This study develops a one-pot anodic templating electrodeposition strategy using dual-cation-crosslinking and interpenetrating networks, coupled with pulsed electrical signals, to fabricate a vessel-mimetic multilayered tubular hydrogel. Typically, t...
MXene, a 2D material, is used as a filler to manufacture polymer electrolytes with high ionic conductivity because of its unique sheet shape, large specific surface area and high aspect ratio. Because MXene has numerous -OH groups on its surface, it...
Alginate is a polysaccharide used extensively in biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and suitability for hydrogel fabrication using mild reaction chemistries. Though alginate has commonly been crosslinked using divalent cations, coval...
This study explored the dual chemical modification of starch isolated from red lentils (Lens culinaris) to develop a biodegradable polymer with enhanced functionality for multifaceted applications. Native starch was isolated via combined salt–a...
Potato starch offers the unique potential of mineral enrichment through the presence of phosphorylated amylopectin chains. This property was utilised in a straightforward dual modification of native potato starch by combining mineral enrichment with...
This study explored the synergistic effects of simultaneously using calcium and gallium cations in the cross-linking of alginate, detailing its effects on the characteristics of alginate compared to its single cation counterparts. The primary goal is...
Tough and antimicrobial dual-crosslinked poly((trimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate chloride)-phytic acid hydrogel (pTMAEMA-PA) has been synthesized by adding a chemical crosslinker and docking a physical crosslinker of multivalent phytic acid into a ca...
The synergic features and enhancing strategies for various photopolymerization systems are reviewed by kinetic schemes and the associated measurements. The important topics include (i) photo crosslinking of corneas for the treatment of corneal diseas...
This study consisted of developing a dressing loaded with silver (Ag) and ibuprofen (IBU) that provides a dual therapy, antibacterial and antalgic, intended for infected painful wounds. Therefore, non-woven polyethyleneterephtalate (PET) textiles non...
The present work proposed a novel therapeutic platform with both neuroprotective and neuroregenerative potential to be used in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). A dual-functioning scaffold for the delivery of the neuroprotective S1R agonist,...
To address the susceptibility of polymer gels to syneresis and failure under high-temperature, high-salinity (HTHS) reservoir conditions, a zwitterionic terpolymer was synthesized from acrylamide (AM), 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS)...
This work reports the synthesis and characterization of sustainable, multifunctional chitosan/graphene oxide hybrid nanoparticles (GOCSNPs) prepared via a low-temperature ionotropic gelation method utilizing sodium tripolyphosphate as a green crossli...
There is an actual need for developing materials for wound healing applications with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, or antibacterial properties in order to improve the healing performance. In this work, we report the preparation and characterization...
Strategic utilization of carbon dioxide as both a carbon mitigation tool and a sustainable C1 feedstock represents a pivotal pathway toward green chemistry. Although poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) exhibit promise in CO2 conversion, conventional divinylbe...
Calcium phosphate glasses have a high potential for use as biomaterials because their composition is similar to that of the mineral phase of bone. Phosphate glasses can dissolve completely in aqueous solution and can contain various elements owing to...
Chronic and infected wounds remain difficult to treat due to persistent microbial burden, biofilm formation, and dysregulated inflammation. As a multifunctional polyphenol, curcumin exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiox...
Most anticancer treatments only induce the death of ordinary cancer cells, while cancer stem cells (CSCs) in the quiescent phase of cell division are difficult to kill, which eventually leads to cancer drug resistance, metastasis, and relapse. Theref...
