Journal ArticleDOI
Colorless Multifunctional Coatings Inspired by Polyphenols Found in Tea, Chocolate, and Wine
TL;DR: From this observation emerged a versatile and comprehensive approach to surface modification of a variety of solid, porous, and nanoparticulate substrates composed of metals, ceramics, and polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of hierarchical polymer mechanics with bioinspired metal-coordination dynamics
Scott C. Grindy,Robert Learsch,Davoud Mozhdehi,Jing Cheng,Devin G. Barrett,Zhibin Guan,Phillip B. Messersmith,Niels Holten-Andersen +7 more
TL;DR: Control over the material’s mechanical hierarchy of energy-dissipating modes under dynamic mechanical loading is demonstrated, and therefore the ability to engineer a priori the viscoelastic properties of these materials by controlling the types of crosslinks rather than by modifying the polymer itself is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling Hydrogel Mechanics via Bio-Inspired Polymer-Nanoparticle Bond Dynamics.
TL;DR: Inspired by the adhesive chemistry in mussel threads, iron oxide nanoparticles are incorporated into a catechol-modified polymer network to obtain hydrogels cross-linked via reversible metal-coordination bonds at Fe3O4 NP surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mussel-inspired histidine-based transient network metal coordination hydrogels.
TL;DR: P pH-dependent speciation curves were calculated using the equilibrium constants determined by potentiometric titration, providing insight into the pH dependence of histidine-metal ion coordination and guiding the design of metal coordination hydrogels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular diversity in phenolic and polyphenolic precursors of tannin-inspired nanocoatings
TL;DR: Several newly identified compounds expand the molecular diversity of tannin-inspired coatings, including catechol-, gallol- and resorcinol-rich precursors capable of forming coatings.
