Abstract
Mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) and its derivative materials have exhibited a huge potential as a facile and versatile route to fabricate multifunctional coatings on virtually any substrate surface. However, their performance and applicability are frequently obstructed by limited optical absorption in visible regions of PDA and poor surface adhesion persistence of dopamine solutions. Herein, we report a facile strategy to improve these problems by rationally regulating the dopamine polymerization pathway through mixed-solvent-mediated periodate oxidation of dopamine. The spectral analysis, ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry, and density functional theory simulations systematically demonstrate that the mixed-solvent reaction systems can effectively accelerate the periodate-induced formation of cyclized moieties in the PDA microstructure and inhibit their further oxidative cleavage, thus contributing to narrowing the inherent energy band gap of PDA and improving the long-lasting surface deposition performance of aged dopamine solutions. Moreover, the newly constructed cyclized species-rich PDA coatings have excellent surface uniformity and significantly enhanced chemical stability. Benefiting from these fascinating properties, they have been further used for permanent dyeing of natural gray hair with remarkably improved blackening effect and excellent practicability, which exhibited their promising prospect in real-world applications.

Abstract
Polydopamine fluorescent organic nanomaterials present unique physicochemical and biological properties, which have great potential application in bio-imaging and chemical sensors. Here, folic acid (FA) adjustive polydopamine (PDA) fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FA-PDA FONs) were prepared by a facile one-pot self-polymerization strategy using dopamine (DA) and FA as precursors under mild conditions. The as-prepared FA-PDA FONs had an average size of 1.9 ± 0.3 nm in diameter with great aqueous dispersibility, and the FA-PDA FONs solution exhibit intense blue fluorescence under 365 nm UV lamp, and the quantum yield is ~8.27%. The FA-PDA FONs could be stable in a relatively wide pH range and high ionic strength salt solution, and the fluorescence intensities are constant. More importantly, here we developed a method for rapidly selective and sensitive detection of mercury ions (Hg2+) within 10 s using FA-PDA FONs based probe, the fluorescence intensities of FA-PDA FONs presented a great linear relationship to Hg2+ concentration, the linear range and limit of detection (LOD) were 0-18 µM and 0.18 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the feasibility of the developed Hg2+ sensor was verified by determination of Hg2+ in mineral water and tap water samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is an artificial melanin polymer that has been spotlighted due to its extraordinary optoelectronic characteristics and advance theranosctic applications in biomaterial fields. Moreover, interactions on the nano-bio interface interplay whereby substances exchange in response to endogenous or exogenous stimuli, and electron transfer driven by light, energy-level transitions, or electric field greatly affect the functional performance of PDA-modified nanoparticles. The full utilization of potential in PDA's interfacial activities, optoelectrical properties and related responsiveness is therefore an attractive means to construct advanced nanostructures for regulating biological processes and metabolic pathways. Herein, we strive to summarize recent advances in the construction of functional PDA-based nanomaterials with state-of-the-art architectures prepared for modulation of photoelectric sensing and redox reversibility, as well as manipulation of photo-activated therapeutics. Meanwhile, contributions of interfacial electron transfer and matter conversion are highlighted by discussing the structure-property-function relationships and the biological effects in their featured applications including disease theranostics, antibacterial activities, tissue repair, and combined therapy. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives in this emerging research field will also be outlined. Recent advances on polydopamine-based nanotherapeutics with an emphasis on their interfacial activities, optoelectrical properties and related responsiveness are reviewed for providing insightful guidance to the rational design of integrated theranostic nanoplatforms with high performance in the biomedical fields.

Abstract
Bioinspired polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles were synthesized and explored as functional compatibilizers in polyvinyl alcohol/starch (PVA/ST) matrix to develop high-performance multifunctional packaging film. The effect of the addition of PDA on the microstructural, mechanical, thermal, water vapor barrier, ultraviolet (UV)/high-energy blue light (HEBL) blocking, thermal insulating and antioxidant properties of PVA/ST composite films was fully investigated. Results demonstrated that the added PDA nanoparticles were evenly dispersed in the PVA/ST matrix, providing compact and dense nanocomposite films due to their compatibilization effect. Compared with virgin PVA/ST film, the resulting PVA/ST/PDA nanocomposite films exhibited greatly improved tensile strength, toughness, thermal stability, and water vapor barrier ability. Furthermore, the presence of PDA endowed PVA/ST composite film with excellent UV/HEBL blocking, thermal insulating as well as antioxidant functions. Thus, such high-performance multifunctional nanocomposite films hold the potential of protecting food quality against photothermal oxidative deterioration and extend food shelf life.

