This presentation will cover recent development of technologies inspired by marine mussels particularly catecholamine. Catecholamines are rationally designed polymers and small molecules inspired be the amino acid sequence of the adhesive proteins found in mussels, which functionalizes virtually any material surfaces. After the first demonstration of material-independent surface chemistry (1), they have been utilized superhydrophobic surface modification (2), water-collecting devices (2), energy-free microfluidics (3), and adhesive materials for Li-ion batteries (4). Other nanobio applications such as material-independent hydoxyapatite crystal growth (5), block copolymer lithography on virtually any material surface (6), carbon nanotube fiber composites (7), and surface-driven gene delivery (8) will be presented. In particular, this presentation is going to focus on how the mussel adhesive polymers can be utilized to control cellular functions. |
