Abstract
Surface topography significantly affects various surface properties of polymer gels. Unlike conventional materials where surface topography is largely a geometric property, the surface topography of a polymer gel is governed by the competition between capillary, elastic, and osmotic effects, which leads to complex stimuli-responsive effects. Elastocapillary deformation and osmocapillary phase separation are two phenomena that are known to flatten gel surface topography. Here we experimentally quantify how osmocapillary phase separation affects gel surface topography by fabricating ionogels with multi-scale topography and characterizing the swelling-dependent surface flattening. Our observation confirms the vital role of the osmocapillary length in governing the surface behavior of swollen ionogels. This study provides the first quantitative experimental verification of the osmocapillary phase separation and shows the insufficiency of the previous studies based on elastocapillary deformation alone.

Abstract
Supramolecular organogel coatings that can disinfect the deposited microbial pathogens are emerging as an effective vehicle to prevent pathogen transmission. However, the development of anti-pathogen supramolecular adhesives with mechanical robustness and controlled oil inclusion is technically challenging. Here, we report supramolecular adhesives with mechanical integrity and robust interfacial adhesion over a wide range of biogenic antimicrobial oil. Bifunctional monomers are synthesized and assembled into linear polymers with semicrystalline stackings through hierarchical hydrogen bonds, where incorporated bioactive oil could regulate the semicrystalline stackings into nanosized crystalline domains through intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The abundant bonding motifs provided by the supramolecular cross-linked networks could accommodate oil molecules with high inclusion capability and provide more interfacial binding sites with high adhesion strength, and the nanosized crystalline domains could stabilize the organogel network and compensate for the interactions with oil molecules to enhance structural and mechanical stability. In addition, rapid healing, robust adhesion, and antimicrobial and antiviral properties of the resultant organogel coatings are demonstrated. This study paves the way for the development of high-performance antimicrobial supramolecular adhesives with controlled oil inclusion, showing potential applications in soft robotics, tissue engineering, and biomedical devices.

Abstract
The surface properties exhibited by chemically cross-linked polydimethylsiloxanes (CPDMS) such as morphology, stiffness, and wettability have garnered great interest in the study of bacteria-material interactions. Nevertheless, the hidden factor of uncross-linked free PDMS chains that dissociate in CPDMS has often been overlooked when studying the biofilm formation on these polymeric elastomer surfaces. Here, we undertake a comparative characterization of the effects of free chains in CPDMS on bacterial adhesion to both flat and textured Sharklet CPDMS surfaces. Surprisingly, compared to unextracted surfaces, removing free chains from flat and textured CPDMS through solvent extraction results in a tremendous increase in bacterial colony-forming units for both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria up to 2-3 orders in the initial adhesion stage of 2 h. These findings demonstrate that the solvent extraction of free chains from CPDMS is essential in studying the interactions between bacteria and silicone elastomer materials when focusing on a single variable.

Abstract
Due to their exceptional anti-icing, anti-corrosion, and anti-drag qualities, biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces, which are widely employed in the aerospace, automotive, electronic, and biomedical industries, have raised significant concern. However, further applications in other domains have been hampered by the poor mechanical and chemical durability of superwetting metallic surfaces, which can result in metal fatigue and corrosion. The potential for anti-corrosion, anti-contamination, anti-icing, oil/water separation, and oil transportation on surfaces with superwettability has increased in recent years due to the advancement of research in biomimetic superwetting interface theory and practice. Recent developments in functionalized biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces were summarized in this paper. Firstly, a detailed presentation of biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces with unique capabilities was made. The problems with the long-term mechanical and chemical stability of biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces were then examined, along with potential solutions. Finally, in an effort to generate fresh concepts for the study of biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces, the applications of superwetting metallic surfaces in various domains were discussed in depth. The future direction of biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces was also addressed.

