranes. Despite the significant progress made in MXene membranes, two major challenges still exist: (i) effectively stacking MXene nanosheets into defect-free membranes and (ii) the high fouling tendency of MXene-based membranes. To address these issues, we employed sulfonated polydopamine (SPD), which simultaneously serves as a binding agent to promote the compact assembling of Ti3C2Tx MXenes (MX) nanosheets and improves the antifouling properties of the resulting sulfonated polydopamine-functionalized MX (SPDMX) membranes. The SPDMX membrane was tested for challenging surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water separation with an impressive efficiency of 98%. Moreover, an ultrahigh permeability of 1620 LMH/bar was also achieved. The sulfonation of PD helps in improving the antifouling characteristics of SPDMX by developing a strong hydration layer and enhancing the oleophobicity of the membrane. The underwater SPDMX membrane appeared superoleophobic with an oil contact angle of 153°, whereas the ceramic membrane exhibited an oil contact angle of 137°. The SPDMX membranes showed an improved flux recovery (31%) compared to the nonsulfonated counterpart. This work highlights the appropriate functionalization of MXene as a promising approach to developing MXene membranes with high permeation flux and better antifouling characteristics for oily wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The development of near-infrared light responsive conductive polymers provides a useful theranostic platform for malignant tumors by maximizing spatial resolution with deep tissue penetration for diagnosis and photothermal therapy. Herein, the self-assembly of ultrathin 2D polypyrrole nanosheets utilizing dopamine as a capping agent and a monolayer of octadecylamine as a template is demonstrated. The 2D polypyrrole-polydopamine nanostructure has tunable size distribution which shows strong absorption in the first and second near-infrared windows, enabling photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. The hybrid double-layer is demonstrated to increase Raman intensity for 3D Raman imaging (up to two orders of magnitude enhancement and spatial resolution up to 1 µm). The acidic environment drives reversible doping of polypyrrole, which can be detected by Raman spectroscopy. The combined properties of the nanosheets can substantially enhance performance in dual-mode Raman and photoacoustic guided photothermal therapy, as shown by the 69% light to heat conversion efficiency and higher cytotoxicity against cancer spheroids. These pH-responsive features highlight the potential of 2D conductive polymers for applications in accurate, highly efficient theranostics.

Abstract
Biofoulants can adhere to multiple surfaces, degrading the performance of medical devices and industrial facilities and/or causing nosocomial infection. The surface immobilization of zwitterionic materials can prevent the initial attachment of the foulants but lacks extensive implementation. Herein, we propose a facile, universal, two-step surface modification strategy to improve fouling resistance. In the first step, the substrates were immersed in a codeposition solution containing dopamine and branched polyethylenimine (PEI) to form a "primer" layer (PDA/PEI). In the second step, the primer layers were treated with 1,3-propane sultone to betainize primary/secondary/tertiary amine moieties of PEI, generating zwitterions on substrates. After betainization, PS-grafted PDA/PEI (PDA/PEI/S) via a ring-opening alkylation reaction manifested changes in wettability. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the presence of zwitterionic moieties on the PDA/PEI/S surfaces. Further investigations using ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy were conducted to scrutinize the relation among the PEI content, film thickness, primer stability, and betainization. As a result, zwitterion-decorated substrates prepared under optimal conditions can exhibit high resistance against bacterial fouling, achieving a 98.5% reduction in bacterial attachment. In addition, the method shows a substrate-independent property, capable of successfully applying it on organic and inorganic substrates. Finally, the newly developed approach shows excellent biocompatibility, displaying no significant difference compared with blank control samples. Overall, we envision that the facile surface modification strategy can further promote the preparation of zwitterion-decorated materials in the future.

