Mussel-mimicking sulfobetaine-based copolymer with metal tunable gelation, self-healing and antibacterial capability

In the present study, the sulfobetaine-based copolymer bearing a dopamine functionality showed gel formation adjusted by the application of metal salts for gelation and various values of pH. Normally, the liquid-like solution of the sulfobetaine-based copolymer and metal cross-linkers is transformed...
