Abstract
Over the years, polysaccharides such as chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid, k-carrageenan, xanthan gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, pectin, and starch, alone or in combination with proteins and/or synthetic polymers, have been used to engineer an extensive portfolio of hydrogels with remarkable features. The application of polysaccharide-based hydrogels has the potential to alleviate challenges related to bioavailability, solubility, stability, and targeted delivery of phytocompounds, contributing to the development of innovative and efficient drug delivery systems and functional food formulations. This review highlights the current knowledge acquired on the preparation, features and applications of polysaccharide/phytocompounds hydrogel-based hybrid systems in wound management, drug delivery, functional foods, and food industry. The structural, functional, and biological requirements of polysaccharides and phytocompounds on the overall performance of such hybrid systems, and their impact on the application domains are also discussed.

Abstract
With the increment in global energy consumption and severe environmental pollution, it is urgently needed to explore green and sustainable materials. Inspired by nature, catechol groups in mussel adhesion proteins have been successively understood and utilized as novel biomimetic materials. In parallel, cellulose presents a wide class of functional materials rating from macro-scale to nano-scale components. The cross-over among both research fields alters the introduction of impressive materials with potential engineering properties, where catechol-containing materials supply a general stage for the functionalization of cellulose or cellulose derivatives. In this review, the role of catechol groups in the modification of cellulose and cellulose derivatives is discussed. A broad variety of advanced applications of cellulose-based catechol-containing materials, including adhesives, hydrogels, aerogels, membranes, textiles, pulp and papermaking, composites, are presented. Furthermore, some critical remaining challenges and opportunities are studied to mount the way toward the rational purpose and applications of cellulose-based catechol-containing materials.

Abstract
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels are water-rich, three-dimensional (3D) network materials that are similar to the tissue structure of living organisms. This feature gives hydrogels a wide range of potential applications, including drug delivery systems, articular cartilage regeneration, and tissue engineering. Due to the large amount of water contained in hydrogels, achieving hydrogels with comprehensive properties remains a major challenge, especially for isotropic hydrogels. This study innovatively prepares a multiscale-reinforced PVA hydrogel from molecular-level coupling to nanoscale enhancement by chemically cross-linking poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and in situ assembled aromatic polyamide nanofibers (ANFs). The optimized ANFs-PVA-PVP (APP) hydrogels have a tensile strength of ≈9.7 MPa, an elongation at break of ≈585%, a toughness of ≈31.84 MJ/m3, a compressive strength of ≈10.6 MPa, and a high-water content of ≈80%. It is excellent among all reported PVA hydrogels and even comparable to some anisotropic hydrogels. System characterizations show that those performances are attributed to the particular multiscale load-bearing structure and multiple interactions between ANFs and PVA. Moreover, APP hydrogels exhibit excellent biocompatibility and a low friction coefficient (≈0.4). These valuable performances pave the way for broad potential in many advanced applications such as biological tissue replacement, flexible wearable devices, electronic skin, and in vivo sensors.

Abstract
Traditional petroleum-based plastics have high energy consumption, require professional equipment, are non-degradable after use, and lack antibacterial properties, making it impossible to achieve long-lasting freshness in fruits and vegetables. Herein, we report a novel co-type film-forming method with low energy consumption and without production equipment, which uses PVA-borax gel as a substrate and adds a certain proportion of CMC and TA to prepare multifunctional CMC/TA@PVA-borax composite hydrogels (CTPB). The dynamic borax ester bonding and hydrogen bonding in the CTPB hydrogel results in an ultra-high tensile strength of more than 5500% and rapid self-healing within 8 s. Interestingly, hydrogels can be arbitrarily shaped and stretched like play dough and thus can be stretched into ductile films by co-type film formation. The antimicrobial properties of the hydrogel film can be attributed to the synergistic effects of TA and borax. The mussel structure of TA allows the hydrogel film to adhere directly to different surfaces for more effective bacterial killing. In addition, the hydrogel film has a high level of biosafety and biodegradability and shows good performance in fruit storage. This study provides a convenient and low-energy method for the preparation of films, which in part reduces the increasing environmental pollution caused by petroleum-based plastics.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The development of gels capable to adapt and act at the interface of rough surfaces is a central topic in modern science for Cultural Heritage preservation. To overcome the limitations of solvents or polymer solutions, commonly used in the restoration practice, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) "twin-chain" polymer networks (TC-PNs) have been recently proposed. The properties of this new class of gels, that are the most performing gels available for Cultural Heritage preservation, are mostly unexplored. This paper investigates how chemical modifications affect gels' structure and their rheological behavior, producing new gelled systems with enhanced and tunable properties for challenging applications, not restricted to Cultural Heritage preservation. EXPERIMENTS In this study, the PVA-TC-PNs structural and functional properties were changed by functionalization with sebacic acid into a new class of TC-PNs. Functionalization affects the porosity and nanostructure of the network, changing its uptake/release of fluids and favoring the uptake of organic solvents with various polarity, a crucial feature to boost the versatility of TC-PNs in practical applications. FINDINGS The functionalized gels exhibited unprecedented performances during the cleaning of contemporary paintings from the Peggy Gugghenheim collection (Venice), whose restoration with traditional solvents and swabs would be difficult to avoid possible disfigurements to the painted layers. These results candidate the functionalized TC-PNs as a new, highly promising class of gels in art preservation.

