General description
3,4-Dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid (DHCA) belongs to the class of monomers known as hydroxycinnamic acids. DHCA, also known as hydrocaffeic acid, can be polymerized to form various caffeic acid-based polymers. These polymers can be used in the development of coatings, films, and packaging materials due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. caffeic acid-based polymers have also shown potential applications in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and encapsulation of bioactive compounds. Additionally, these polymers can be incorporated into cosmetic and personal care products due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Application
3,4-Dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid(DHCA) can be used as a monomer to prepare muscle-mimetic, bioadhesive polymers. The strong adhesive action of the polymers is due to interactions of catechol groups present at the end of the polymer terminal chain and substrate surface.
It can also be used for thesurface functionalization of nanoparticles. The functionalization with DHCA notonly improves the water solubility of nanoparticles but also provides a platformfor further modification due to the presence of surface carboxyl groups.
