Biomimetically modified chitosan for electrophoretic deposition of composites
Abstract
A one-step cathodic electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method has been developed for the deposition of chitosan (CHIT) films modified with catechol. Our approach was based on the use of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (DHBA) molecules, which contain a catechol moiety for CHIT modification using a Schiff base reaction. We discussed the deposition mechanism as well as advantages of our one-step EPD method, compared to other techniques. It was found that …
