Abstract:

Catechol-containing polymers are widely used in the fields of adhesives, hydrogels, biomedicines, antifouling coatings, and self-healing materials due to good compatibility, water resistance, and adhesion. This paper describes the research progress of catechol-containing polymers. The synthesis, structure, and properties of the catechol-containing polymers, as well as its application are summarized.

Key words: adhesion, dihydroxyphenylalanine, polymer
