Poly(norepinephrine): Ultrasmooth Material‐Independent Surface Chemistry and Nanodepot for Nitric Oxide

Abstract

Capture and release: The material-independent surface chemistry of a poly(norepinephrine) (pNE) which exhibits perfect smoothness at the nanometer scale is controlled by 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde-norepinephrine (DHBA-NE) conjugates. The pNE layer containing DHBA-NE serves to store and release small therapeutics such as nitric oxide.
