Abstract: Organically-coated nanomaterials are intensively studied and find numerous applications in a wide range of areas from optics to biomedicine. One of the recent trends in material science is the application of bio-mimetic polydopamine coatings that can be produced on a variety of substrates in a cost-efficient way under mild conditions. Such coatings not only modify the biocompatibility of the material but also add functional amino groups to the surface that can be further modified by classic conjugation techniques. Here we show an alternative strategy for substrates modification using dopamine conjugates instead of native dopamine. Compared to the classic scheme, the proposed strategy allows separation of the "organic" and "colloidal" stages, and simplified identification and purification steps. Modification with pre-modified dopamine made it possible to achieve high loading capacities with active components up to 10.5% wt. A series of organo-inorganic hybrids were synthesized and their bioactivity was analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
