Chirally Twisted Ultrathin Polydopamine Nanoribbons: Synthesis and Spontaneous Assembly of Silver Nanoparticles on Them

Polydopamine (PDA) is a synthetic polymeric material with immense potential in biomedical and surface functionalization applications. Herein, we have screened self‐assemblies formed by Phenylalanine‐based amphiphiles (Phe‐AMPs) as soft templates for preparing chiral PDA nanostructures. Our study revealed that the amphiphile 2 endowed with a primary amine residue afforded chirally‐twisted ultrathin nanoribbons of PDA under optimized conditions....
