Polydopamine (PDA) coating provides a promising approach for immobilization of biomolecules onto almost all kinds of solid substrates. However, the deposition kinetics of PDA coating as a function of temperature and reaction method is not well elucidated. Since dopamine self-polymerization usually takes a long time, therefore, rapid-formation of PDA film becomes imperative for surface modification of biomaterials and medical devices. In the present study, a practical method for preparation of rapidly-deposited PDA coating was developed using a uniquely designed device, and the kinetics of dopamine self-polymerization was investigated by QCM sensor system. It was found that high temperature and vigorous stirring could dramatically speed up the formation of PDA film on QCM chip surface. Surface characterization, BSA binding study, cell viability assay and antibacterial test demonstrates that the polydopamine coating after polymerization for 30 min by our approach exhibits similar properties to those of 24 h counterpart. The method has a great potential for rapid-deposition of polydopamine films to modify biomaterial surfaces.

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) include bacterial infections of the skin, muscles, and connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons. SSTI in patients with immunocompromising diseases may lead to chronic, hard-to-heal infected wounds, resulting in disability, amputation, or even death. To treat SSTI and rebuild the defensive barrier of the skin, here we utilize recombinant type XVII collagen protein (rCol XVII) to construct biodegradable, regenerative collagen microneedles (rCol-MNs) for transdermal delivery of antibacterial agents.

The combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy not only improves the therapeutic effect but also limits the side effects of drugs. Herein, a multi-responsive dual-modality bone-targeted drug delivery vehicle for the treatment of osteosarcoma was designed by utilizing alendronate sodium as a bone-targeting ligand for the targeted delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) loaded polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) coated with γ-polyglutamic acid (APC@PDA/DOX NPs). The average size of spherical NPs was 140.

Infection and insufficient osseointegration are the primary factors leading to the failure of titanium-based implants. Surface coating modifications that combine both antibacterial and osteogenic properties are commonly employed strategies. However, the challenge of achieving rapid antibacterial action and consistent osteogenesis with these coatings remains unresolved.

Removal of accumulated dyes from the environment water bodies is essential to prevent further harm to humans. The development and design of new alternative nanoadsorbents that can conveniently, quickly, and efficiently improve the adsorption and removal efficiency of dyes from wastewater remains a huge challenge. An amorphous TiO with a magnetic core-shell-shell structure (FeO@PDA@a-TiO, denoted as FPaT) was constructed through a series of steps.

An ammonium perchlorate (AP) composite system with double-coating encapsulation based on the interfacial polymerization behavior of dopamine (DA) in Pickering emulsions was designed to enhance the combustion performance of HTPB-based propellants. The composite system proved highly effective in mitigating the agglomeration issues associated with iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO NPs) as catalysts, with the AP exhibiting superior performance compared to the composite comprising pure FeO NPs. The results of the thermal decomposition experiments showed that the HTD temperature of AP@PDA@FeO was reduced to 318.
