Natural organism is the source of inspiration to provide the strategical ideas in order to achieve the scientific/technological breakthrough overcoming the current drawbacks. In this discussion, the bioinspired, polyphenol-based nanocoating will be discussed, followed by its practical demonstrations. Plant-derived polyphenols can form the robust coordination complex with metal salts, leading to the implementation of nanocoating on various substrates. Taking advantage of intrinsic physicochemical properties of natural polyphenols, this nanocoating exhibits the conducible multifunction to nanobio-applications, such as single cell encapsulation and food preservation. Although the exact formation mechanism of nanocoating was not divulged yet, the polyphenol-based nanocoating dealt herein manifests the full of possibilities to provide the innovative solutions for nanobio-applications by leveraging nature’s strategies. |