Abstract
Load-bearing biological tissues, such as cartilage and muscles, exhibit several crucial properties, including high elasticity, strength, and recoverability. These characteristics enable these tissues to endure significant mechanical stresses and swiftly recover after deformation, contributing to their exceptional durability and functionality. In contrast, while hydrogels are highly biocompatible and hold promise as synthetic biomaterials, their inherent network structure often limits their ability to simultaneously possess a diverse range of superior mechanical properties. As a result, the applications of hydrogels are significantly constrained. This article delves into the design mechanisms and mechanical properties of various tough hydrogels and investigates their applications in tissue engineering, flexible electronics, and other fields. The objective is to provide insights into the fabrication and application of hydrogels with combined high strength, stretchability, toughness, and fast recovery as well as their future development directions and challenges.

Abstract
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) biocomposite films reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and biologically active tannic acid (TA) were prepared. The influence of different concentrations of CNF and TA in the PVA polymer matrix was investigated in terms of mechanical properties, thermal properties and hydrophobicity improvement of the prepared films. The results showed that in all cases the addition of CNF and TA improved the values of tensile strength and elastic modulus. The PVA film with 10 % CNF exhibited a 30 % higher tensile strength, and the three-component PVA film with 2 % CNF and 10 % TA (P2C10T) exhibited a 40 % higher tensile strength compared to the neat PVA film. The thermal properties (Tg, Tonset) of the PVA biocomposite films were greatly improved, with a significant effect observed for the three-component PVA films. The Tg of the PVA film with 10 % CNF and 10 % TA was 87 °C, 12 °C higher than that of the neat PVA film. For three-component PVA biocomposites with 4 % and 6 % CNF and with all weight percentages of TA, the Tonset shifted to a higher temperature range by about 30 °C compared to the neat PVA film. The PVA film with 2 % CNF and 10 % TA exhibited about a 20° higher contact angle than the neat PVA film. Moreover, the addition of both fillers to the PVA matrix resulted in PVA biocomposites with lower water absorption. PVA film with 10 % TA absorbed about 90 % less water and PVA film with 10 % CNF and 10 % TA absorbed about 80 % less water than the neat PVA film after the films were soaked in water for one hour. The better properties of the composite films produced are due to hydrogen and ester bonds between the components of the composite, which was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Antioxidant effective films were also obtained due to the biologically active TA to the PVA and PVA/CNF systems.

Abstract
Underwater artefacts are vulnerable to damage and loss of archaeological information during the extraction process. To solve this problem, it is necessary to apply temporary consolidation materials to fix the position of marine artifacts. A cross-linked network hydrogel composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), tannic acid (TA), borax, and calcium chloride has been created. Four hydrogels with varying concentrations of tannic acid were selected to evaluate the effect. The hydrogel exhibited exceptional strength, high adhesion, easy removal, and minimal residue. The PVA/TA hydrogel and epoxy resin were combined to extract waterlogged wooden artifacts and marine archaeological ceramics from a 0.4 m deep tank. This experiment demonstrates the feasibility of using hydrogel for the extraction of marine artifacts.

Abstract
Recently, the demand for organ transplantation has promptly increased due to the enhanced incidence of body organ failure, the increasing efficiency of transplantation, and the improvement in post-transplant outcomes. However, due to a lack of suitable organs for transplantation to fulfill current demand, significant organ shortage problems have emerged. Developing efficient technologies in combination with tissue engineering (TE) has opened new ways of producing engineered tissue substitutes. The use of natural nanoparticles (NPs) such as nanocellulose (NC) and nano-lignin should be used as suitable candidates in TE due to their desirable properties. Many studies have used these components to form scaffolds and three-dimensional (3D) cultures of cells derived from different tissues for tissue repair. Interestingly, these natural NPs can afford scaffolds a degree of control over their characteristics, such as modifying their mechanical strength and distributing bioactive compounds in a controlled manner. These bionanomaterials are produced from various sources and are highly compatible with human-derived cells as they are derived from natural components. In this review, we discuss some new studies in this field. This review summarizes the scaffolds based on NC, counting nanocrystalline cellulose and nanofibrillated cellulose. Also, the efficient approaches that can extract cellulose with high purity and increased safety are discussed. We concentrate on the most recent research on the use of NC-based scaffolds for the restoration, enhancement, or replacement of injured organs and tissues, such as cartilage, skin, arteries, brain, and bone. Finally, we suggest the experiments and promises of NC-based TE scaffolds.

