Benefits of Polydopamine as Particle/Matrix Interface in Polylactide/PD-BaSO<sub>4</sub> Scaffolds

Benefits of Polydopamine as Particle/Matrix Interface in Polylactide/PD-BaSO<sub>4</sub> Scaffolds

This work reports the versatility of polydopamine (PD) when applied as a particle coating in a composite of polylactide (PLA). Polydopamine was observed to increase the particle–matrix interface strength and facilitate the adsorption of drugs to the material surface. Here, barium sulfate radiopaque...
