Biocompatibility investigations of synthetic melanin and melanin analogue for application in bioelectronics
(2016-11-01)
Biocompatibility tests were performed for melanin synthesized in water (W-Mel) and dimethylsulfoxide (D-Mel) aiming to evaluate its potential for bioelectronics application. In vitro biocompatibility of melanin was assessed ...
Study of optical properties of electropolymerized melanin films by photopyroelectric spectroscopy
(European Biophysics Journal, 2018)
Melanin system composition analyzed by XPS depth profiling
(2021-06-01)
The melanins are a class of natural pigments ubiquitous throughout the biosphere. These pigments are gaining significant attention as advanced materials due to their biocompatibility, optical and electrical properties. The ...
Melanin thin-films: a perspective on optical and electrical properties
(2021-07-14)
Melanins are an essential natural pigment found throughout nature. Due to their inherent biocompatibility, optical and electronic properties, the melanins are attracting attention as model materials for sustainable organic ...
Melanin films on Au(1 1 1): Adsorption and molecular conductance
(Elsevier Science, 2012-10)
We have studied the adsorption and electronic properties of thin melanin films on Au(1 1 1) by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), and density functional (DF) calculations. We have ...
Sulfonated melanin derivatives: theoretical evaluation of local reactivities and chemical structures
(2021-12-01)
Melanins are natural macromolecules present in several organisms responsible for photoprotection, photosensitivity, ion chelation, and thermoregulation. Such materials have attracted attention due to their interesting ...
Ultraviolet-protective thin film based on PVA–melanin/rod-coated silver nanowires and its application as a transparent capacitor
(2019-08-10)
Melanin is a biopigment in many organisms with interesting intrinsic properties suitable for emerging and sustainable technologies. In this work, we report the fabrication of transparent ultraviolet (UV)-protective thin ...
Polymeric scaffolds for enhanced stability of melanin incorporated in liposomes
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2010)
The use of melanin in bioinspired applications is mostly limited by its poor stability in solid films. This problem has been addressed here by incorporating melanin into dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl glycerol (DPPG) liposomes, ...
