Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage caused by trauma can easily lead to death. Efficient and safe hemostatic materials are an urgent and increasing need for hemostatic research. Following a trauma, wound healing is induced by various cellular mechanisms and proteins. Hemostatic biomaterials that can not only halt bleeding quickly but also provide an environment to promote wound healing have been the focus of research in recent years. Mussel-inspired nanoparticle composite hydrogels have been propelling the development of hemostatic materials owing to their unique advantages in adhesion, hemostasis, and bacteriostasis. This review summarizes the hemostatic and antimicrobial fundamentals of polydopamine (PDA)-based nanomaterials and emphasizes current developments in hemorrhage-related PDA nanomaterials. Moreover, it briefly discusses safety concerns and clinical application problems with PDA hemostatic nanomaterials.
1 Introduction
Trauma is the leading cause of death among individuals aged 5–44 years (; ; ). Uncontrolled bleeding is a major cause of 30–40% of trauma deaths caused by war, traffic accidents, and natural disasters (); in particular, the bleeding of irregular wounds, such as in the groin, is the weakest link in first aid. Massive prehospital blood loss also leads to higher mortality and serious complications later in life (nerve necrosis, amputation, etc.) (). Therefore, new methods and products for effective bleeding control are the focus of research in the field of prehospital emergency care.
In recent years, many researchers have devoted themselves to the research and development of products applicable to wound hemostasis. There is a wide variety of existing hemostasis materials, particularly including polysaccharides, silicon-based materials, biological products, and self-assembled nano-peptides in various forms (including sponges, hydrogels, nano-fibers, and particles) (; ; ; ; ; ; ; Zhang et al., 2021; ). The toxicity of degradation products, which induce immune responses and other safety problems, is a common problem with these materials. In addition, due to increased fluids and blood around the wound, the adhesion and biocompatibility of current hemostatic materials in moist environments must still be optimized. Therefore, the ideal hemostatic material is still the focus and difficulty of modern materials science research. In existing hemostatic materials, hydrogels have become the most competitive candidates for wound dressings due to their good hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and three-dimensional (3D) porous structure that resembles extracellular matrix (ECM). Studies have shown that the mechanical properties of the hydrogels for wound healing are not only supported by physical sealing but also by the enrichment of coagulation factors through the absorption of wound extract ().
In nature, mussels have excellent underwater adhesion. Byssus protein secreted by mussels has a fast curing speed, high waterproof adhesion ability, and excellent properties in water. Its adhesion diversity makes it a very advantageous and potential hemostatic material. There are six main mussel foot proteins (mfps) in mussel byssus, namely, mfp-1 through mfp-6. Phenolic residues including 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), phenylalanine, and tyrosine have been found to be abundant in mussel byssus protein and play key roles in wet adhesion and adhesion diversification. Based on these discoveries, polydopamine (PDA) became the focus of attention as a novel coating material in 2007 due to its molecular structure, which is similar to DOPA (). Since then, polydopamine has not been limited to use as a coating material but has also been rapidly incorporated into a wide range of applications across the biomedical field. Polydopamine has undergone intense interest in its applications and is becoming a material of global significance. There has thus been great interest in developing polydopamine-based hemostatic materials that target sites of wound bleeding to promote hemostasis. Both polydopamine and its derivative materials have been explored for the development of hemostatic and wound-healing materials. This review article provides an overview of polydopamine-based nanomaterial composite hydrogels used for hemostatic and antimicrobial fundamentals and emphasizes current developments in hemorrhage-related PDA nanomaterials. Moreover, it briefly discusses safety concerns and clinical application problems with PDA hemostatic nanomaterials.
2 Mechanism of hemostasis and wound healing promoted by mussel-inspired materials
The tissue-adhesive properties of mussel-inspired materials are mainly attributable to mussel adhesion in the wet state. Mussels adhere to wet surfaces, and polyphenol compounds on mussel foot proteins play key roles (; ). Polyphenol compounds contain large numbers of catechol groups, which act as adhesive reagents. Catechol functional groups contribute to tissue adhesion not only by participating in the formation of various reversible, non-covalent bonding forces (such as hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking, cation–π interaction, and coordination with metal oxides) (; ; ; ; ), as shown in Figure 1 (), but also because polyphenol compounds are easily oxidized to quinone structures and have Schiff base bonds or Michael addition reactions with amino or sulfhydryl groups in histones. Catechol groups can also undergo coordination chelation reactions with metal ions such as Fe3+, form dynamic borate bonds with boric acid groups, and undergo disproportionation reactions to produce coupling to increase adhesion strength.

Moreover, blood coagulation is accelerated by the interaction of catechol groups and the active residues of proteins or polysaccharides in the blood (

3 Mussel-inspired nanoparticle composite hydrogels
Based on the mechanism of catechol groups, DOPA, dopamine (DA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-propionic acid, and other compounds can form complex hemostatic materials with natural biomacromolecules including chitosan (
3.1 Polyphenol–inorganic nanomaterial composite hydrogels
Reversible, dynamic covalent and non-covalent linking interactions mediated by catechol groups have been optimized and used in the development of hemostatic materials. Graphene oxide (GO) and other nanomaterials are excellent combination for preparing polyphenol composite nanogels. To date, GO, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nano-clay, hydroxyapatite, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, and silicon-based nanomaterials have been reported to form nanocomposite hydrogels with dopamine and other analogs for hemostatic materials.
Nanomaterials such as GO nanosheets were reported to activate platelets and cause them to strongly aggregate to stop bleeding because the nanosheets were rich in oxygen-containing functional groups (
Some studies indicate that using a polyphenol polymer layer as a coating could induce interfacial component synergy, change the interface properties of inorganic nanoparticles, and improve the adhesion of the materials to platelets and erythrocytes. For example, using PDA as a linker to immobilize thrombin on the surface of diatom biosilica diatom (DB-diatom) could maintain thrombin activity for a longer time (
Laponite (LAP) was reported as an effective hemostatic agent (
3.2 Polydopamine nanoparticle composite hydrogels
Synthetic melanin, often known as PDA, has good biocompatibility and can be biodegradable in vivo. Polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA-NPs) were reported to have excellent adhesion. PDA could be obtained by spontaneous oxidation or polymerization under alkaline conditions of DOPA, dopamine (DA), 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI), or other monomers (
PDA with multiple catechol groups could be used as a convenient component for preparing anti-bleeding and self-healing materials. The unique properties of PDA-based nanomaterials were ascribed to the great balance between the reversible interactions (hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking, and hydrophobic interactions) and covalent bonds. Recently, a multifunctional near infrared (NIR) laser-induced hydrogel for infected wound healing was composed of dibenzaldehyde-grafted poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGDA), lauric acid-terminated chitosan (Chi-LA), and curcumin (Cur)-loaded mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@Cur) via Schiff base and/or Michael addition reaction, as shown in Figure 3 (

Other nanoparticles that, like PDA, have a controlled size were combined with mussel-inspired hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels to form a nanocomposite (
4 Conclusion and outlook
Compared with natural hemostatic components, mussel-inspired nanoparticle composite hydrogels can more easily form tissue adhesion and promote wound healing. Results from a bacteria-infected skin defect remolding experiment showed that the PDA @AgNP-based composite hydrogels thicken granulation tissue due to the hydrogel providing a satisfying wound environment (
The adhesion of polyphenol hydrogels is significantly affected by the content of free phenol hydroxyl groups in the hydrogels. The phenol hydroxyl group moieties would be oxidized by high temperatures or free radicals, tremendously reducing the adhesion of the hydrogels (
