Catechols as versatile platforms in polymer chemistry (2013, background): “These catechol groups are responsible for the strong adhesion of t he polymer network to any kind of surfaces,both organic (polysulfone,[26, 27]polyethe rsulfone,[28] polyethylene,[29]polypyrrole,[30] hydrophobic/super hydrophobic polymers, [31-33] silanes[34-37] and even yeast cells[38] or raw cher”
A facile strategy to enhance PVDF ultrafiltration membrane performance via self-polymerized polydopamine followed by hydrolysis of ammonium fluotitanate (2014, background): “The firmly bound TiO2 nanoparticles can endow hydrophobic PVDF membrane with the long-lasting hydrophilicity and reduce water permeation resistance [34], while the uniformly dispersed TiO2 nanoparticles can effectively decrease the blocking probability of membrane pores.”
