Polydopamine is one of the simplest and most versatile approaches to functionalizing material surfaces, having been inspired by the adhesive nature of catechols and amines in mussel adhesive proteins. Since its first report in 2007, a decade of studies on polydopamine molecular structure, deposition conditions, and physicochemical properties have ensued. During this time, potential uses of polydopamine coatings have expanded in many unforeseen directions, seemingly only limited by the creativity of researchers seeking simple solutions to manipulating surface chemistry. In this review, we describe the current state of the art in polydopamine coating methods, describe efforts underway to uncover and tailor the complex structure and chemical properties of polydopamine, and identify emerging trends and needs in polydopamine research, including the use of dopamine analogs, nitrogen-free polyphenolic precursors, and improvement of coating mechanical properties.

- Surface Modification of 3D Printed PLA Objects by Fused Deposition Modeling: A Review (2019, background): “The catechol groups present in the polydopamine equilibrate to o-quinones that are very reactive to both amines and thiols under slightly basic conditions, which enables the secondary modification of polydopamine coatings via thiols and amines for bioconjugation [138,139].”
