TL;DR: In this paper, a novel method has been developed for preparation of amine functionalized CNTs via combination of mussel inspired chemistry and Michael addition reaction and the results of the experiments were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich models of adsorption.

TL;DR: The mussel-inspired surface modification has recently emerged as one of the most important and interest surface modification method owing to its gentle experiment conditions, high modification efficiency and universality.

TL;DR: It is reported for the first time that novel fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) can be conveniently fabricated via self-polymerization of dopamine and polyethyleneimine at room temperature and in an air atmosphere within 2 h, making them highly potential for biological imaging applications.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the surface of SiO2 particles can be successfully functionalized with cationic PAPTCl and is expected to be promising for fabrication of many other functional polymer nanocomposites for environmental applications due to the universality of mussel inspired chemistry and well designability and good monomer adaptability of SI-ATRP.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a universal environmental organic material (called tannic acid (TA)) on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was investigated, and the influence of CNT properties and pH values on the sorption capacity of the CNTs for TA was evaluated.
