Polydopamine is a synthetic analogue of natural melanin (eumelanin) produced from oxidative polymerization of dopamine. Owing to its strong adhesion ability, versatile chemical reactivity, biocompatibility and biodegradation, polydopamine is commonly applied as a versatile linker to synthesize colloidal materials with diverse structures, unique physicochemical properties and tunable functions, which allow for a broad scope of applications including biomedicine, sensing, catalysis, environment and energy. In this personal account, we discuss first about the different synthetic approaches of polydopamine, as well as its polymerization mechanism, and then with a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the synthesis and applications of polydopamine-based colloidal materials. Finally, we summarize this personal account with future perspectives.
聚多巴胺是一种通过多巴胺的氧化聚合反应合成的天然黑色素（真黑色素）的模拟物。由于其具有很强的黏附能力、多样的化学反应性、生物相容性和可生物降解性，聚多巴胺通常被用作一种通用的连接剂，用于合成具有不同结构、独特物理化学性质和可调功能的胶体材料，这使得其在包括生物医学、传感、催化、环境和能源在内的广泛领域得到了应用。在这篇个人述评中，我们首先讨论了聚多巴胺的不同合成方法及其聚合机制，然后全面概述了基于聚多巴胺的胶体材料的合成和应用的最新进展。最后，我们对这篇个人述评进行了总结并展望了未来。