Abstract
Fluorescence nanoparticles have gained much attention due to their unique properties in the sensing and imaging fields. Among the very successful candidates are fluorescent polydopamine (FPDA) nanoparticles, attributed to their simplicity in tracing and excellent biocompatibility. This article aims to highlight the recent achievements in FPDA materials, especially on the part of luminescence mechanisms. We focus on the intrinsic fluorescence of PDA and will not discuss fluorescent reaction with a fluorometric reagent or coupling reaction with a fluorophore, which may cause more in vivo interferences. We believe that intrinsic FPDA presents great potential in bioapplications.

Abstract
Carbon dot (CD)-based multi-mode sensing has drawn much attention owing to its wider application range and higher availability compared with single-mode sensing. Herein, a simple and green methodology to construct a CD-based dual-mode fluorescent sensor from the waste biomass of flowers of wintersweet (FW-CDs) for parallel and semi-quantitative visual detection of Cr(VI) and Fe3+ was firstly reported. The FW-CD fluorescent probe had a high sensitivity to Cr(VI) and Fe3+ with wide ranges of linearity from 0.1 to 60 µM and 0.05 to 100 µM along with low detection limits (LOD) of 0.07 µM and 0.15 µM, respectively. Accordingly, the FW-CD-based dual-mode sensor had an excellent parallel sensing capacity toward Cr(VI) and Fe3+ with high selectivity and strong anti-interference capability by co-using dual-functional integration and dual-masking strategies. The developed parallel sensing platform was successfully applied to Cr(VI) and Fe3+ quantitative detection in real samples with high precision and good recovery. More importantly, a novel FW-CD-based fluorescent hydrogel sensor was fabricated and first applied in the parallel and semi-quantitative visual detection of Cr(VI) and ferrous ions in industrial effluent and iron supplements, further demonstrating the significant advantage of parallel and visual sensing strategies.

Abstract
Melanin‐like nanomaterials have found application in a large variety of high economic and social impact fields as medicine, energy conversion and storage, photothermal catalysis and environmental remediation. These materials have been used mostly for their optical and electronic properties, but also for their high biocompatibility and simplicity and versatility of preparation. Beside this, their chemistry is complex and it yields structures with different molecular weight and composition ranging from oligomers, to polymers as well as nanoparticles (NP). The comprehension of the correlation of the different compositions and morphologies to the optical properties of melanin is still incomplete and challenging, even if it is fundamental also from a technological point of view. In this minireview we focus on scientific papers, mostly recent ones, that indeed examine the link between composition and structural feature and photophysical and photochemical properties proposing this approach as a general one for future research.

Abstract
As an important protease, trypsin (TRY) has been identified as a key indicator of various diseases. A simple and sensitive strategy for TRY detection by using an environment-friendly biosafe probe is significant. Herein, we introduced negatively charged fluorescent polydopamine nanoparticles (PDNPs) with 4.8 nm diameter obtained through a controllable method as an effective probe for TRY. PDNPs exhibited excellent fluorescence property but integrated with protamine (Pro) to form an aggregation-caused quenching system via a static quenching mechanism. The quenching mechanism of Pro to PDNPs revealed the significant effect of the surface charge, functional groups, and appropriate size of PDNPs on quenching process. Given the specific hydrolysis of Pro by TRY, PDNPs were released from the quenching integration of PDNPs and Pro (PDNPs-Pro) and recovered their fluorescence. Thus, a fluorescence sensor for TRY with a linear range of 0.01 and 0.1 μg/mL and a detection limit of 6.7 ng/mL was developed without the disturbing from other proteases. Compared with other TRY assays, the biosensor based on PDNPs-Pro has the advantages of simple operation, environmental friendliness, and high sensitivity. This specific controlled-synthesis PDNPs would open up a new window for the extended application of fluorescent nanomaterials in biomedicine based on fluorescence changes induced by biological interaction.

