Abstract
Photothermal materials can effectively absorb light and convert it into heat, providing sustainable solutions to mitigate environmental pollution and energy shortages. Compared to traditional photothermal materials, lignin has garnered significant attention due to its wide availability, low cost, biocompatibility, renewability, and sustainability. Consequently, lignin-based materials are considered ideal candidates for the development of eco-friendly photothermal systems, aligning well with the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions. This review discusses the potential of lignin-based photothermal materials, highlighting their unique molecular structure and the photothermal properties imparted by their aromatic rings, which facilitate effective energy conversion through non-radiative vibrational relaxation. Discussed the latest advances in the applications of lignin photothermal materials in photothermal drive, solar desalination, and biomedicine. Despite the significant potential of lignin, challenges such as structural variability, long-term stability, and scalability remain critical. This paper integrates recent progress and proposes strategies to optimize the photothermal performance of lignin-based materials, while emphasizing important directions for sustainable development, thereby providing a roadmap to fully realize the potential of lignin in next-generation green technologies.

Abstract
The infections triggered by bacteria often cause wound deterioration, and the development of safe and effective antimicrobial treatment is always highly desired. In this paper, naturally derived lignin was aminated to generate surface group functionalized lignin nanoparticles (NPs), efficiently loading Ag NPs and adsorbing L-arginine, to construct lignin-based nanoenzyme (SALL), which achieves synergistic antimicrobial treatment by chemodynamic therapy and NO gas therapy, while the dose of silver was decreased. The SALL is dispersed in eco-friendly hydrogel constructed using keratin and chitosan through realigned disulfide bond and diverse intermolecular interactions, the prepared SALL@K/C hydrogel has ideal rheological property, and strong adhesion capacity facilitating active bacteria capture, ensuring that the bacteria were immobilized within the effective range of reactive oxygen species and NO. The inhibition rates of S. aureus and E. coli were 98.5 % and 97.8 %, respectively. Meanwhile, the SALL@K/C hydrogel could achieve the delivery of hydrophobic drug curcumin for inhibiting inflammation. The study highlights a well-designed nanoenzyme-loaded hydrogel with excellent antibacterial, hemostatic, and antiinflammatory properties, offering new ideas for nanoenzyme design and antimicrobial hydrogel development.

A carboxymethyl chitosan and dextran hydrogel with slow and rapid photothermal conversion for sequential promoting burn wound healing and inhibiting scar proliferation. Carbohydr Polym 2025; 350:123045.

Abstract
Facilitating swift burn wound healing while effectively preventing scar formation continues to be a considerable challenge in medical practice. In this study, an injectable carboxymethyl chitosan/oxidized dextran/polyvinylpyrrolidone/dopamine (COPD) hydrogel was designed for the effective sequentially promotion of burn wound healing and inhibition of scar formation. The COPD hydrogel precursor solution was injected into the burn wound via a double-barreled syringe and transformed into an adherent hydrogel within 25 s. The inclusion of dopamine imparted good free radical scavenging properties to the hydrogel. In particular, the gradual oxidation of dopamine to polydopamine enabled a unique heat production pattern-initially slow (photothermal conversion efficiency: 30.3 %) and then rapidly temperature increasing (photothermal conversion efficiency: 42.8 %) -under single laser irradiation. The effect of promoting healing at the initial stage of the wound was evaluated by constructing a male C57BL/6 mice model with deep second-degree burns, observation of the wound area, PCR analysis, and immunohistochemical staining. Furthermore, the scar inhibition was confirmed by observing reduced expression levels of α-SMA and COLI, along with a decreased collagen I/III ratio. With tunable mechanical properties (maximum compressive strength of 966.4 ± 51.7 kPa), the COPD hydrogel holds significant promise as an adjunctive photothermal platform for intelligent burn wound management.

