  • Substrate-independent layer-by-layer assembly using catechol-functionalized polymers
    Patent number: 9296843
    Abstract: The present invention provides a simple, non-destructive and versatile method that enables layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly to be performed on virtually any substrate. A novel catechol-functionalized polymer which adsorbs to virtually all surfaces and can serve as a platform for LbL assembly in a surface-independent fashion is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 3, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 29, 2016
    Assignee: NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Phillip B. Messersmith, Haeshin Lee, Yuhan Lee, Zhongqiang Liu, Lesley Hamming