Abstract
Shock-induced low-frequency vibration damage is extremely harmful to bionic soft robots and machines that may incur the malfunction of fragile electronic elements. However, current skin-like self-healable ionic elastomers as the artificial sensing and protecting layer still lack the ability to dampen vibrations, due to their almost opposite design for molecular frictions to material's elasticity. Inspired by the two-phase structure of adipose tissue (the natural damping skin layer), here, a highly damping ionic elastomer with energy-dissipating nanophases embedded in an elastic matrix is introduced, which is formed by polymerization-induced dynamic phase separation of sticky fluorinated copolymers in the presence of lithium salts. Such a supramolecular design decouples the elastic and damping functions into two distinct phases, and thus reconciles a few intriguing properties including ionic conductivity, high stretchability, softness, strain-stiffening, elastic recovery, room-temperature self-healability, recyclability, and most importantly, record-high damping capacity at the human motion frequency range (loss factor tan δ > 1 at 0.1-50 Hz). This study opens the door for the artificial syntheses of high-performance damping ionic skins with robust sensing and protective applications in soft electronics and robotics.

Abstract
Water-repellent interfaces with high performance have emerged as an indispensable platform for developing advanced materials and devices. Inspired by the pitcher plant, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) with reliable hydrophobicity have proven to possess great potential for various applications in droplet and bubble manipulation, droplet energy harvesting, condensation, fog collection, anti-icing, and anti-biofouling due to their excellent properties such as persistent surface hydrophobicity, molecular smoothness, and fluidity. This review aims to introduce the development history of interaction between SLIPSs and fluids as well as the design principles, preparation methods, and various applications of some of the more typical SLIPSs. The fluid manipulation strategies of the slippery surfaces have been proposed including the wettability pattern, oriented micro-structure, and geometric gradient. At last, the application prospects of SLIPSs in various fields and the challenges in the design and fabrication of slippery surfaces are analyzed. We envision that this review can provide an overview of the fluid manipulating processes on slippery surfaces for researchers in both academic and industrial fields.

Abstract
When blood first encounters the artificial surface of a medical device, a complex series of biochemical reactions is triggered, potentially resulting in clinical complications such as embolism/occlusion, inflammation, or device failure. Preventing thrombus formation on the surface of blood-contacting devices is crucial for maintaining device functionality and patient safety. As the number of patients reliant on blood-contacting devices continues to grow, minimizing the risk associated with these devices is vital towards lowering healthcare-associated morbidity and mortality. The current standard clinical practice primarily requires the systemic administration of anticoagulants such as heparin, which can result in serious complications such as post-operative bleeding and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Due to these complications, the administration of antithrombotic agents remains one of the leading causes of clinical drug-related deaths. To reduce the side effects spurred by systemic anticoagulation, researchers have been inspired by the hemocompatibility exhibited by natural phenomena, and thus have begun developing medical-grade surfaces which aim to exhibit total hemocompatibility via biomimicry. This review paper aims to address different bio-inspired surface modifications that increase hemocompatibility, discuss the limitations of each method, and explore the future direction for hemocompatible surface research.

Abstract
Nature always inspires us to develop advanced materials for diverse applications. The liquid-infused surface (LIS) inspired by Nepenthes pitcher plants has aroused broad interest in fabricating anti-biofouling materials over the past decade. The infused liquid layer on the solid substrate repels immiscible fluids and displays ultralow adhesion to various biomolecules. Due to these fascinating features, bioinspired LIS has been applied in biomedical-related fields. Here, we review the recent progress of LIS in bioengineering, medical devices, and biosensing, and highlight how the infused liquid layer affects the performance of medical materials. The prospects for the future trend of LIS are also presented.

Abstract
Liquid manipulation at solid surfaces has attracted plenty of interest yet most of them are limited to one or two direction(s), while transport in three dimensions is largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate three‐dimensionally steered dynamic liquid mobility at nanoporous liquid crystal polymer coatings. To this end, we orchestrate liquid motion via sequential triggers of light and/or electric field. Upon a primary flood exposure to UV light, liquid is ejected globally over the entire coating surfaces. We further reallocate the secreted liquid by applying a secondary electric field stimulus. By doing so, the liquid is transported and collected at pre‐set positions as determined by the electrode positions. We further monitor this process in real‐time and perform precise analysis. Interestingly, when applying those two triggers simultaneously, we discover a UV‐gated liquid‐release effect, which decreases threshold voltage as well as threshold frequency.

