Size control synthesis of melanin-like polydopamine nanoparticles by tuning radicals

Abstract

We report the first effort to control the size of polydopamine nanoparticles <italic>via</italic> adding either strong free radical scavengers (<italic>i.e.</italic> edaravone) or stable free radicals (<italic>i.e.</italic> PTIO˙) during the polymerization.