Abstract
Electronic conductive hydrogels have prompted immense research interest as flexible sensing materials. However, establishing a continuous electronic conductive network within a hydrogel is still highly challenging. Herein, we develop a new strategy to establish a continuous corrugated carbon network within a hydrogel by embedding carbonized crepe paper into the hydrogel with its corrugations perpendicular to the stretching direction using a casting technique. The corrugated carbon network within the as-prepared composite hydrogel serves as a rigid conductive network to simultaneously improve the tensile strength and conductivity of the composite hydrogel. The composite hydrogel also generates a crack structure when it is stretched, enabling the composite hydrogel to show ultrahigh sensitivity (gauge factor = 59.7 and 114 at strain ranges of 0-60 and 60-100%, respectively). The composite hydrogel also shows an ultralow detection limit of 0.1%, an ultrafast response/recovery time of 75/95 ms, and good stability and durability (5000 cycles at 10% strain) when used as a resistive strain sensing material. Moreover, the good stretchability, adhesiveness, and self-healing ability of the hydrogel were also effectively retained after the corrugated carbon network was introduced into the hydrogel. Because of its outstanding sensing performance, the composite hydrogel has potential applications in sensing various human activities, including accurately recording subtle variations in wrist pulse waves and small-/large-scale complex human activities. Our work provides a new approach to develop economical, environmentally friendly, and reliable electronic conductive hydrogels with ultrahigh sensing performance for the future development of electronic skin and wearable devices.

Abstract
Nature-derived or biologically encouraged hydrogels have attracted considerable interest in numerous biomedical applications owing to their multidimensional utility and effectiveness. The internal architecture of a hydrogel network, the chemistry of the raw materials involved, interaction across the interface of counter ions, and the ability to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) govern the clinical efficacy of the designed hydrogels. This review focuses on the mechanistic viewpoint of different biologically driven/inspired biomacromolecules that encourages the architectural development of hydrogel networks. In addition, the advantage of hydrogels by mimicking the ECM and the significance of the raw material selection as an indicator of bioinertness is deeply elaborated in the review. Furthermore, the article reviews and describes the application of polysaccharides, proteins, and synthetic polymer-based multimodal hydrogels inspired by or derived from nature in different biomedical areas. The review discusses the challenges and opportunities in biomaterials along with future prospects in terms of their applications in biodevices or functional components for human health issues. This review provides information on the strategy and inspiration from nature that can be used to develop a link between multimodal hydrogels as the main frame and its utility in biomedical applications as the primary target.

[PMID: 37496901 PMCID: PMC10366438 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023] Open
Abstract
This review summarizes the applications of some of the advanced materials. It included the synthesis of several nanoparticles such as metal oxide nanoparticles (e.g., Fe3O4, ZnO, ZrOSO4, MoO3-x, CuO, AgFeO2, Co3O4, CeO2, SiO2, and CuFeO2); metal hydroxide nanosheets (e.g., Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2·2H2O, Zn(OH)(NO3)·H2O, and Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2); metallic nanoparticles (Ag, Au, Pd, and Pt); carbon-based nanomaterials (graphene, graphene oxide (GO), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), and carbon dots (CDs)); biopolymers (cellulose, nanocellulose, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNFs), and chitosan); organic polymers (e.g. covalent-organic frameworks (COFs)); and hybrid materials (e.g. metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)). Most of these materials were applied in several fields such as environmental-based technologies (e.g., water remediation, air purification, gas storage), energy (production of hydrogen, dimethyl ether, solar cells, and supercapacitors), and biomedical sectors (sensing, biosensing, cancer therapy, and drug delivery). They can be used as efficient adsorbents and catalysts to remove emerging contaminants e.g., inorganic (i.e., heavy metals) and organic (e.g., dyes, antibiotics, pesticides, and oils in water via adsorption. They can be also used as catalysts for catalytic degradation reactions such as redox reactions of pollutants. They can be used as filters for air purification by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They can be used for hydrogen production via water splitting, alcohol oxidation, and hydrolysis of NaBH4. Nanomedicine for some of these materials was also included being an effective agent as an antibacterial, nanocarrier for drug delivery, and probe for biosensing.

Abstract
Hydrogels with prominent flexibility, versatility, and high sensitivity play an important role in the design and fabrication of wearable sensors. In particular, these flexible conductive hydrogels exhibit elastic modulus that is highly compatible with human skin, demonstrating the great potential for flexible sensing. However, the preparation of high-performance hydrogel-based sensors that can restrain extreme cold conditions is still challenging. Herein, a novel anti-freezing composite hydrogel with superior conductivity based on polyacrylamide (PAM), LiCl, and PEDOT:PSS coated cellulose nanofibrils (PAM/PEDOT:PSS/CNF) is constructed. The addition of CNF increased the hydrogen bonding sites of the molecular chains in the micro, thus improving the mechanical strength and the conductivity of the hydrogel in the macro. The hydrogels achieve a high tensile strength of 0.19 MPa, compressive strength of 0.92 MPa, and dissipation energy of 41.9 kJ/m3. Otherwise, LiCl increases the interactions between the colloidal phase and water molecules, endowing the hydrogels with excellent freezing tolerance. Specifically, the optimized hydrogel of 45 % LiCl exhibited stable mechanical properties at -40 °C. Finally, the composite hydrogel was used to assemble flexible sensors with high sensitivity of 10.3 MPa-1, which can detect a wide range of human movements and physiological activities.