Abstract
Chemistry and topography are the two distinct available tools for customizing different bio-inspired liquid wettability including superhydrophobicity, superamphiphobicity, underwater superoleophobicity, underwater superoleophilicity, and liquid infused slippery property. In nature, various living species possessing super and special liquid wettability inherently comprises of distinctly patterned surface topography decorated with low/high surface energy. Inspired from the topographically diverse natural species, the variation in surface topography has been the dominant approach for constructing bio-inspired antiwetting interfaces. However, recently, the modulation of chemistry has emerged as a facile route for the controlled tailoring of a wide range of bio-inspired liquid wettability. This review article aims to summarize the various reports published over the years that has elaborated the distinctive importance of both chemistry and topography in imparting and modulating various bio-inspired wettability. Moreover, this article outlines some obvious advantages of chemical modulation approach over topographical variation. For example, the strategic use of the chemical approach has allowed the facile, simultaneous, and independent tailoring of both liquid wettability and other relevant physical properties. We have also discussed the design of different antiwetting patterned and stimuli-responsive interfaces following the strategic and precise alteration of chemistry for various prospective applications.

Abstract
A biological system shows dynamical shapes and tunable mechanical states while working as an actuator and/or sensor. To simulate this, we prepared semicrystalline dynamic ionogels (SDIGs) via a facile process by introducing crystallized polymer domains for phase change and amorphous domains for ionic liquid loading into ionogels. The obtained SDIGs offered tunable mechanical properties upon temperature switching with a change in modulus up to 2 orders of magnitude. It also showed an excellent shape memory effect, shape programmability, and melting accelerated conductivity increase. Enabled by ionic Joule heating technique, the ionogel provided an electrical triggered actuating process to mimic flower blossoming. Moreover, it was demonstrated as a touch sensor with various working shape states, indicating cyclic and green utilization.

Abstract
Liquid-infused surfaces offer a versatile approach to create self-cleaning coatings. In such coatings, a thin film of a fluid lubricant homogeneously coats the substrate and thus prevents direct contact with a second, contaminating liquid. For stable repellency, the interfacial energies need to be controlled to ensure that the lubricant is not replaced by the contaminating liquid. Here, we introduce the concept of self-functionalizing lubricants. Functional molecular species that chemically match the lubricant but possess selective anchor groups are dissolved in the lubricant and self-adhere to the surface, forming the required surface chemistry in situ from within the applied lubricant layer. To add flexibility to the self-functionalizing concept, the substrate is first primed with a thin polydopamine base layer, which can be deposited to nearly any substrate material from aqueous solutions and retains reactivity toward electron-donating groups such as amines. The temporal progression of the in situ functionalization is investigated by ellipsometry and quartz crystal microbalance and correlated to macroscopic changes in contact angle and contact angle hysteresis. The flexibility of the approach is underlined by creating repellent coatings with various substrate/lubricant combinations. The prepared liquid-infused surfaces significantly reduce cement adhesion and provide easy-to-clean systems under real-world conditions on shoe soles.

