Abstract Surface modification is crucial for conferring novel functionalities to objects and interfaces. However, simple yet versatile strategies for the surface modification of multiple classes of nanomaterials, including biointerfaces, are rare, as the chemical interactions between the surface modifiers and the substrates need to be tailored on a case-by-case basis. Recently, metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have emerged as a versatile surface modifier based on the universal adherent properties of phenolic molecules, namely the constituent gallol and catechol groups. Additionally, the dynamic interactions between metal ions and phenolic molecules confer additional functionalities to the MPNs, such as stimuli-responsiveness. Given the interest in MPNs for nanomaterial and biointerface engineering, this review aims to provide an overview of the assembly process, physicochemical properties and applications of MPN coatings.

金属-酚类网络作为设计纳米材料和生物界面的多功能平台

摘要 表面修饰对于赋予对象和界面新的功能至关重要。然而，对包括生物界面在内的多类纳米材料进行表面改性的简单而通用的策略很少见，因为表面改性剂和基材之间的化学相互作用需要根据具体情况进行定制。最近，基于酚类分子的普遍粘附特性，即组成的没食子酚和儿茶酚基团，金属-酚类网络 (MPN) 已成为一种通用的表面改性剂。此外，金属离子和酚类分子之间的动态相互作用赋予 MPN 额外的功能，例如刺激响应性。鉴于对用于纳米材料和生物界面工程的 MPN 的兴趣，
