Eumelanin integration in silica aerogel (SA) was achieved via supercritical adsorption of 5,6-dyhydroxyindole (DHI) from CO₂. Notably, after the supercritical treatment, DHI evolved towards spontaneous polymerization, which resulted in uniform pigment development over the SA. The new material was characterized for its morphological and physicochemical properties, disclosing the formation of a eumelanin-like coating, as confirmed by UV⁻vis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.
通过从二氧化碳中对5,6 - 二羟基吲哚(DHI)进行超临界吸附,实现了真黑素在二氧化硅气凝胶(SA)中的整合。值得注意的是,经过超临界处理后,DHI向自发聚合方向发展,这导致在SA上形成均匀的色素。对这种新材料的形态和物理化学性质进行了表征,紫外可见光谱和电子顺磁共振(EPR)光谱证实形成了类似真黑素的涂层。
