Multifunctional biomimetic LbL coatings that combine bioactivity with superior adhesion for orthopaedic applications

In a marine environment, specific proteins are secreted by mussels and used as a bioglue to stick to a surface allowing generate irreversible bonding. Adhesive secreted proteins of mussels present an unusual amino acid 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, DOPA [1]. The outstanding adhesive properties of thes...
