High Relaxivity Gadolinium‐Polydopamine Nanoparticles

open access: yesSmall, 2017
AbstractThis study reports the preparation of a series of gadolinium‐polydopamine nanoparticles (GdPD‐NPs) with tunable metal loadings. GdPD‐NPs are analyzed by nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion and with a 7‐tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner.

Direct Evidence for the Polymeric Nature of Polydopamine [PDF]

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, 2018
AbstractInspired by the adhesive proteins of mussels, polydopamine (pDA) has emerged as one of the most widely employed materials for surface functionalization. Despite numerous attempts at characterization, little consensus has emerged regarding whether pDA is a covalent polymer or a noncovalent aggregate of low molecular weight species.

Design dopamine-modified polypropylene fibers towards removal of heavy metal ions from water

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2017
A simple approach to preparing dopamine-modified polypropylene fibers with a controllable polydopamine amount is supplied. By the dopamine modification, the hydrophobic polypropylene fibers have been changed into hydrophilic.

Polydopamine Copolymers for Stable Drug Nanoprecipitation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Polydopamine (PDA), a biomaterial inspired by marine mussels, has attracted interest in cancer nanomedicine due to its photothermal properties, nanoparticle coating, and pi-pi stacking-based drug encapsulation abilities. Despite numerous one-pot and post-polymerization modifications, PDA copolymers have not been sufficiently studied in the context of ...

Polydopamine-Stabilized Aluminum Nanocrystals: Aqueous Stability and Benzo[a]pyrene Detection

open access: yes, 2019
Aluminum nanocrystals have emerged as an earth-abundant material for plasmonics applications. Al nanocrystals readily oxidize in aqueous-based solutions, however, transforming into highly stratified γ-AlOOH nanoparticles with a 700% increase in surface ...
