Polydopamine (PDA) has a wide range of applications in biomedicine due to its high biocompatibility and surface chemistry and because of the presence of many functional groups in it, enabling further modification. As a catechol-like material, it has chelation properties for various types of metal ions, including iron. Here, we developed a procedure that uses PDA as a template to grow iron structures β-FeOOH directly on its surface. The innovative approach of this work relies on that these struct ...[more]