Abstract
The development of green, biomedical hydrogels using natural polymers is of great significance. From this viewpoint, guar gum (GG) has been widely used for hydrogel preparation; however, its mechanical strength and adhesion often cannot satisfy the biomedical application. Therefore, in the present study, gelatin and a cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) were first applied to overcome the defects of guar gum hydrogel. Dopamine was self−polymerized into polydopamine (PDA) on the gelatin chain at alkaline condition, and gelatin−polydopamine (Gel−PDA) further cross−linked with guar gum and CNC via the borate−didiol bond, intramolecular Schiff base reaction, and Michael addition. CNC not only interacted with guar gum using borate chemistry but also acted as a mechanical reinforcer. The obtained Gel−PDA+GG+CNC hydrogel had an excellent self−healing capacity, injectability, and adhesion due to the catechol groups of PDA. Moreover, dopamine introduction caused a significant increase in the anti−oxidant activity. This hydrogel was cyto− and hemo−compatible, which implies a potential usage in the medical field.

Abstract
Modern technology has enabled the isolation of nanocellulose from plant-based fibers, and the current trend focuses on utilizing nanocellulose in a broad range of sustainable materials applications. Water is generally seen as a detrimental component when in contact with nanocellulose-based materials, just like it is harmful for traditional cellulosic materials such as paper or cardboard. However, water is an integral component in plants, and many applications of nanocellulose already accept the presence of water or make use of it. This review gives a comprehensive account of nanocellulose-water interactions and their repercussions in all key areas of contemporary research: fundamental physical chemistry, chemical modification of nanocellulose, materials applications, and analytical methods to map the water interactions and the effect of water on a nanocellulose matrix.

Abstract
Ionotronic hydrogels have attracted significant attention in emerging fields such as wearable devices, flexible electronics, and energy devices. To date, the design of multifunctional ionotronic hydrogels with strong interfacial adhesion, rapid self-healing, three-dimensional (3D) printing processability, and high conductivity are key requirements for future wearable devices. Herein, we report the rational design and facile synthesis of 3D printable, self-adhesive, self-healing, and conductive ionotronic hydrogels based on the synergistic dual reversible interactions of poly(vinyl alcohol), borax, pectin, and tannic acid. Multifunctional ionotronic hydrogels exhibit strong adhesion to various substrates with different roughness and chemical components, including porcine skin, glass, nitrile gloves, and plastics (normal adhesion strength of 55 kPa on the skin). In addition, the ionotronic hydrogels exhibit intrinsic ionic conductivity imparting strain-sensing properties with a gauge factor of 2.5 up to a wide detection range of approximately 2000%, as well as improved self-healing behavior. Based on these multifunctional properties, we further demonstrate the use of ionotronic hydrogels in the 3D printing process for implementing complex patterns as wearable strain sensors for human motion detection. This study is expected to provide a new avenue for the design of multifunctional ionotronic hydrogels, enabling their potential applications in wearable healthcare devices.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based wearable epidermal sensors (HWESs) have attracted widespread attention in health monitoring, especially considering their colorimetric readout capability. However, it remains challenging for HWESs to work at extreme temperatures with long term stability due to the existence of water. Herein, a wearable transparent epidermal sensor with thermal compatibility and long term stability for smart colorimetric multi-signals monitoring is developed, based on an anti-freezing and anti-drying hydrogel with high transparency (over 90% transmittance), high stretchability (up to 1500%) and desirable adhesiveness to various kinds of substrates. The hydrogel consists of polyacrylic acid, polyacrylamide, and tannic acid-coated cellulose nanocrystals in glycerin/water binary solvents. When glycerin readily forms strong hydrogen bonds with water, the hydrogel exhibits outstanding thermal compatibility. Furthermore, the hydrogel maintains excellent adhesion, stretchability, and transparency after long term storage (45 days) or at subzero temperatures (-20 °C). For smart colorimetric multi-signals monitoring, the freestanding smart colorimetric HWESs are utilized for simultaneously monitoring the pH, T and light, where colorimetric signals can be read and stored by artificial intelligence strategies in a real time manner. In summary, the developed wearable transparent epidermal sensor holds great potential for monitoring multi-signals with visible readouts in long term health monitoring.

Abstract
Biomedical materials are in high demand for transplantation in cases of diseased or damaged bone tissue. Hydrogels are potential candidates for bone defect repair; however, traditional hydrogels lack the necessary strength and multiple functions. Herein, we effectively synthesized a cellulose nanofiber (CNF)-reinforced oxidized alginate (OSA)/gelatin (Gel) semi-interpenetrating network hydrogel through a facile one-step approach without a cross-linker by using the synergistic effects of dynamic imine bonds and hydrogen bonds. The OSA/Gel/CNF sample showed a notable compressive modulus (up to 361.3 KPa). The gelation time (~150 s) ensured excellent injectability. Self-healing exhibited a high efficiency of up to 92 %, which would enable minimally invasive, dynamic adjustments and personalized therapies. Furthermore, the OSA/Gel/CNF hydrogel showed excellent biomineralization (Ca/P ratio ~ 1.69) and enhanced preosteoblast cell (MC3T3-E1) viability (over 96 %), proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. Thus, this multifunctional hydrogel has promising potential for using in the bone tissue repairs.

