Abstract:

Polymer coatings are of central importance for a variety of biomedical applications. In recent years, polydopamine, a nature inspired polymer based on mussels has attracted considerable research interests in materials science and technology due to its highly attractive properties. In this presentation, I will present some of our recent efforts in engineering ultrasound responsive polydopamine nanodroplets based on the acoustic vaporization mechanism for biomedical applications. The physical properties of our polydopamine nanodroplets have been characterized and upon exposure to ultrasound, polydopamine based nanodroplets were able to undergo phase transition to generate microbubbles. These and other results will also be presented.
