Melanin Biopolymers: Tailoring Chemical Complexity for Materials Design
Abstract
Melanins, a group of dark insoluble pigments found widespread in nature, have become the focus of growing interest in materials science for various biomedical and technological applications, including opto‐bioelectronics, nanomedicine and mussel‐inspired surface coating. Recent progress in the understanding of melanin optical, paramagnetic redox, and conductivity properties, including photoconductivity, would point to a revision of the traditional concept of structural disorder in terms of more sophisticated and interrelated levels of chemical complexity which however have never been defined and codified. Herein, we bring to focus the various levels of structural disorder that emerged from spectral and chemical signatures over the past decade. A revised approach to structure–property relationships in terms of intermolecular interactions is also provided that may pave the way towards the rational design of next‐generation melanin‐based functional materials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