Nanofiber-reinforced chitosan/gelatine hydrogel with photothermal, antioxidant and conductive capabilities promotes healing of infected wounds. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:134625. [PMID: 39163962 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 08/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024]
Abstract
The wound healing process was often accompanied by bacterial infection and inflammation. The combination of electrically conductive nanomaterials and wound dressings could accelerate cell proliferation through endogenous electrical signaling, effectively promoting wound healing. In this study, polypyrrole was modified with dopamine hydrochloride by an in situ polymerization to form dopamine-polypyrrole (DA-Ppy) conductive nanofibers which successfully enhanced the water dispersibility and biocompatibility of polypyrrole. The DA-Ppy nanofibers were dispersed in an aqueous solution for >48 h and still maintained good stability. In addition, the DA-Ppy nanofibers showed good photothermal properties, and the temperature could reach 59.7 °C by 1.5 W/cm2 near-infrared light irradiation (NIR) for 10 min. DA-Ppy conductive nanofibres could be well dispersed in 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid modified chitosan-carboxymethylated β-cyclodextrin modified gelatin (CG) hydrogel due to the presence of DA, which endowed CG/DA-Ppy hydrogel with good adhesion properties, and the hydrogel adhered to the pigskin would not be dislodged by washing with running water. Under NIR, the CG/DA-Ppy hydrogel showed significant antimicrobial properties. Moreover, the CG/DA-Ppy hydrogel had excellent biocompatibility. In addition, CG/DA-Ppy hydrogel was effective in scavenging ROS, inducing macrophage polarization towards the M2 phenotype, and modulating the level of wound inflammation in vitro. Finally, it was confirmed in rat-infected wounds that the tissue regeneration effect and collagen deposition in the CG/DA-Ppy + NIR group were significantly better than the other groups in the repair of infected wounds, indicating better repair of infected wounds. The results suggested that the photothermal, antioxidant DA-Ppy conductive nanofiber had great potential for application in infected wound healing.

Abstract
Stress concentration surrounding wounds drives fibroblasts into a state of high mechanical tension, leading to the delay of wound healing, exacerbating pathological fibrosis, and even causing tissue dysfunction. Here, an innovative skin stress-shielding hydrogel wound dressing is reported that makes the wound sites shrink as a response to body temperature and then remolds the stress micro-environment of wound sites to reduce the formation of skin scars. Composed of a modified natural temperature-sensitive polymer cross-linked with polyacrylic acid networks, this hydrogel wound dressing has demonstrated a substantial decrease in scar area for full-thickness wounds in rat models. The physical forces exerted by the wound dressing are instrumental in attenuating the activation and transduction of fibroblasts within the wound sites, thereby mitigating the excessive deposition of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Notably, the wound dressing significantly down-regulates the expression of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and collagen I, while concurrently exerting a dramatic inhibitory effect on the integrin-focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/phosphorylated-FAK (p-FAK) signaling pathway. Collectively, the fabrication of functional hydrogels with a stress-shielding profile is a new route for achieving scar-less wound healing, thus offering immense potential for improving clinical outcomes and restoring tissue integrity.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogels have been widely used in soft robotics, as well as skin-attached and implantable bioelectronic devices. Among the candidates of conductive fillers, conductive polymers have become popular due to their intrinsic conductivity, high biocompatibility, and mechanical flexibility. However, it is still a challenge to construct conductive polymer-incorporated hydrogels with a good performance using a facile method. Herein, we present a simple method for the one-pot preparation of conductive polymer-incorporated hydrogels involving rapid photocuring of the hydrogel template followed by slow in situ polymerization of pyrrole. Due to the use of a milder oxidant, hydrogen peroxide, for polypyrrole synthesis, the photocuring of the hydrogel template and the growing of polypyrrole proceeded in an orderly manner, making it possible to prepare conductive polymer-incorporated hydrogels in one pot. The preparation process is facile and extensible. Moreover, the obtained hydrogels exhibit a series of properties suitable for biomedical strain sensors, including good conductivity (2.49 mS/cm), high stretchability (>200%), and a low Young's modulus (~30 kPa) that is compatible with human skin.

Abstract
Bacterial infection treatment for chronic wounds has posed a major medical threat and challenge. Bacteria at the wounded sites can compete with the immune system and subsequently invade live tissues, leading to more severe tissue damage. Therefore, there is an urgent demand for wound dressings with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Considering the concept of moist healing, hydrogels with a three-dimensional (3D) network structure are widely used as wound dressings due to their excellent hydrophilicity, water retention properties, and biocompatibility. Developing antibacterial hydrogels for the treatment of infected wounds has been receiving extensive attention recently. This article categorizes antibacterial hydrogels according to their materials and antibacterial modes, and introduces the recent findings and progress regarding their status. More importantly, with the development of emerging technologies, new therapies are utilized to prepare antibacterial hydrogels such as nanoenzymes, photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and other external stimuli-responsive methods. Therefore, this review also examines their progress, challenges, and future trends as wound dressings. In the following studies, there will still be a focus on antibacterial hydrogels that have a high performance, multi-functions, and intelligence, especially biocompatibility, a high and long-lasting antibacterial property, responsiveness, and on-demand therapeutic ability.