Abstract
Development of biocompatible hydrogel adhesives with robust tissue adhesion to realize instant hemorrhage control and injury sealing, especially for emergency rescue and tissue repair, is still challenging. Herein, we report a potent hydrogel adhesive by free radical polymerization of N-acryloyl aspartic acid (AASP) in a facile and straightforward way. Through delicate adjustment of steric hindrance, the synergistic effect between interface interactions and cohesion energy can be achieved in PAASP hydrogel verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis and simulation calculation compared to poly (N-acryloyl glutamic acid) (PAGLU) and poly (N-acryloyl amidomalonic acid) (PAAMI) hydrogels. The adhesion strength of the PAASP hydrogel could reach 120 kPa to firmly seal the broken organs to withstand the external force with persistent stability under physiological conditions, and rapid hemostasis in different hemorrhage models on mice is achieved using PAASP hydrogel as physical barrier. Furthermore, the paper-based Fe3+ transfer printing method is applied to construct PAASP-based Janus hydrogel patch with both adhesive and non-adhesive surfaces, by which simultaneous wound healing and postoperative anti-adhesion can be realized in gastric perforation model on mice. This advanced hydrogel may show vast potential as bio-adhesives for emergency rescue and tissue/organ repair. The hydrogel with good mechanical properties and adhesiveness is designed. The hydrogel adhesive can act as physical barrier for emergency rescue. The Janus hydrogel can realize efficient gastric perforation repair on mice.

Abstract
Polymeric hydrogels have drawn considerable attention as a biomedical material for their unique mechanical and chemical properties, which are very similar to natural tissues. Among the conventional hydrogel materials, self-healing hydrogels (SHH) are showing their promise in biomedical applications in tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery. Additionally, their responses can be controlled via external stimuli (e.g., pH, temperature, pressure, or radiation). Identifying a suitable combination of viscous and elastic materials, lipophilicity and biocompatibility are crucial challenges in the development of SHH. Furthermore, the trade-off relation between the healing performance and the mechanical toughness also limits their real-time applications. Additionally, short-term and long-term effects of many SHH in the in vivo model are yet to be reported. This review will discuss the mechanism of various SHH, their recent advancements, and their challenges in tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery.

Abstract
Conductive polyzwitterionic hydrogels with good adhesion properties show potential prospect in implantable electrodes and electronic devices. Adhesive property of polyzwitterionic hydrogels in humid environments can be improved by the introduction of catechol groups. However, common catechol modifiers can usually quench free radicals, resulting in a contradiction between long-term tissue adhesion and hydrogel toughness. By adding tannic acid (TA) to the dispersion of clay nanosheets and nanofibers, we designed TA-coated nanoflowers and nanofibers as the reinforcing phase to prepare polyzwitterionic hydrogels with adhesion properties. The hydrogel combines the mussel-like and zwitterionic co-adhesive mechanism to maintain long-term adhesion in underwater environments. In particular, the noncovalent cross-linking provided by the nanoflower structure effectively compensates for the defects caused by free-radical quenching so that the hydrogel obtained a high stretchability of over 2900% and a toughness of 1.16 J/m3. The hydrogel also has excellent anti-biofouling property and shows resistance to bacteria and cells. In addition, the hydrogel possesses a low modulus (<10 kPa) and ionic conductivity (0.25 S/m), making it an ideal material for the preparation of implantable electrodes.

Abstract
Nanoadhesives can achieve tight wound closure by connecting biomacromolecules from both sides. However, previously developed adhesive systems suffered from suboptimal wound healing efficiency due to the lack of interparticle cohesion, sufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging sites, and angiogenesis consideration. Herein, we developed a polymer entangled porous nanoadhesive system to address the above challenge by synergy of three functional components. Firstly, hybrid mesoporous silica nanoparticles with highly integrated polydopamine (MS-PDA) were prepared by templated synthesis. The entangling between PVA polymer and MS-PDA contributed to much stronger cohesion between nanoparticles, which led to 75% larger adhesion strength. As confirmed by in vitro and in vivo evaluations, the highly exposed catechol groups boosted the scavenging activity of ROS (1.8-4.1 fold enhancement as compared with nonporous counterpart). Consequently, more macrophages exhibited anti-inflammatory phenotype, leading to 2-2.6 fold lower pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Moreover, the sustained release of bioactive SiO44- by the disintegration of nanoparticles contributed to ∼3-fold higher expression of VEGF and enhanced new blood vessel formation, as well as better wound repair. This platform can provide a new paradigm for developing multifunctional nanoadhesive systems in treating skin wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: PVA polymer entangled mesoporous nanoadhesives of polydopamine (PDA)/silica hybrids with the combination of excellent wound closure effect, boosted ROS-scavenging activity, and significant angiogenesis ability were developed for improving the suboptimal skin wound healing efficiency. This strategy not only greatly advances our ability to rationally integrate repairing elements in nanoadhesives for manipulating combined processes of interfacial events during wound healing, but also offers general implications toward application of polymers to reinforce the adhesion strength in nanoadhesive systems. In addition, our findings on the impacts of pore effects mediated ROS species conversion and polymer entanglement may also trigger great interests and facilitate the development/broad application of therapeutic adhesives.

