AB  - Ultrasonic bubbles on the solid surface of various sonochemical devices largely 
      affect signal resolution due to the serious reflection/scattering of sound waves. 
      The Laplace pressure of the cavitation bubble can be tuned by constructing an 
      ultrathin hydrophilic layer, which leads to the solvation or pinching off of the 
      bubbles from the surface. In this article, we successfully coated a polydopamine 
      polymer layer on the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) surface. The formed 
      hydrophilic layer with a contact angle of less than 45 degrees  almost completely 
      eliminates the bubbles in both water and 32.5 vol % diesel exhaust fluid 
      solutions upon sonication, which results in the operation of the piezoelectric 
      sensor over 500 h, while the sensor with pure HDPE only ran for less than 2 h. 
      Further, the coated sensors showed high stability under the temperatures of 60-80 
       degrees C. An improved mechanical property was confirmed via abrasion test, enabling 
      long-term stability in harsh environments, including acidic urine and ultrasonic 
      agitation. The acoustic bubble suppression via the hydrophilic polymer coating on 
      HDPE surface displays broad applications, particularly with acoustic sensors, 
      sonobuoys, and nondestructive surface detection in sonochemistry.
