Natural polyphenols as versatile platforms for material engineering and surface functionalization

Xu, Li Qun, Neoh, Koon-Gee, Kang, En-Tang·2018·Progress in Polymer Science

Abstract

Abstract Polyphenols, the ubiquitous secondary metabolites of plants, are an important part of human diet and are essential for plant functions. They have attracted considerable interest due to their important biological activities as well as intriguing chemical and physical properties. Polyphenols allow a whole panoply of chemical and physical interactions with interesting molecules and surfaces to be established. Thus, polyphenols can serve as versatile building blocks for the preparation of various functional materials, such as capsules, antibacterial and antioxidant films, micro/nanoparticles, membranes, electronic and energy storage materials, hydrogels, and cell encapsulants, with fascinating structures and properties. In addition to their important roles in engineering of functional materials, they also emerge as pivotal components in the construction of versatile surfaces, including antifouling, antibacterial, antioxidant, cell adherent and proliferable, enzyme-immobilized, patternable and peptide-embedded surfaces. This review will describe the main interactions/reactions involving polyphenols for the design of functional materials and the construction of versatile surfaces. This review will also illustrate and discuss current applications of polyphenols in material and surface sciences.

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.
