A biomimetic compound and a method for synthesizing the same are provided. A synthetic method for obtaining a polymer compound comprising a dihydroxyphenyl derivative (DHPD) having a desired surface activity effect, or DHPp, ie, a polymer modified with DHPD, is described. The polymer backbone of DHPp can be adjusted to control the physical properties of DHPp to make it useful for a variety of applications: tissue adhesives or sealants, adhesion promoting coatings and antifouling coatings. Has structural or performance characteristics. [Selection] Figure 1 |
