3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine-modified poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG-DOPA3) is a biologically-inspired material that exhibits unique adhesion properties. In this study, mPEG-DOPA3 thin films were prepared using a novel laser process known as matrix-assisted pulsed-laser evaporation (MAPLE). The films were examined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, profilometr...
