A facile synthetic strategy for introducing catecholic moieties into polymeric materials based on a readily available precursor (eugenol) and efficient chemistries [tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane-catalyzed silation and thiol-ene coupling] is reported. Silyl protection is shown to be critical for the oxidative stability of catecholic moieties during synthesis and processing, which allows functionalized polysiloxane derivatives to be fabricated into 3D microstructures as well as 2D patterned surfac ...[more]
