Polydopamine‐Mediated Grafting of Cationic Polymer Brushes for Adsorption of Fluorinated Compounds

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We introduce a versatile approach to fabricate tunable charged interfaces by functionalizing stonewool fibers with a polydopamine (PDA)–quaternary amine coating via a grafting‐to method. The modified surfaces exhibit rapid, concentration‐dependent adsorption of anionic species driven by electrostatic interactions.
