Abstract:
Herein, we report a controllable pathway to accelerate the polymerization kinetics of dopamine using ultrasound as a trigger. The use of ultrasound was demonstrated to dramatically accelerate the slow liquid phase reaction kinetics and increase the deposition rate of the polydopamine coating on the surface of polymeric membranes.