Abstract
Tannic acid (TA), a natural polyphenol, is a hydrolysable amphiphilic tannin derivative of gallic acid with several galloyl groups in its structure. Tannic acid interacts with various organic, inorganic, hydrophilic, and hydrophobic materials such as proteins and polysaccharides via hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, coordinative bonding, and hydrophobic interactions. Tannic acid has been studied for various biomedical applications as a natural crosslinker with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer activities. In this review, we focus on TA-based hydrogels for biomaterials engineering to help biomaterials scientists and engineers better realize TA's potential in the design and fabrication of novel hydrogel biomaterials. The interactions of TA with various natural or synthetic compounds are deliberated, discussing parameters that affect TA-material interactions thus providing a fundamental set of criteria for utilizing TA in hydrogels for tissue healing and regeneration. The review also discusses the merits and demerits of using TA in developing hydrogels either through direct incorporation in the hydrogel formulation or indirectly via immersing the final product in a TA solution. In general, TA is a natural bioactive molecule with diverse potential for engineering biomedical hydrogels.

Abstract
Stretchable solvent-free ionic conductors with outstanding physicochemical stability are attractive in emerging sensing devices. However, existing ionic conductors struggle to keep high strain sensitivity with a gauge factor (GF) smaller than 4 at a strain range of up to 100%, which seriously affects the reliability of the signal output. Herein, we prepared a novel solvent-free ionic conductor, consisting of a hybrid cross-linked polymer network and mobile ions. Exquisite reticular wrinkling microstructures with ion channels were formed spontaneously by utilizing modulus mismatch in shrinkage during polymerization. The ion channels promote the ionic transport in the polymer, and the reticular wrinkling microstructures dramatically reinforce the mechanical stability and enhance energy dissipation. After being carefully optimized, the as-prepared ionic conductor demonstrated many unique advantages including perfect physicochemical stability, wide operating temperature range, the high ionic conductivity of 1.17 mS cm-1 at 15 °C and excellent sensitivity with GF as high as 7.03 at 100% strain. Moreover, benefiting from the abundant hydrogen bonds and ionic interactions in the polymer network, the ionic conductor also possesses self-healable and adhesion ability. The resulting devices can be used for quantitative evaluation of human joint motion and exhibit great potential in soft electronics or iontronics.

Abstract
Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, has been widely attracted owing to availability, intoxicity, and biodegradability. Environmentally friendly hydrogels were successfully prepared from water hyacinth-extracted cellulose using a dissolution approach with sodium hydroxide and urea, and sodium tetraborate decahydrate (borax) was used to generate cross-linking between hydroxyl groups of cellulose chains. The incorporation of borax could provide the superabsorbent feature into the cellulose hydrogels. The uncross-linked cellulose hydrogels had a swelling ratio of 325%, while the swelling ratio of the cross-linked hydrogels could achieve ~ 900%. With increasing borax concentrations, gel fraction of the cross-linked hydrogels increased considerably. Borax also formed char on cellulose surfaces and generated water with direct contact with flame, resulting in flame ignition and propagation delay. Moreover, the cross-linked cellulose-based hydrogels showed antibacterial activity for gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus). The superabsorbent cross-linked cellulose-based hydrogels prepared in this work could possibly be used for wound dressing, agricultural, and flame retardant coating applications.

Abstract
Stable ambulatory electrophysiological sensing is widely utilized for smart e-healthcare monitoring, clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, treatment of neurological diseases, and intelligent human-machine interaction. As the favorable signal interaction platform of electrophysiological sensing, the conformal property of on-skin electrodes is an extremely crucial factor that can affect the stability of long-term ambulatory electrophysiological sensing. From the perspective of materials, to realize conformal contact between electrodes and skin for stable sensing, highly conformal polymers are strongly demanding and attracting ever-growing attention. In this review, we focused on the recent progress of highly conformal polymers for ambulatory electrophysiological sensing, including their synthetic methods, conformal property, and potential applications. Specifically, three main types of highly conformal polymers for stable long-term electrophysiological signals monitoring were proposed, including nature silk fibroin based conformal polymers, marine mussels bio-inspired conformal polymers, and other conformal polymers such as zwitterionic polymers and polyacrylamide. Furthermore, the future challenges and opportunities of preparing highly conformal polymers for on-skin electrodes were also highlighted. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The strain-stiffening and self-healing capabilities of biological tissues enable them to preserve the structures and functions from deformation and damage. However, biodegradable hydrogel materials with both of these biomimetic characteristics have not been explored. Here, a series of strain-stiffened, self-healing hydrogels are developed through dynamic imine crosslinking of semiflexible O-carboxymethyl chitosan (main chain) and flexible dibenzaldehyde-terminated telechelic poly(ethylene glycol) (crosslinker). The biomimetic hydrogels can be reversibly stiffened to resist the deformation and can even recover to their original state after repeated damages. The mechanical properties and stiffening responses of the hydrogels are tailored by varying the component contents (1-3%) and the crosslinker length (4 or 8 kDa). A combinatorial system of in situ coherent small-angle X-ray scattering with rheological testing is developed to investigate the network structures (in sizes 1.5-160 nm) of hydrogels under shear strains and reveals that the strain-stiffening originates from the fibrous chitosan network with poly(ethylene glycol) crosslinking fixation. The biomimetic hydrogels with biocompatibility and biodegradability promote wound healing. The study provides an insight into the nanoscale design of biomimetic strain-stiffening self-healing hydrogels for biomedical applications.

