“…Moreover, contact angles for PLLA droplets, for each thermal treatment, are larger (around double) compared to those of thermoset matrix with glass and flax fibres. These differences may not be explained by differences in surface tension (for PLLA c s = 40.1 ± 1.1 mJ/m 2 [10]; polyester c s = 44.2 ± 1 mJ/m 2 [11] and for epoxy c s = 40.8 ± 2.3 mJ/m 2 [11]) but by several others parameters such as the difference in shrinkage, the magnitude of residual stress inside the droplet, the difference in viscosity and the temperature of polymer deposit which may involve modification of the flax fibre surface. The aspect ratio (embedded length/diameter) shows good reproducibility between samples, and increases with low cooling rate which correlates with the trend followed by contact angles.…”

“…These parameters can be modified by different treatments [7][8][9]. The fibre-matrix bond can also be modified by addition of coupling agents [8,10]. Other work has shown that the curing temperature of thermoset matrix polymers can influence fibre-matrix interface properties [11].…”

Deposition Mechanism and Properties of Thin Polydopamine Films for High Added Value Applications in Surface Science at the Nanoscale

Polydopamine films have been introduced by Messersmith et al. as a possible "versatile" surface functionalization method allowing to coat the surface of almost all known materials even superhydrophobic surfaces. These new kinds of coatings also confer a plethora of functionalities to the coated materials owing to the complex chemistry of the catechol quinone moieties present on the surface of polydopamine. These coatings may hence become an interesting alternative to established surface coatings like selfassembled monolayers and polyelectrolyte multilayered films. In this review, we describe the knowledge acquired in the last 3 years about the deposition mechanisms of polydopamine films, their properties, and various applications in surface science at the nanoscale.

Abstract.Catechols are found in nature taking part in a remarkably broad scope of biochemical processes and functions. Though not exclusively, such versatility may be traced back to several properties uniquely found together in the o -dihydroxyaryl chemical function; namely, its ability to establish reversible equilibria at moderate redox potentials and pHs and to irreversibly cross-link through complex oxidation mechanisms; its excellent chelating properties, greatly exemplifi ed by, but by no means exclusive, to the binding of Fe 3 + ; and the diverse modes of interaction of the vicinal hydroxyl groups with all kinds of surfaces of remarkably different chemical and physical nature. Thanks to this diversity, catechols can be found either as simple molecular systems, forming part of supramolacular structures, coordinated to different metal ions or as macromolecules mostly arising from polymerization mechanisms through covalent bonds. Such versatility has allowed catechols to participate in several natural processes and functions that range from the adhesive properties of marine organisms to the storage of some transition metal ions. As a result of such an astonishing range of functionalities, catechol-based systems have in recent years been subject to intense research, aimed at mimicking these natural systems in order to develop new functional materials and coatings. A comprehensive review of these studies is discussed in this paper.