Abstract
Zwitterionic hydrogels have received considerable attention owing to their characteristic structures and integrating multifunctionality. However, the superhydrophilicity-induced poor mechanical properties severely hinder their potential applications. Besides, from the perspective of wide applications, zwitterionic hydrogels with integrated high mechanical properties, conductivity and multifunctionalities including self-adhesive, self-healing, and photothermal properties are highly desirable yet challenging. Herein, a new class of high-performance and multifunctional zwitterionic hydrogels are designed based on the incorporation of polydopamine-coated liquid metal nanoparticles (LM@PDA). Due to the efficient energy dissipation endowed by the isotropically extensible deformation of LM@PDA and the multiple interactions within the hydrogel matrix, the resultant hydrogels exhibited ultrahigh robustness with tensile strength of up to 1.3 MPa, strain of up to 1555% and toughness of up to 7.3 MJ m-3, superior or comparable to those of most zwitterionic hydrogels. The introduced LM@PDA also endows the hydrogels with high conductivity, versatile adhesion, autonomous self-healing, excellent injectability, three-dimensional printability, degradability, and photothermal conversion performance. These preferable properties enable the hydrogels promising as wearable sensors with multiple sensory capabilities for a wide range of strain values (1-500%), pressures (0.5-200 kPa) and temperatures (20-80 °C) with an impressive temperature coefficient of resistance (up to 0.15 °C-1). Moreover, these hydrogels can be also applied as solar evaporators with a high water evaporation rate (up to 2.42 kg m-2 h-1) and solar-thermal conversion efficiency (up to 90.3%) for solar desalination and wastewater purification. The present work can pave the way for the future development of zwitterionic hydrogels and beyond.

Abstract
Protecting surfaces from biofilm formation presents a significant challenge in the biomedical field. The utilization of antimicrobial component-conjugated nanoparticles is becoming an attractive strategy against infectious biofilms. Boron nitride (BN) nanomaterials have a unique biomedical application value due to their excellent biocompatibility. Here, we developed antibiotic-loaded BN nanoconjugates to combat bacterial biofilms. Antibiofilm testing included two types of pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Gentamicin was loaded on polydopamine-modified BN nanoparticles (GPBN) to construct a nanoconjugate, which was very effective in killing E. coli and S. aureus planktonic cells. GPBN exhibited equally strong capacity for biofilm destruction, tested on preformed biofilms. A 24 h treatment with the nanoconjugate reduced cell viability by more than 90%. Our results suggest that GPBN adheres to the surface of the biofilm, penetrates inside the biofilm matrix, and finally deactivates the cells. Interestingly, the GPBN coatings also strongly inhibited the formation of bacterial biofilms. Based on these results, we suggest that GPBN could serve as an effective means for treating biofilm-associated infections and as coatings for biofilm prevention.

Abstract
Membrane separation technology is considered an effective strategy to remove pollutants in sewage. However, it remains a significant challenge to fabricate inexpensive membranes with high purification efficiency. Therefore, the present study proposes the integration of silk nanofibrils (SNFs) and polydopamine⊂metal-organic framework (PDA⊂MOF) nanoparticles to prepare self-supporting membranes, which can effectively intercept nanoparticle pollutants through the size exclusion effect and can strongly adsorb organic dyes and metal ions by SNF. In addition, PDA⊂MOF enables these membranes to adsorb small molecules and heavy metal ions during the filtration process, thereby effectively removing various pollutants from sewage. The integration of size-exclusion and adsorption capabilities enables the SNF/PDA⊂MOF membrane to remove nanoparticles, small-molecule dyes, heavy metal ions, and radioactive elements. This work provides a rational approach for the design and development of the next generation of water treatment membranes and is expected to be used in environmental, food-related, and biomedical fields.

Abstract
In 2007, polydopamine (PDA) films were shown to be formed spontaneously on the surface of all known classes of materials by simply dipping those substrates in an aerated dopamine solution at pH = 8.5 in the presence of Tris(hydroxymethyl) amino methane buffer. This universal deposition method has raised a burst of interest in surface science, owing not only to the universality of this water based one pot deposition method but also to the ease of secondary modifications. Since then, PDA films and particles are shown to have applications in energy conversion, water remediation systems, and last but not least in bioscience. The deposition of PDA films from aerated dopamine solutions is however a slow and inefficient process at ambient temperature with most of the formed material being lost as a precipitate. This incited to explore the possibility to get PDA and related films based on other catecholamines, using other oxidants than dissolved oxygen and other deposition methods. Those alternatives to get PDA and related films are reviewed and compared in this paper. It will appear that many more investigations are required to get better insights in the relationships between the preparation method of PDA and the properties of the obtained coatings.