Abstract
Vaseline gauze is a common type of wound dressing that consist of absorbent gauze impregnated with white petrolatum. It has excellent anti-adhesive property which can reduce trauma during dressing changes. However, this kind of wound dressing doesn't have bacterial killing property. Thus, a new kind of wound dressing that has anti-adhesive and bactericidal properties is needed urgently. Creating slippery liquid-impregnated porous surfaces (SLIPS) that insensitive to the structure of porous solid are generally viewed as a new anti-adhesion strategy. To expand the potential utility of SLIPS as substitute for vaseline gauze, dual-functional slippery membranes with anti-adhesion and bactericidal properties by using triclosan, vegetable oils and polylactic acid (PLA) were prepared. It's demonstrated that the triclosan-loaded/vegetable oils-infused PLA membranes (T/V-PM) has good cytocompatibility in vitro. Notably, the T/V-PM can gradually release biocide molecule into surrounding aqueous media. Moreover, the T/V-PM can kill planktonic bacterial cells without loss of their antifouling property. The in vivo study revealed that the T/V-PM can prevent the secondary injuries during wound dressing changes. This simple and low-cost strategy can be applied to inhibit blood and bacterial adhesion, and prevent tissue adhesion at the wound site. It's confirmed that the T/V-PM have great potential as substitute for vaseline gauze.

Abstract
Addressing thrombosis and biofouling of indwelling medical devices within healthcare institutions is an ongoing problem. In this work, two types of ultra-low fouling surfaces (i.e., superhydrophobic and lubricant-infused slippery surfaces) were fabricated to enhance the biocompatibility of commercial medical grade silicone rubber (SR) tubes that are widely used in clinical care. The superhydrophobic (SH) coatings on the tubing substrates were successfully created by dip-coating in superhydrophobic paints consisting of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), perfluorosilane-coated hydrophobic zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles (NPs) in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The SH surfaces were converted to lubricant-infused slippery (LIS) surfaces through the infusion of silicone oil. The anti-biofouling properties of the coatings were investigated by adsorption of platelets, whole blood coagulation, and biofilm formation in vitro. The results revealed that the LIS tubes possess superior resistance to clot formation and platelet adhesion than uncoated and SH tubes. In addition, bacterial adhesion was investigated over 7 days in a drip-flow bioreactor, where the SH-ZnO-Cu tube and its slippery counterpart significantly reduced bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation of Escherichia coli relative to control tubes (>5 log10 and >3 log10 reduction, respectively). The coatings also demonstrated good compatibility with fibroblast cells. Therefore, the proposed coatings may find potential applications in high-efficiency on-demand prevention of biofilm and thrombosis formation on medical devices to improve their biocompatibility and reduce the risk of complications from medical devices.

Abstract
Foreign body response and infection are two universal complications that occur with indwelling medical devices. In response, researchers have developed different antimicrobial and antifouling surface strategies to minimize bacterial colonization and fibrous encapsulation. In this study, the nitric oxide (NO) donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) and silicone oil were impregnated into silicone rubber cannulas (SR-SNAP-Si) using a solvent swelling method to improve the antimicrobial properties and decrease the foreign body response. The fabricated SR-SNAP-Si cannulas demonstrated a stable, prolonged NO release, exhibited minimal SNAP leaching, and maintained sliding angles < 15° for 21 days. SR-SNAP-Si cannulas displayed enhanced antimicrobial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus in a 7-day biofilm bioreactor study, reducing the viability of adhered bacteria by 99.2 ± 0.2% compared to unmodified cannulas while remaining noncytotoxic toward human fibroblast cells. Finally, SR-SNAP-Si cannulas were evaluated for the first time in a 14- and 21-day subcutaneous mouse model, showing significantly enhanced biocompatibility compared to control cannulas by reducing the thickness of fibrous encapsulation by 60.9 ± 6.1 and a 60.8 ± 10.5% reduction in cell density around the implant site after 3 weeks. Thus, this work demonstrates that antifouling, NO-releasing surfaces can improve the lifetime and safety of indwelling medical devices.