Abstract
Skin is the largest organ in the human body and requires proper dressing to facilitate healing after an injury. Wounds on movable parts, such as the elbow, knee, wrist, and neck, usually undergo delayed and inefficient healing due to frequent movements. To better accommodate movable wounds, a variety of functional hydrogels have been successfully developed and used as flexible wound dressings. On the one hand, the mechanical properties, such as adhesion, stretchability, and self-healing, make these hydrogels suitable for mobile wounds and promote the healing process; on the other hand, the bioactivities, such as antibacterial and antioxidant performance, could further accelerate the wound healing process. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in hydrogel-based movable wound dressings and propose the challenges and perspectives of such dressings.

Abstract
Biodegradable self-healing hydrogels with antibacterial property attracted growing attentions in biomedication as wound dressings since they can prevent bacterial infection and promote wound healing process. In this research, a biodegradable self-healing hydrogel with ROS scavenging performance and enhanced tissue adhesion was fabricated from dopamine grafted oxidized pectin (OPD) and naphthoate hydrazide terminated PEO (PEO NH). At the same time, Fe3+ ions were incorporated to endow the hydrogel with near-infrared (NIR) triggered photothermal property to obtain antibacterial activity. The composite hydrogel showed good hemostasis performance based on mussel inspired tissue adhesion with biocompatibility well preserved. As expected, the composition of FeCl3 improved conductivity and endowed photothermal property to the hydrogel. The in vivo wound repairing experiment revealed the 808 nm NIR light triggered photothermal behavior of the hydrogel reduced the inflammation response and promoted wound repairing rate. As a result, this composite FeCl3/hydrogel shows great potential to be an excellent wound dressing for the treatment of infection prong wounds with NIR triggers.

Polydopamine functionalized polyurethane shape memory sponge with controllable expansion performance triggered by near-infrared light for incompressible hemorrhage control. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 232:113590. [PMID: 37862950 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
Uncontrolled expansion of shape memory sponges face a significant challenge in the treatment of lethal incompressible hemorrhage, which can lead to blood overflow or damage to the surrounding tissue. Herein, we developed a polydopamine functionalized polyurethane shape memory sponge (PDA-TPI-PU) with a controllable degree of expansion by near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered stimulation for the treatment of incompressible hemorrhage. The sponge has excellent liquid absorption performance and robust mechanical strength as well as good photothermal conversion ability. Under NIR light of 0.32 W/cm2, the maximum recovery rate of the fixed-shape compression sponge was 91% within 25 s in air and 80% within 25 s in blood. In the SD rat liver penetrating injury model, compared with commercial medical gelatin sponge and PVA sponge, the PDA-TPI-PU sponge could effectively control the bleeding under the NIR light irradiation and did not cause excessive compression of the wound. The sponge with these characteristics shows potential application prospects as a hemostatic material.

Photocatalytic and Photothermal Antimicrobial Mussel-Inspired Nanocomposites for Biomedical Applications. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13272.

