[PMID: 40037450 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2025.141662] [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: 11/20/2024] [Revised: 02/08/2025] [Accepted: 02/28/2025] [Indexed: 03/06/2025]
Abstract
The development of an all-in-one hydrogel that possesses the desired characteristics of multiple sensing modalities, exceptional electrical conductivity, and high strain sensing performance remains a significant challenge. Here, we employed calcium ions to crosslink and chelate sodium alginate and sodium lignosulfonate within a polyacrylic acid hydrogel network. Additionally, we introduced a conductive polyaniline network through in situ polymerization and performed a solvent exchange with glycerol to produce a multifunctional conductive organo-hydrogel. The resulting hydrogels exhibited remarkable mechanical properties, with a strength of 268 kPa at a tensile strain of 400 %. They also demonstrated resistance to drying and freezing, remaining unfrozen at low temperatures of -60 °C, as well as temperature sensitivity. The incorporation of polyaniline and Ca2+ ions contributed to enhanced electrical conductivity and sensing capabilities, evidenced by gauge factors of 1.39 and 2.13 in the strain ranges of 0-210 % and 210-400 %, respectively. Furthermore, the temperature sensing properties were characterized by a temperature coefficient of resistance of -4.49 % °C-1 and -0.92 % °C-1 in the temperature ranges of -25 to 25 °C and 25 to 60 °C, respectively. Leveraging these advantageous properties, this hydrogel is anticipated to serve as a real-time motion detection device for human activities in extreme conditions.

Therefore, the fundamentals of musculoskeletal electronics and key functionality categories are introduced. Subsequently, recent advances in musculoskeletal electronics are presented from the perspectives of "in vitro" to "in vivo" signal detection, interactive modulation, and therapeutic interventions for healing and recovery. Additionally, nine strategy avenues for the development of advanced musculoskeletal electronic materials and devices are proposed. Finally, concise summaries and perspectives are proposed to highlight the directions that deserve focused attention in this booming field.

Organic-inorganic hybrid ZIF-8/MXene/cellulose-based textiles with improved antibacterial and electromagnetic interference shielding performance. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131080. [PMID: 38537850 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131080] [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: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Despite the tremendous efforts on developing antibacterial wearable textile materials containing Ti3C2Tx MXene, the singular antimicrobial mechanism, poor antibacterial durability, and oxidation susceptibility of MXene limits their applications. In this context, flexible multifunctional cellulosic textiles were prepared via layer-by-layer assembly of MXene and the in-situ synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). Specifically, the introduction of highly conductive MXene enhanced the interface interactions between the ZIF-8 layer and cellulose fibers, endowing the green-based materials with outstanding synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) activity and adjustable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance. In-situ polymerization formed a MXene/ZIF-8 bilayer structure, promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) while protecting MXene from oxidation. The as-prepared smart textile exhibited excellent bactericidal efficacy of >99.99 % against both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) after 5 min of NIR (300 mW cm-2) irradiation which is below the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit. The sustained released Zn2+ from the ZIF-8 layer achieved a bactericidal efficiency of over 99.99 % within 48 h without NIR light. Furthermore, this smart textile also demonstrated remarkable EMI shielding efficiency (47.7 dB). Clearly, this study provides an elaborate strategy for designing and constructing multifunctional cellulose-based materials for a variety of applications.

Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an artificial polymer with good biocompatibility and a low cost, which has a wide range of applications. In this study, the dynamic response of PEG single chains to different ion concentrations was investigated from a microscopic point of view based on single-molecule force spectroscopy, revealing unique interactions that go beyond the traditional sensor-design paradigm. Under low concentrations of potassium chloride, PEG single chains exhibit a gradual reduction in rigidity, while, conversely, high concentrations induce a progressive increase in rigidity. This dichotomy serves as the cornerstone for a profound understanding of PEG conformational dynamics under diverse ion environments. Capitalizing on the remarkable sensitivity of PEG single chains to ion concentration shifts, we introduce innovative sensor-design ideas. Rooted in the adaptive nature of PEG single chains, these sensor designs extend beyond the traditional applications, promising advancements in environmental monitoring, healthcare, and materials science.

Abstract
In this study, chitin fibers (CFs) were combined with molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) to develop high-performance sensors, and chitin carbon materials were innovatively introduced into the application of gas sensing. MoS2/CFs composites were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method. The surface properties of the composites were greatly improved, and the fire resistance effect was remarkable compared with that of the chitin monomer. In the gas-sensitive performance test, the overall performance of the MoS2/CFs composite was more than three times better than that of the MoS2 monomer and showed excellent long-term stability, with less than 10% performance degradation in three months. Extending to the field of strain sensing, MoS2/CFs composites can realize real-time signal conversion in tensile and motion performance tests, which can help inspectors make analytical judgments in response to the analysis results. The extensive application of sensing materials in more fields is expected to be further developed. Based on the recycling of waste chitin textile materials, this paper expands the potential applications of chitin materials in the fields of gas monitoring, biomedicine, behavioral discrimination and intelligent monitoring.

Abstract
Stretchable electronics have received intense attention due to their broad application prospects in many areas, and can withstand large deformations and form close contact with curved surfaces. Stretchable conductors are vital components of stretchable electronic devices used in wearables, soft robots, and human-machine interactions. Recent advances in stretchable conductors have motivated basic scientific and technological research efforts. Here, we outline and analyse the development of stretchable conductors in transistors and circuits, and examine advances in materials, device engineering, and preparation technologies. We divide the existing approaches to constructing stretchable transistors with stretchable conductors into the following two types: geometric engineering and intrinsic stretchability engineering. Finally, we consider the challenges and outlook in this field for delivering stretchable electronics.

Abstract
Ionically-conductive hydrogels are attracting increasing interest as skin-like sensors, however, the fabrication of ion-conductive hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties, high conductivity, self-adhesion and anti-freezing ability for high-performance sensors remains a challenge. Herein, a highly ion-conductive hydrogel is prepared by introducing LiCl into polyacrylamide/hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (PAM/HPMC) composite hydrogel. The introduction of LiCl simultaneously endows the PAM/HPMC/LiCl hydrogel with outstanding stretchability (1453 %), high tensile strength (135 kPa), skin-like elasticity (9.18 kPa), high conductivity (7.85 S/m), good adhesiveness and wide operating temperature range. Impressively, this ion-conductive hydrogel can be utilized in skin-like sensor, which achieves high strain sensitivity (GF = 11.19) with wide sensing ranges (up to 600 %), and excellent endurance over 250 consecutive stretching. As a result, the wearable sensor assembled from the hydrogels can be used to detect complex human activities with high stability even at -40 °C. This work promotes the development of ion-conductive hydrogels with broad operating temperature in advanced sensory platform.
