Application
3,4-Dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid(DHCA) can be used as a monomer to prepare muscle-mimetic, bioadhesive polymers. The strong adhesive action of the polymers is due to interactions of catechol groups present at the end of the polymer terminal chain and substrate surface.
It can also be used for thesurface functionalization of nanoparticles. The functionalization with DHCA notonly improves the water solubility of nanoparticles but also provides a platformfor further modification due to the presence of surface carboxyl groups.