Abstract
Encapsulation materials play an important role in many applications including wearable electronics, medical devices, underwater robotics, marine skin tagging system, food packaging, and energy conversation and storage devices. To date, all the encapsulation materials, including polymer layers and inorganic materials, are solid materials. These solid materials suffer from limited barrier lifetimes due to pinholes, cracks, and nanopores or from complicated fabrication processes and limited stretchability for interfacing with complex 3D surfaces. This paper reports a solution to this material challenge by demonstrating bioinspired oil-infused slippery surfaces with excellent waterproof property for the first time. A water vapor transmission test shows that locking a thin layer of oil on the silicone elastomer improves the water vapor barrier performance by three orders of magnitude. Accelerated lifetime tests suggest robust water barrier characteristics that approach 226 days at 37 °C even under severe mechanical damage. A combination of temperature- and thickness-dependent experimental measurements and reaction-diffusion modeling reveals the key waterproof property. In addition to serving as a barrier to water, the oil-infused surface demonstrates an attractive ion barrier property. All these exceptional properties suggest the potential applications of slippery surfaces as encapsulation materials for medical devices, underwater electronics, and many others.

Abstract
The study of adhesion behaviors on solid-liquid surfaces plays an important role in scientific research and development in various fields, such as medicine, biology and agriculture. The contact angle and sliding angle of the liquid on the solid surface are commonly used to characterize and measure the wettability of a particular surface. They have a wide range of values, which results in different wettability. It boils down to the adhesion of solid surfaces to liquids. This feature article is aimed at revealing the essence of the adhesion behavior from the aspects of controlling the chemical composition or changing the geometrical microstructure of the surface, and reviewing the natural sources, wetting models, preparation methods and applications of four kinds of typical solid-liquid surfaces (low-adhesion superhydrophobic surfaces, high-adhesion superhydrophobic surfaces, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) and hydrophilic/superhydrophilic surfaces). Last, a summary and outlook on this field are given to point out the current challenges and the potential research directions of surface adhesion in the coming future.

Abstract
4D printing has shown great potential in a variety of biomedical applications due to the adaptability and minimal invasiveness of fabricated devices. However, commonly employed shape memory polymers (SMPs) possess undesirable transition temperatures (Ttranss), leading to complications in implantation operations. Herein, we demonstrate 4D printing of a new SMP named poly(glycerol dodecanoate) acrylate (PGDA) with a Ttrans in a range of 20 °C - 37 °C making it appropriate for shape programming at room temperature and then shape deployment within the human body. In addition, the material possesses suitable rheological properties to allow for the fabrication of a variety of delicate 3D structures such as "triangular star", "six-petal flower", "honeycomb", "tube", tilted "truncated hollow cones", as well as overhanging "bridge", "cage", and "mesh". The printed 3D structures show shape memory properties including a large fixity ratio of 100% at 20 °C, a large recovery ratio of 98% at 37 °C, a stable cyclability of > 100 times, and a fast recovery speed of 0.4 s at 37 °C. Moreover, the Young's moduli of the printed structures can be decreased by 5 times due to the phase transition of PGDA, which is compatible with biological tissues. Finally, in vitro stenting and in vivo vascular grafting demonstrated the geometrical and mechanical adaptivity of the printed constructs for biomedical implantation. This newly developed PGDA SMP based 4D printing technology has the potential to pave a new route to the fabrication of shape memory scaffolds for personalized biomedical applications.

[PMID: 33302056 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2020.102329] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 11/22/2020] [Accepted: 11/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Lubricant-impregnated surfaces are two-component surface coatings. One component, a fluid called the lubricant, is stabilized at a surface by the second component, the scaffold. The scaffold can either be a rough solid or a polymeric network. Drops immiscible with the lubricant, hardly pin on these surfaces. Lubricant-impregnated surfaces have been proposed as candidates for various applications, such as self-cleaning, anti-fouling, and anti-icing. The proposed applications rely on the presence of enough lubricant within the scaffold. Therefore, the quality and functionality of a surface coating are, to a large degree, given by the extent to which it prevents lubricant-depletion. This review summarizes the current findings on lubricant-depletion, lubricant-replenishment, and the resulting understanding of both processes. A multitude of different mechanisms can cause the depletion of lubricant. Lubricant can be taken along by single drops or be sheared off by liquid flowing across. Nano-interstices and scaffolds showing good chemical compatibility with the lubricant can greatly delay lubricant depletion. Often, depletion of lubricant cannot be avoided under dynamic conditions, which warrants lubricant-replenishment strategies. The strategies to replenish lubricant are presented and range from spraying or stimuli-responsive release to built-in reservoirs.

