Polydopamine Applications in Biomedicine and Environmental Science.

This manuscript explores the multifaceted applications of polydopamine (PDA) across various scientific and industrial domains. It covers the chemical aspects of PDA and its potential in bone tissue engineering, implant enhancements, cancer treatment, and nanotechnology. The manuscript investigates PDA's roles in tissue engineering, cell culture technologies, surface modifications, drug delivery systems, and sensing techniques. Additionally, it highlights PDA's contributions to microfabrication, nanoengineering, and environmental applications. Through detailed testing and assessment, the study identifies limitations in PDA-related research, such as synthesis complexity, incomplete mechanistic understanding, and biocompatibility variability. It also proposes future research directions aimed at improving synthesis techniques, expanding biomedical applications, and enhancing sensing technologies to optimize PDA's efficacy and scalability.
