Ultrafast and one-step coating sporopollenin exine capsules with metal-phenolic networks for bio-composite applications

Blog Article

Sporopollenin exine capsules (SECs), extracted from plant pollen grains, are becoming increasingly popular as natural microcapsules for a broad spectrum of bio-composite applications due to their plentiful supply, letter opener resilience to chemicals and physical stress, unique species-specific designs, exceptional consistency in structure, and significant internal volume.However, SECs have a relatively bioinert interface hindering their application in biomaterials.Thus, surface modification is an efficient strategy to convert SECs into biocompatible materials better for biological applications.Previous approaches predominantly depend on labor-intensive, multi-stage procedures that are time-consuming.Herein, we report an ultrafast, one-step, and effective modification strategy to render SECs biocompatibility by coating them with ferric ions and tannic acids, which endow them with a better cell adhesion property.

In summary, our results show that this ultrafast and one-step biocompatibility strategy enhances the DC Power Adapter functional characteristics of SECs and holds wide-ranging implications for bio-composite applications.