Abstract
Bacterial infection has traditionally been treated with antibiotics, but their overuse is leading to the development of antibiotic resistance. This may be mitigated by alternative approaches to prevent or treat bacterial infections without utilization of antibiotics. Among the alternatives is the use of photo-responsive antimicrobial nanoparticles and/or nanocomposites, which present unique properties activated by light. In this study, we explored the combined use of titanium oxide and polydopamine to create nanoparticles with photocatalytic and photothermal antibacterial properties triggered by visible or near-infrared light. Furthermore, as a proof-of-concept, these photo-responsive nanoparticles were combined with mussel-inspired catechol-modified hyaluronic acid hydrogels to form novel light-driven antibacterial nanocomposites. The materials were challenged with models of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. For visible light, the average percentage killed (PK) was 94.6 for E. coli and 92.3 for S. aureus. For near-infrared light, PK for E. coli reported 52.8 and 99.2 for S. aureus. These results confirm the exciting potential of these nanocomposites to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance and also to open the door for further studies to optimize their composition in order to increase their bactericidal efficacy for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance pose significant challenges not only in clinical settings (i.e., implant-associated infections, endocarditis, and urinary tract infections) but also in industrial settings and in the environment, where the spreading of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is on the rise. Indeed, developing effective strategies to prevent biofilm formation and treat infections will be one of the major global challenges in the next few years. As traditional pharmacological treatments are becoming inadequate to curb this problem, a constant commitment to the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies is necessary. Light-triggered therapies have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional approaches due to their non-invasive nature, precise spatial and temporal control, and potential multifunctional properties. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the different biofilm formation stages and the molecular mechanism of biofilm disruption, with a major focus on the quorum sensing machinery. Moreover, we highlight the principal guidelines for the development of light-responsive materials and photosensitive compounds. The synergistic effects of combining light-triggered therapies with conventional treatments are also discussed. Through elegant molecular and material design solutions, remarkable results have been achieved in the fight against biofilm formation and antibacterial resistance. However, further research and development in this field are essential to optimize therapeutic strategies and translate them into clinical and industrial applications, ultimately addressing the global challenges posed by biofilm and antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
An evolving field, nanotechnology has made its mark in the fields of nanoscience, nanoparticles, nanomaterials, and nanomedicine. Specifically, metal nanoparticles have garnered attention for their diverse use and applicability to dressings for wound healing due to their antimicrobial properties. Given their convenient integration into wound dressings, there has been increasing focus dedicated to investigating the physical, mechanical, and biological characteristics of these nanoparticles as well as their incorporation into biocomposite materials, such as hydrogel scaffolds for use in lieu of antibiotics as well as to accelerate and ameliorate healing. Though rigorously tested and applied in both medical and non-medical applications, further investigations have not been carried out to bring metal nanoparticle-hydrogel composites into clinical practice. In this review, we provide an up-to-date, comprehensive review of advancements in the field, with emphasis on implications on wound healing in in vivo experiments.

Abstract
The production and engineering of sustainable materials through green chemistry will have a major role in our mission of transitioning to a more sustainable society. Here, combined catalysis, which is the integration of two or more catalytic cycles or activation modes, provides innovative chemical reactions and material properties efficiently, whereas the single catalytic cycle or activation mode alone fails in promoting a successful reaction. Polyphenolic lignin with its distinctive structural functions acts as an important template to create materials with versatile properties, such as being tough, antimicrobial, self-healing, adhesive, and environmentally adaptable. Sustainable lignin-based materials are generated by merging the catalytic cycle of the quinone-catechol redox reaction with free radical polymerization or oxidative decarboxylation reaction, which explores a wide range of metallic nanoparticles and metal ions as the catalysts. In this review, we present the recent work on engineering lignin-based multifunctional materials devised through combined catalysis. Despite the fruitful employment of this concept to material design and the fact that engineering has provided multifaceted materials able to solve a broad spectrum of challenges, we envision further exploration and expansion of this important concept in material science beyond the catalytic processes mentioned above. This could be accomplished by taking inspiration from organic synthesis where this concept has been successfully developed and implemented.

Abstract
Through the execution of scientific innovations, "smart materials" are shaping the future of technology by interacting and responding to changes in our environment. To make this a successful reality, proper component selection, synthesis procedures, and functional active agents must converge in practical and resource-efficient procedures to lay the foundations for a profitable and sustainable industry. Here we show how the reaction time, temperature, and surface stabilizer concentration impact the most promising functional properties in a cotton-based fabric coated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs@cotton), i.e., the thermal and bactericidal response. The coating quality was characterized and linked to the selected synthesis parameters and correlated by a parallel description of "proof of concept" experiments for the differential heat transfer (conversion and dissipation properties) and the bactericidal response tested against reference bacteria and natural bacterial populations (from a beach, cenote, and swamp of the Yucatan Peninsula). The quantification of functional responses allowed us to establish the relationship between (i) the size and shape of the AgNPs, (ii) the collective response of their agglomerates, and (iii) the thermal barrier role of a surface modifier as PVP. The procedures and evaluations in this work enable a spectrum of synthesis coordinates that facilitate the formulation of application-modulated fabrics, with grounded examples reflected in "smart packaging", "smart clothing", and "smart dressing".
