Abstract:

After the discovery in 2007, polydopamine has drawn much attention to the field of surface modification of the materials. This paper reviews the discovery process of polydopamine and its formation reactive mechanism, which further illustrates the application status of polydopamine in the field of sensing, cancer photothermal therapy, and catalysis, and the outlook of future research and applications.

Key words: Polydopamine, Reaction mechanism, Application
