pH-dependent and self-healing properties of mussel modified poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels in a metal-free environment

3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA)-based polymers are well-known to form functional hydrogels with self-healing properties by chelating metal ions. However, DOPA-based hydrogels with self-healing properties are difficult to obtain in the absence of the metal ions, as previously reported. Thus, the ai...