Abstract
Scaffold-based tissue engineering is a promising strategy to address the rapidly growing demand for bone implants, but developing scaffolds with bone extracellular matrix-like structures, suitable mechanical properties, and multiple biological activities remains a huge challenge. Here, it is aimed to develop a wood-derived composite scaffold with an anisotropic porous structure, high elasticity, and good antibacterial, osteogenic, and angiogenic activities. First, natural wood is treated with an alkaline solution to obtain a wood-derived scaffold with an oriented cellulose skeleton and high elasticity, which can not only simulate collagen fiber skeleton in bone tissue but also greatly improve the convenience of clinical implantation. Subsequently, chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (CQS) and dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) are further modified on the wood-derived elastic scaffold through a polydopamine layer. Among them, CQS endows the scaffold with good antibacterial activity, while DMOG significantly improves the scaffold's osteogenic and angiogenic activities. Interestingly, the mechanical characteristics of the scaffolds and the modified DMOG can synergistically enhance the expression of yes-associated protein/transcriptional co-activator with PDZ binding motif signaling pathway, thereby effectively promoting osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, this wood-derived composite scaffold is expected to have potential application in the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
The creation of buffer (hybrid) layers that provide improved adhesion to two heterogeneous materials is a promising and high-priority research area in the field of dental materials science. In our work, using FTIR and Raman microspectroscopy at the submicron level in a system of dental composites/intact dental enamel, we assessed the molecular features of formation and chemically visualized the hybrid interface formed on the basis of a nature-like adhesive, polydopamine (PDA). It is shown that a homogeneous bioinspired PDA-hybrid interface with an increased content of O-Ca-O bonds can be created using traditional methods of dental tissue pretreatment (diamond micro drilling, acid etching), as well as the subsequent alkalinization procedure and the developed synthesis technology. The development of the proposed technology for accelerated deposition of PDA-hybrid layers, as well as the creation of self-assembled biomimetic nanocomposites with antibacterial properties, may in the future find clinical application for minimally invasive dental restoration procedures.

Abstract
Control over adhesion at interfaces from strong bonding to release between thermoplastic polymers (TPs) and metal oxides is highly significant for polymer composites. In this work, we showcase a simple and inexpensive method to tune adhesion between a TP of growing interest, poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and two commercial metal alloys, based on titanium and stainless steel. This is realized by coating titanium and stainless steel wires with polydopamine (PDA), thermally treating them under vacuum at temperatures ranging from 25 to 250 °C, and then comolding them with PLA to form pullout specimens for adhesion tests. Pullout results indicate that PDA coatings treated at low temperatures up to a given threshold significantly improve adhesion between PLA and the metals. Conversely, at higher PDA annealing temperatures beyond the threshold, interfacial bonding gradually declines. The excellent control over interfacial adhesion is attributed to the thermally induced transformation of PDA. In this work, we show using thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and 13C solid-state NMR that the extent of the thermal transformation is dependent on the annealing temperature. By selecting the annealing temperature, we vary the concentration of primary amine and hydroxyl groups in PDA, which influences adhesion at the metal/PLA interface. We believe that these findings contribute to optimizing and broadening the applications of PDA in composite materials.

Abstract
The ability to tailor polymer brush coatings to the last nanometer has arguably placed them among the most powerful surface modification techniques currently available. Generally, the synthesis procedures for polymer brushes are designed for a specific surface type and monomer functionality and cannot be easily employed otherwise. Herein, we describe a modular and straightforward two-step grafting-to approach that allows introduction of polymer brushes of a desired functionality onto a large range of chemically different substrates. To illustrate the modularity of the procedure, gold, silicon oxide (SiO2), and polyester-coated glass substrates were modified with five different block copolymers. In short, the substrates were first modified with a universally applicable poly(dopamine) primer layer. Subsequently, a grafting-to reaction was performed on the poly(dopamine) films using five distinct block copolymers, all of which contained a short poly(glycidyl methacrylate) segment and longer segment of varying chemical functionality. Ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and static water contact angle measurements confirmed successful grafting of all five block copolymers to the poly(dopamine)-modified gold, SiO2, and polyester-coated glass substrates. In addition, our method was used to provide direct access to binary brush coatings, by simultaneous grafting of two different polymer materials. The ability to synthesize binary brush coatings further adds to the versatility of our approach and paves the way toward production of novel multifunctional and responsive polymer coatings.