Abstract
Inhibiting the attachment of bacteria and the formation of biofilms on surfaces of materials and devices is the key to ensure public safety and is also the focus of attention and research. Here we report on the synthesis of multifunctional antibacterial materials based on water dispersible random copolymers containing a fluorinated block, poly(acrylic acid-co-1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorododecyl acrylate) (PAA-co-PFDA), and poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB). PAA-co-PFDA copolymers were synthesized through a simple free radical polymerization. After lightly cross-linking of PAA-co-PFDA and complexation with PHMB, multifunctional antibacterial PAA-co-PFDA/PHMB complex nanoparticles were generated, which can form transparent coatings on various substrates. The resultant coating has aggregation-induced emission character which can be used to observe the uniformity of the coating on a catheter and has a potential application as a fluorescence probe. It has been demonstrated that the PAA-co-PFDA/PHMB complex nanoparticle coatings can resist bacterial adhesion in physiological environment and exhibit excellent antibacterial activity in infection environment. In vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that the PAA-co-PFDA/PHMB complex nanoparticle coated catheters exhibited excellent antibacterial activity and possessed good biocompatibility. This method is simple and scalable, which is important for future commercialization. The attractive multifunctional properties of the PAA-co-PFDA/PHMB complex nanoparticles, such as antifouling, antimicrobial, emission, and pH-responsive release character, have great potential application in a wide range of biomedical fields.

Abstract
Robust and thermally conductive phase-change capsules (PCCs) can be effectively used as dispersoids for heat transfer fluids (HTFs) to utilize waste heat. Here, we demonstrate PCCs encapsulated with a cross-linked poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) shell that showed high durability and low thermal hysteresis for effective heat uptake and release. The circulation system was manufactured by mimicking the 4th Generation District Heating (4GDH) system to confirm the heat delivery efficiencies of PCC-dispersed slurries (PCSs) as the HTFs. The enthalpy change of water after it received heat from the PCS improved by up to 41.1% on increasing the amount of PCCs in the PCS. Furthermore, a high PCC recovery of 92 wt % was achieved after 1500 cycles, which accompanied a phase transition. The PCC developed by us can thus enable effective storage/delivery of waste heat-driven energy for zero-energy buildings and a 4GDH system, as well as thermal management of electronics.

Abstract
New processing routes and materials for non-biocidal, antifouling (AF) coatings with an improved performance are currently much sought after for a range of marine applications. Here, the processing, physical properties and marine AF performance of a fluorinated coating based on a thermoplastic (non-crosslinked) fluorinated polymer are reported. It was found that the addition of lubricating oil and hydrodynamic drag reducing microstructures improved the AF properties substantially, i.e. the settlement of a marine biofilm, containing mixed microalgae including diatoms, was reduced to low levels. More importantly, the remaining fouling was removed from the coatings at low hydrodynamic shear rates and promising AF properties were obtained. Moreover, additional potential benefits were revealed originating from the thermoplastic nature of the coating material which might result in significant cost reductions.

Abstract
Polymeric coatings that show tunable mechanical strength, healing ability of mechanical damage, and proper liquid repellency will be promising in various areas across life and industry. However, the exploitation of such coating materials is largely limited by their molecular design. In this work, polymeric coatings with ion-controlled mechanics and coloration and damage-healing and oil-sliding properties have been demonstrated based on a supramolecular design of dual-cross-linked polysiloxanes. The coating color and mechanical properties can be adjusted by coordinative metal ions with various metal-ligand binding abilities. Dense and dynamic hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds lead to the ready healing ability and high durability of the coating. The extreme smoothness of the flat silicone coating facilitates not only the sliding of impinging oil but also the restoration of topological integrity from mechanical damage. The coating can be selectively patterned and applied to large-scale substrates by diverse coating operations, making it feasible for versatile applications.

