Abstract
Surface modification has been well recognized as a promising strategy to design and exploit diversified functional materials. However, conventional modification strategies usually suffer from complicated manufacture procedures and lack of universality. Herein, a facile, robust, and versatile approach is proposed to achieve the surface functionalization using dopamine and acrylate monomers via a one-step polymerization and codeposition process. The gel permeation chromatography, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and UV-visible spectra results indicate that dopamine possesses the capability of triggering the polymerization of acrylate monomers into high-molecular-weight products, and the inherent adhesive ability of polydopamine can assist the polymerized products to deposit on various substrates. Besides, protein-resistant, antibacterial, and cell adhesion-resistant surfaces can be easily fabricated via the finely designed integration of corresponding acrylate monomers into the codeposition systems. This approach of in situ polymerization and codeposition significantly simplifies the fabrication process and provides more manifold choices for surface modification, which will open a new door for broadening the applications of polydopamine-based coatings.
