Article Synopsis
- The morphology and physicochemical properties of polydopamine are influenced by the solvent used during its polymerization, leading to diverse features based on whether sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, PBS, or Tris is chosen.*
-
- Research indicates that polydopamine films created in Tris and NaOH solvents have enhanced antibacterial properties against common bacteria like E. coli and S. aureus, largely due to the incorporation of -OH groups during the polymerization process.*
-
- Various analytical techniques like contact angle measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy support these findings, shedding light on the formation mechanisms and the resulting controlled antibacterial and antifouling properties of polydopamine coatings.*