Abstract
Fouling-resistant surfaces are needed for various environmental applications. Inspired by superhydrophilic N-oxide-based osmolytes in saltwater fish, we demonstrate the use of a trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) analogue for constructing fouling-resistant surfaces. The readily synthesized N-oxide monomer of methacrylamide is grafted to filtration membrane surfaces by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). Successful grafting of the amine N-oxide brush layer as confirmed by material characterization endows the surface with increased hydrophilicity, reduced charge, and decreased roughness. Notably, the introduction of the N-oxide layer does not compromise transport properties, i.e., water permeability and water-salt selectivity. Moreover, the modified membrane exhibits improved antifouling properties with a lower flux decline (32.1%) and greater fouling reversibility (18.55%) than the control sample (45.4% flux decline and 3.26% fouling reversibility). We further evaluate foulant-membrane interaction using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to relate the reduced fouling tendency to the synergic effects of surface characteristic changes after amine N-oxide modification. Our results demonstrate the promise and potential of the N-oxide-based polymer brushes for the design of fouling resistance surfaces for a variety of emerging environmental applications.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) colloidal systems can directly respond to environmental stimuli such as pH, ionic strength, and light by themselves, but not to temperature. Here we show that surface modification of rGO with polydopamine (PDA) leads to a temperature-responsive composite material, even though neither rGO nor PDA have intrinsic temperature responsiveness. Reducing GO with dopamine results in rGO/PDA flakes with hydrophilic PDA clusters attached to hydrophobic rGO domains, which mimics the amphiphilic structure of temperature responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). The rGO/PDA flakes self-assemble at temperature higher than 30 °C, causing flake aggregation and precipitation in suspensions with concentration of 0.05 g L-1, which is reversible upon cooling, shaking, and re-heating. A solution-to-gelation transition occurs upon heating suspensions with concentration of 10 g L-1. Nacre-like films and porous monoliths are obtained by drying rGO/PDA suspensions at different concentrations. Films and porous monoliths obtained by drying suspensions that are previously self-assembled through heat have more compact structures compared to those obtained with suspensions that are not heated. Overall, this work introduces the concept of supramolecular temperature responsive assembly of nanomaterials (STRAN), i.e., that temperature response can be introduced in nanomaterials by combining non-responsive components that function cooperatively in supramolecules, whose interactions with solvents can be modulated by temperature changes, mimicking what happens in macromolecular systems such as PNIPAM. STRAN could be applied to nanomaterials beyond GO to develop responsive systems whose self-assembly in suspension and architectural features realized upon drying can be controlled by temperature.

Abstract
In this work, a facile method for synthesis of flower-like sandwich-structured molecularly imprinted polymers (NiO@PDA/MIPs) was proposed for protein recognition. Polydopamine modified flower-like NiO was used as substrate to immobilize the target protein (ovalbumin, OVA), and dopamine was utilized as functional monomer to form the imprinted layer. The whole preparation process was conducted in aqueous solution at room temperature. The key preparation conditions were studied systematically. Owing to the large surface-to-volume of the flower-like structure and the multifunctional groups on the polydopamine layer, the NiO@PDA/MIPs showed large binding capacity (143.2 mg/g), efficient adsorption kinetics (60 min) and excellent selectivity toward OVA. Meanwhile, the NiO@PDA/MIPs possessed satisfactory stability and reusability. Finally, successful capture of OVA from egg white suggested its potential value in practical applications.

Abstract
Coating all portions of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit with materials exhibiting inherent, permanent antithrombotic properties is an essential step to prevent thrombus-induced complications. However, developing antithrombotic coatings for oxygenator fibers within membrane oxygenators of ECMO systems has proven challenging. We have used polydopamine (PDA) to coat oxygenator fibers and immobilize a Cu-based metal-organic framework (MOF) on the surface to act as a nitric oxide (NO) catalyst. Importantly, the PDA/MOF coating will produce NO indefinitely from endogenous S-nitrosothiols and it has not previously been applied to ECMO oxygenator fibers.

Abstract
Polydopamine fluorescent organic nanomaterials present unique physicochemical and biological properties, which have great potential application in bio-imaging and chemical sensors. Here, folic acid (FA) adjustive polydopamine (PDA) fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FA-PDA FONs) were prepared by a facile one-pot self-polymerization strategy using dopamine (DA) and FA as precursors under mild conditions. The as-prepared FA-PDA FONs had an average size of 1.9 ± 0.3 nm in diameter with great aqueous dispersibility, and the FA-PDA FONs solution exhibit intense blue fluorescence under 365 nm UV lamp, and the quantum yield is ~8.27%. The FA-PDA FONs could be stable in a relatively wide pH range and high ionic strength salt solution, and the fluorescence intensities are constant. More importantly, here we developed a method for rapidly selective and sensitive detection of mercury ions (Hg2+) within 10 s using FA-PDA FONs based probe, the fluorescence intensities of FA-PDA FONs presented a great linear relationship to Hg2+ concentration, the linear range and limit of detection (LOD) were 0-18 µM and 0.18 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the feasibility of the developed Hg2+ sensor was verified by determination of Hg2+ in mineral water and tap water samples with satisfactory results.
