Characterization of Carbonized Polydopamine Nanoparticles Suggests Ordered Supramolecular Structure of Polydopamine
Abstract
Polydopamine is not only a multifunctional biopolymer with promising optoelectronic properties but it is also a versatile coating platform for different surfaces. The structure and formation of polydopamine is an active area of research. Some studies have supposed that polydopamine is composed of covalently bonded dihydroxyindole, indoledione, and dopamine units, but others proposed that noncovalent self-assembly contributes to polydopamine formation as well. However, it is difficult to directly find the details of supramolecular structure of polydopamine via self-assembly. In this study, we first report the graphite-like nanostructure observed in the carbonized polydopamine nanoparticles in nitrogen (or argon) environment at 800 °C. Raman characterization, which presents the typical D band and G band, confirmed the existence of graphite-like nanostructures. Our observation provides clear evidence for a layered-stacking supramolecular structure of polydopamine. Particularly, the size of graphite-like domains is similar to that of disk-shaped aggregates hypothesized in previous study about the polymerization of 5,6-dihydroxyindole [ Biomacromolecules 2012 , 13 , 2379 ]. Analysis of the hierarchical structure of polydopamine helps us understand its formation.

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.