Abstract
With the "many-headed" slime mold Physarum polycelphalum having been voted the unicellular organism of the year 2021 by the German Society of Protozoology, we are reminded that a large part of nature's huge variety of life forms is easily overlooked - both by the general public and researchers alike. Indeed, whereas several animals such as mussels or spiders have already inspired many scientists to create novel materials with glue-like properties, there is much more to discover in the flora and fauna. Here, we provide an overview of naturally occurring slimy substances with adhesive properties and categorize them in terms of the main chemical motifs that convey their stickiness, i.e., carbohydrate-, protein-, and glycoprotein-based biological glues. Furthermore, we highlight selected recent developments in the area of material design and functionalization that aim at making use of such biological compounds for novel applications in medicine - either by conjugating adhesive motifs found in nature to biological or synthetic macromolecules or by synthetically creating (multi-)functional materials, which combine adhesive properties with additional, problem-specific (and sometimes tunable) features.

Abstract
The biodegradability and mechanical properties of polysaccharides are dependent on their architecture (linear or branched) as well as their crystallinity (size of crystals and crystallinity percent). The amount of crystalline zones in the polysaccharide significantly governs their ultimate properties and applications (from packaging to biomedicine). Although synthesis, characterization, and properties of polysaccharides have been the subject of several review papers, the effects of crystallization kinetics and crystalline domains on the properties and application have not been comprehensively addressed. This review places focus on different aspects of crystallization of polysaccharides as well as applications of crystalline polysaccharides. Crystallization of cellulose, chitin, chitosan, and starch, as the main members of this family, were discussed. Then, application of the aforementioned crystalline polysaccharides and nano-polysaccharides as well as their physical and chemical interactions were overviewed. This review attempts to provide a complete picture of crystallization-property relationship in polysaccharides.

Abstract
Ionic conductive hydrogels have been widely applied in sensors, energy storage and soft electronics recently. However, most of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) based ionic hydrogels are mainly fabricated by soaking the hydrogels in high concentration electrolyte solution which can induce the waste of electrolyte and solvent. Herein, we have designed cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and ZnSO4 reinforced PVA based hydrogels through a one-pot simple freezing-thawing method at low ZnSO4 concentration without any soaking process. Furthermore, the hydrogel with 0.4% CNF exhibited stress up to 0.79 MPa (242% strain) and high ionic conductivity of 0.32 S m-1 (0.07 M ZnSO4). Moreover, hydrogel sensor displayed high linear gauge factor 1.70 (0-200% strain), excellent stability, durability and reliability. The integrated hydrogel sensor also showed excellent sensor performance for human motion monitoring. This work provides a new prospect for the design of cellulose reinforced conductive hydrogels via a facile method.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels have aroused ever-increasing interest for their cell/biomaterial delivery ability through minimally invasive procedures. Nevertheless, it is still a challenge to simply fabricate natural biopolymer-based injectable hydrogels possessing satisfactory mechanical properties, bioadhesion, and cell delivery ability. Herein, we describe a facile dual crosslinking (DC) strategy for preparing extracellular matrix (ECM) mimetic hydrogels with desirable comprehensive performance. The chondroitin sulfate (CS)- and gelatin (Gel)-based single crosslinked (SC) hydrogels were first developed via reversible borate ester bonds, and further strengthened through the Michael-addition crosslinking reaction or visible-light initiated photopolymerization with thiol-containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) crosslinkers. The dynamic SC hydrogels showed good injectability, pH-sensitive gel-sol transformation, and self-adhesion ability to various biological tissues such as skin, liver, and intervertebral disc. The mechanically tough DC hydrogels displayed tunable stiffness, and resilience to compression load (up to 90% strain) owing to the effective energy dissipation mechanism. The formed DC hydrogels after subcutaneous injection well integrated with surrounding tissues and exhibited fast self-recovery properties. Moreover, the photoencapsulation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) within the developed DC hydrogels was achieved and has been proved to be biocompatible, highlighting the great potential of the photopolymerized DC hydrogels in cell delivery and three-dimensional (3D) cell culture. This biomimetic, mechanically resilient, adhesive, and cytocompatible injectable DC hydrogel could serve as a promising candidate for tissue engineering.

