“…HA, the main inorganic mineral component of teeth and bones, is a nontoxic, nonallergenic, nonmutagenic, osteoconductive material widely applied in implants, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery. , From the thermodynamic view of point, HA exhibits the highest level of chemical stability among the calcium phosphate compounds. , Nevertheless, current synthetic HA lacks sufficient interfacial bioactivity and antibacterial properties, requiring bioactive modifications to act as bone implants. , Meanwhile, as for drug delivery applications, the absence of nonfouling capacity compromises the use of HA as a drug carrier with long circulation, leading to suboptimal drug bioavailability. , Hence, it is crucial to develop a flexible surface modification platform based on the physicochemical properties of HA substrates. Our previous study introduced an approach for producing a PEGylated functionalized graft copolymer, which employed the coordination of nitrodopamine (ND) in conjunction with the electrostatic attraction of protonated amino (NH 3 + ) to anchor to HA.…”