Abstract
Oil-infused ‘slippery’ polymer surfaces and engineered surface textures have been separately shown to reduce settlement or adhesion strength of marine biofouling organisms. Here, we combine these two approaches in fluorogel surfaces infused with perfluorinated oils, via a facile photo-embossing method that allows the generation of a micro-scale surface relief structure while retaining the properties of lubricant-infused materials. Testing of these surfaces against a range of marine fouling challenges in laboratory assays demonstrated that when the volume percentage of perfluorinated oil was high, adhesion strengths of attached barnacles and biofilms were low. However, diatoms adhered strongly to test surfaces, highlighting the need to explore different combinations of polymer and oil for such surfaces. Furthermore, the tested surface structures increased settlement and adhesion in the assays, demonstrating the need to optimize any surface structure for specific applications. Nevertheless, the results show the feasibility of combining multiple approaches to create future antifouling technologies.

Abstract
Engineering surface wettability is of great importance in academic research and practical applications. The exploration of hydrogel-based natural surfaces with superior properties has revealed new design principles of surface superwettability. Gels are composed of a cross-linked polymer network that traps numerous solvents through weak interactions. The natural fluidity of the trapped solvents confers the liquid-like property to gel surfaces, making them significantly different from solid surfaces. Bioinspired gel surfaces have shown promising applications in diverse fields. This work aims to summarize the fundamental understanding and emerging applications of bioinspired gel surfaces with superwettability and special adhesion. First, several typical hydrogel-based natural surfaces with superwettability and special adhesion are briefly introduced, followed by highlighting the unique properties and design principles of gel-based surfaces. Then, the superwettability and emerging applications of bioinspired gel surfaces, including liquid/liquid separation, antiadhesion of organisms and solids, and fabrication of thin polymer films, are presented in detail. Finally, an outlook on the future development of these novel gel surfaces is also provided.

Abstract
Point-of-care (POC) detection and diagnostic platforms provide critical information about health and safety conditions in austere and resource-limited settings in which medical, military, and disaster relief operations are conducted. In this work, low-cost paper materials commonly used in POC devices are coated with liquid-infused polymer surfaces and folded to produce geometries that precisely localize complex liquid samples undergoing concentration by evaporation. Liquid-infused polymer surfaces were fabricated by infusing silicone-coated paper with a chemically compatible polydimethylsiloxane oil to create a liquid overlayer. Tests on these surfaces showed no remaining bacterial cells after exposure to a sliding droplet containing a concentrated solution of Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus, while samples without a liquid layer showed adhesion of both microdroplets and individual bacterial cells. Folding of the paper substrates with liquid-infused polymer surfaces into several functional 3D geometries enabled a clean separation and simultaneous concentration of a liquid containing rhodamine dye into discrete, predefined locations. When used with bacteria, which are known for their ability to adhere to nearly any surface type, functional geometries with liquid-infused polymer surfaces concentrated the cells at levels significantly higher than geometries with dry control surfaces. These results show the potential of synergistically combining paper-based materials with liquid-infused polymer surfaces for the manipulation and handling of complex samples, which may help the future engineering of POC devices.

Abstract
Despite many decades of research, biofilm architecture and spreading mechanisms are still not clear because of the heterogenous 3D structure within biofilms. Here, patterned "slippery" lubricant-infused porous surfaces are utilized to study biofilm structure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Staphylococcus aureus. It is found that bacteria are able to spread over bacteria-repellent lubricant-infused regions by using a mechanism, termed "biofilm bridges". Here, it is demonstrated that bacteria use bridges to form interconnected networks between distant biofilm colonies. Detailed structure of bridges shows a spatial distribution of bacteria with an accumulation of respiratory active bacteria and biomass in the bridges. The core-shell structure of bridges formed by two-species mixed population is illustrated. It is demonstrated that eDNA and nutrients have a strong effect on biofilm bridges formation. Thus, it is believed that biofilm bridging is important to reveal the structure and communication within biofilms.
