title: Dopamine Surface Modification of Trititanate Nanotubes: Proposed In-Situ Structure Models.
abstract: Two models for self-assembled dopamine on the surface of trititanate nanotubes are proposed: individual monomer units linked by π-π stacking of the aromatic regions and mono-attached units interacting through hydrogen bonds. This was investigated with solid state NMR spectroscopy studies and powder X-ray diffraction.
