Study of the formation of polydopamine coating

Caption

This composite image shows the formation of polydopamine coatings. Top to bottom: The molecular structure of intermediates in polydopamine-formation; the clay-mineral nanotubes change color during the polymerization process due to the absorbed intermediates; graphs showing different chemical bonds present in the intermediates during polymerization.