Abstract
The aggregation of neurotoxic amyloid-β (Aβ) polypeptides into aberrant extracellular senile plaques is the major neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibiting aggregation of these peptides to control the progression of this deadly disease can serve as a viable therapeutic option. In the current work, inherently fluorescent theranostic dopamine-tryptophan nanocomposites (DTNPs) were developed and investigated for their amyloid inhibition propensity along with their ability to act as a cellular bioimaging agent in neuronal cells. The antiaggregation potency of the nanocomposites was further investigated against an in vitro established reductionist amyloid aggregation model consisting of a mere dipeptide, phenylalanine-phenylalanine (FF). As opposed to large peptide/protein-derived robust and high-molecular-weight amyloid aggregation models of Alzheimer's disease, our dipeptide-based amyloid model provides an edge over others in terms of the ease of handling, synthesis, and cost-effectiveness. Results demonstrated positive antiaggregation behavior of the DTNPs toward both FF-derived amyloid fibrils and preformed Aβ-peptide fibers by means of electron microscopic and circular dichroism-based studies. Our results further pointed toward the neuroprotective effects of the DTNPs in neuroblastoma cells against FF amyloid fibril-induced toxicity and also that they significantly suppressed the accumulation of Aβ42 oligomers in both cortex and hippocampus regions and improved cognitive impairment in an intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (ICV-STZ)-induced animal model of dementia. Besides, DTNPs also exhibited excellent fluorescent properties and light up the cytoplasm of neuroblastoma cells when being coincubated with cells, confirming their ability to serve as an intracellular bioimaging agent. Overall, these results signify the potency of the DTNPs as promising multifunctional theranostic agents for treating AD.

Abstract
Herein, a novel fluorescence nanosensor using intrinsic fluorescent polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) as an effective signal reporter has been constructed for the simple, rapid and sequential detection of mercury ions (Hg2+) and l-ascorbic acid (AA) based on a coordination effect and redox reaction. The fluorescence of the PDA NPs could be specifically quenched by Hg2+ through intense coordination effects between the Hg2+ and the groups (catechol, amine, ketone and imine) on the surface of the PDA NPs. However, when AA and Hg2+ coexisted in solution, the fluorescence of the PDA NPs pronouncedly recovered via the redox reaction of Hg2+, with it being reduced to Hg0 by AA. The fluorescence quenching mechanism of Hg2+ towards the PDA NPs and the redox reaction between Hg2+ and AA were also fully investigated. The nanosensor exhibited high sensitivity and desirable selectivity for Hg2+ and AA detection. Moreover, the strategy was successfully explored in real samples (tap water, lake water and human serum samples) with satisfactory recoveries. The developed nanosensor provides new sights and good inspiration for Hg2+ and AA detection under real conditions.

Abstract
In recent years, photoluminescent (PL) carbon dots (CDs) have attracted enormous attention because of their many fascinating properties. However, the traditional synthesis routes of PL CDs usually suffer from relatively low quantum yields (QYs) and require complicated operation processes as well as lots of externally supplied energy. Herein, we report a room temperature, green, ultrafast and energy-efficient route for large scale synthesis of highly PL N, S-codoped CDs without any external energy supply. The N, S-codoped CDs are prepared through a novel carbon source self-heating strategy, using the sole precursor tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) simultaneously as the carbon, nitrogen and heat source, triggered by the heat initiator sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8). The large amount of heat released from Na2S2O8-triggered oxidation of TEPA could effectively promote the spontaneous polymerization and carbonization of TEPA precursors themselves as well as the in situ co-doping of sulfur, which had marked synergistic effects on the fluorescence enhancement of CDs, eventually leading to the high-yield (58.0%) preparation of highly fluorescent N, S-codoped CDs (QY 26.4%) at room temperature within 2 min. Moreover, the fluorescence of N, S-codoped CDs could be selectively quenched by Fe3+ ions in the presence of EDTA, in an ultra-wide range of 0.2-600 μM, with a detection limit of 0.10 μM. Ultimately, the fluorescent nanoprobe was successfully used for the quantitative detection of Fe3+ in human serum samples, indicating its great potential for sensing and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Since thiosemicarbazide contains numerous nitrogen and sulfur atoms in its structural formula that enhance its strong coordinating abilities with metal ions, it is always selected as the mother molecule for the design of metal-ion sensors. In this report, a thiosemicarbazide derivative (4-naphthalenyl-3-thiosemicarbazide (NTSC)) was synthesized via a single step process and covalently conjugated onto the surfaces of carbon dots (CDs). The modified CDs demonstrated excellent monodispersity, good photostability, and tunable luminescence properties. More importantly, the CDs retained a highly specific Fe3+ recognition capacity in contrast to other competing metal ions. Fe3+ can efficiently quench the fluorescence of CDs even at fairly low concentration (30μM) with a detection limit as low as 1.68nM. The fluorescence quenching kinetics are likely to involve static quenching, which is caused by specific interactions between NTSC-CDs and Fe3+ toward the formation of a ground state complex. Due to their excellent optical performance, low toxicity, and good biocompatibility the NTSC-CDs may be applied to the imaging and monitoring of Fe3+ in bacillus subtilis. In effect we successfully fabricated an effective fluorescent nanosensor for both the quantitative detection of Fe3+ in aqueous solutions, and its real-time imaging in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Melanins are a group of biopigments in microorganisms that generate a wide range of colorants. Due to their multifunctionality, including ultraviolet protection, radical scavenging, and photothermal conversion, in addition to their intrinsic biocompatibility, natural melanins and synthetic melanin-like nanomaterials have been suggested as novel nano-bio platforms in biomedical applications. MAIN BODY Recent approaches in the synthesis of melanin-like nanomaterials and their biomedical applications have briefly been reviewed. Melanin-like nanomaterials have been suggested as endogenous chromophores for photoacoustic imaging and radical scavengers for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. The photothermal conversion ability of these materials under near-infrared irradiation allows hyperthermia-mediated cancer treatments, and their intrinsic fluorescence can be an indicator in biosensing applications. Furthermore, catechol-rich melanin and melanin-like nanomaterials possess a versatile affinity for various functional organic and inorganic additives, allowing the design of multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials that expand their range of applications in bioimaging, therapy, theranostics, and biosensing. CONCLUSION Melanin-like natural and synthetic nanomaterials have emerged; however, the under-elucidated chemical structures of these materials are still a major obstacle to the construction of novel nanomaterials through bottom-up approaches and tuning the material properties at the molecular level. Further advancements in melanin-based medical applications can be achieved with the incorporation of next-generation chemical and molecular analytical tools.