Abstract
In recent years, conductive hydrogels have generated tremendous attention in biomedicals and bioelectronics fields due to their excellent physiochemical properties. In this study, a physically cross-linked conducting hydrogel has been designed in combination with cellulose nanocrystalline (CNC), polyacrylic acid (PAA) chains, laurel methacrylate, and sodium dodecyl sulfate. The obtained result shows that the hydrogel prepared is ultrastretchable, mechanically robust, transparent, biocompatible, conductive, and self-healing. The mechanical property of the prepared hydrogel is optimized through variation of the CNC content. The optimal hydrogel (CNC-1/PAA) exhibits an impressive mechanics, including high stretchability (∼1800%) and compressibility, good elasticity, and fatigue resistance. Furthermore, the conductivity of the hydrogel enables tensile strain- and pressure-sensing capabilities. The CNC/PAA-based flexible sensors are successfully designed, which shows high sensitivity, fast response (290 ms), and excellent cycle stability as well as the pressure sensing capability. As a result, the designed hydrogel has the ability to sense and detect diverse human motion, including elbow/finger/wrist bending and speaking, which demonstrates that the designed self-healing conductive hydrogels have significant potential for applications in flexible electronics.

Abstract
Ionic conductive hydrogel with multifunctional properties have shown promising application potential in various fields, including electronic skin, wearable devices and sensors. Herein, a highly stretchable (up to 2800% strain), tough, adhesive ionic conductive hydrogel are prepared using cationic nanocellulose (CCNC) to disperse/stabilize graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), forming CCNC-g-C3N4 complexes and in situ radical polymerization process. The ionic interactions between CNCC and g-C3N4 acted as sacrificial bonds enabled highly stretchability of the hydrogel. The hydrogel showed high sensitivity (gauge factor≈5.6, 0-1.6% strain), enabling the detection of human body motion, speech and exhalation. Furthermore, the hydrogel based self-powered device can charge 2.2 μF capacitor up to 15 V from human motion. This multifunctional hydrogel presents potential applications in self-powered wearable electronics.

Abstract
The versatile properties make hydrogels a potential multipurpose material that finds wide applications. However, the preparation of multipurpose hydrogels is very challenging. Here, we report a method based on free radical reaction and composite mechanisms to prepare mechanical and electrical self-healing multifunctional hydrogels. In this study, the introduction of imidazolium salt ionic liquids and glycerol in the hydrogel system endows the gels with good antibacterial, conductive, and adhesive properties and excellent antifreeze properties. The testing results show that the as-prepared hydrogel has stable mechanical and electrical properties even under the extremely cold condition of -50°C after self-healing. Moreover, the active esters formed in the dynamic radical reaction have better reducibility, thus further investing the as-prepared hydrogel with high antioxidant activity. The application results show that these comprehensive properties make such hydrogel system very useful in wound repair and wearable strain sensors.

Abstract
Flexible and wearable hydrogel strain sensors have attracted tremendous attention for applications in human motion and physiological signal monitoring. However, it is still a great challenge to develop a hydrogel strain sensor with certain mechanical properties and tensile deformation capabilities, which can be in conformal contact with the target organ and also have self-healing properties, self-adhesive capability, biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, high strain sensitivity, and stable electrical performance. In this paper, an ionic conductive hydrogel (named PBST) is rationally designed by proportionally mixing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), borax, silk fibroin (SF), and tannic acid (TA). SF can not only be a reinforcement to introduce an energy dissipation mechanism into the dynamically cross-linked hydrogel network to stabilize the non-Newtonian behavior of PVA and borax but it can also act as a cross-linking agent to combine with TA to reduce the dissociation of TA on the hydrogel network, improving the mechanical properties and viscoelasticity of the hydrogel. The combination of SF and TA can improve the self-healing ability of the hydrogel and realize the adjustable viscoelasticity of the hydrogel without sacrificing other properties. The obtained hydrogel has excellent stretchability (strain > 1000%) and shows good conformal contact with human skin. When the hydrogel is damaged by external strain, it can rapidly self-repair (mechanical and electrical properties) without external stimuli. It shows adhesiveness and repeatable adhesiveness to different materials (steel, wood, PTFE, glass, iron, and cotton fabric) and biological tissues (pigskin) and is easy to peel off without residue. The obtained PBST conductive hydrogel also has a wide strain-sensing range (>650%) and reliable stability. The hydrogel adhered to the skin surface can monitor large strain movements such as in finger joints, wrist joints, knee joints, and so on and detect swallowing, smiling, facial bulging and calming, and other micro-deformation behaviors. It can also distinguish physical signals such as light smile, big laugh, fast and slow breathing, and deep and shallow breathing. Therefore, the PBST conductive hydrogel material with multiple synergistic functions has great potential as a flexible wearable strain sensor. The PBST hydrogel has antibacterial properties and good biocompatibility at the same time, which provides a safety guarantee for it as a flexible wearable strain sensor. This work is expected to provide a new way for people to develop ideal wearable strain sensors.