In situ one-pot synthesis of polydopamine/octadecylamine co-deposited coating in capillary for open-tubular capillary electrochromatography. J Chromatogr A 2019; 1610:460559.

Abstract
Mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) based materials are attractive as stationary phase for open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC) due to their many fascinating properties. However, all of the existing strategies for fabricating PDA based OT-CEC columns are limited in aqueous solutions. Consequently, it is a challenge work to directly immobilize the hydrophobic functional materials onto the inner wall of PDA modified capillary. Herein, by using the organic amine-inducing co-deposition strategy, a novel preparative method was developed for in situ one-pot synthesis of PDA/octadecylamine (ODA) co-deposited coating inside capillary as OT-CEC stationary phase. The formation and morphology of the PDA/ODA co-deposited coating were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscope, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and contact angle measurements. The separation performance of the fabricated PDA/ODA modified columns was validated by the separation of alkylbenzenes and steroids, which could achieve baseline separation with high separation efficiency. Their separation was found to follow the reversed phase chromatographic retention mechanism. The co-deposited column showed good stability and long lifetime. The repeatability of the PDA/ODA co-deposited column was also evaluated, with the relative standard deviations for intra-day and inter-day runs less than 5% and column-to-column runs less than 6%.

Abstract
Most commercial permanent hair dyeing technologies are based on the oxidative process of p-phenylenediamine and its derivative materials. However, concerns about their toxicological issues have been raised throughout the years. Herein, we report an innovative surface coloration strategy for fabricating melanin-mimetic multicolor and low-toxicity hair dyes through sodium periodate-induced rapid deposition of eumelanin-like polydopamine (PDA) and pheomelanin-like PDA/cysteine co-deposited coatings on the hair surface. The color and morphology of the resulting hair were characterized in detail by several spectroscopy methods and the possible mechanism for the multi-coloring effects and structural differences of the melanin-mimetic coating was proposed. Our strategy eliminates the use of toxic dye precursors or organic solvents, and the favorable safety of the PDA-based formulations is demonstrated. The fabricated dyes can be applied to hair simply by combing, resulting in uniform multi-coloring effects within a short time. Furthermore, the melanin-mimetic hair dyes have excellent durability and ultraviolet protection performance. This work provides a facile and versatile methodology to develop the next generation of safe, sustainable and multicolor hair dyes and pave new avenues for advancing the field of surface coloration, nanoreactors, nanogenerators, energy storage materials and biomimetic sensing devices. This study developed novel approaches for melanin-mimetic multicolor and low-toxicity hair dye through rapid deposition of PDA-based coatings on hair.![]()
