Abstract
Simultaneous realization of high strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance in natural starch-based hydrogel materials is challenging. A facile method of in situ self-assembly and a freeze-thaw cycle was proposed to construct double-network nanocomposite hydrogels of debranched corn starch/polyvinyl alcohol (Gels). Rheology, chemical structure, microstructure, and mechanical property of Gels were investigated. Notably, short linear starch chains were self-assembled into nanoparticles and subsequently into 3D microaggregates, which were tightly wrapped by starch and PVA network. Compared with corn starch single-network and starch/PVA double-network hydrogels, the Gels reached up to a higher compressive strength (ca. 1095.7 kPa), and then achieved to ∼20-30-fold improvement in compressive strength. Recovery efficiency exceeded 85% after 20 successive compression loading-unloading cycle tests. Furthermore, the Gels had good biocompatibility to L929 cells. Hence, the high-performance starch hydrogels are thought to serve as a biodegradable and biocompatible material to replace synthetic hydrogels, which can broaden their application fields.

Abstract
Ultrathin fibers can increase the contact area between adsorbents and seawater during the uranium extraction process; however, their construction usually aggravates the complex spinning technology and lowers their mechanical strength. Meanwhile, high strength and antifouling ability are essential for ocean adsorbents to withstand the complex natural environment and microbial systems. Herein, we design high-strength and anti-biofouling poly(amidoxime) nanofiber membranes (HA-PAO NFMs) via a supramolecular crosslinking. Bacterial cellulose supplies the NFMs with ultrathin fiber structure, and large amounts of adsorption ligands are immobilized on the framework via the crosslinking with antibacterial ions. Thus, different from other fibers, HA-PAO NFMs achieve ultrathin diameter (20-30 nm), high BET area (51 m2 g-1), and excellent mechanical strength (13.6 MPa). The uranium adsorption capacity reaches to 409 mg-U/g-Ads in the simulated seawater, 99.2% uranium can be removed from the U-contained wastewater, and the adsorption process can be observed by the naked eye due to the significant color changes. The inhibition zones indicate their excellent anti-biofouling ability, which contributes to 1.83 times more uranium extraction amount from natural seawater than the non-antifouling adsorbents. Furthermore, they display a long service life and can be large-scale prepared, and the HA-PAO NFMs have potential in the massive uranium recovery.

Abstract
Developing sustainable, renewable, hydrophobic, and biodegradable packaging material to replace petroleum-based plastic products remains a challenge. Herein, original cellulose/myristic acid composite films were fabricated by solvent-vaporized controllable crystallization of natural myristic acid on anisotropic cellulose films. The myristic acid crystals that evenly distributed on the surface of cellulose film generated micronano binary structure and the interstitial space between microplates, resulting in high hydrophobicity (water contact angle = 132°) and excellent self-cleaning property of the composite film. The resultant film exhibited good tensile strength and toughness under both dry (188.7 MPa, 34.4 MJ m-3) and humid conditions (119.9 MPa, 28.7 MJ m-3). Moreover, these composite films could be degraded completely after approximately 102 days in soil with an average environment temperature of 32 °C. This work provided a low-cost and sustainable pathway for the fabrication of high-strength, self-cleaning, and waterproof packaging materials instead of plastics.

Abstract
Swelling is ubiquitous for traditional as-prepared hydrogels, but is unfavorable in many situations, especially biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, internal wound closure, soft actuating and bioelectronics, and so forth. As the swelling of a hydrogel usually leads to a volume expansion, which not only deteriorates the mechanical property of the hydrogel but can bring about undesirable oppression on the surrounding tissues when applied in vivo. In contrast, anti-swelling hydrogels hardly alter their volume when applied in aqueous environment, therefore reserving the original mechanical performance and size-stability and facilitating their potential application. In the past decade, with the development of advanced hydrogels, quite a number of anti-swelling hydrogels with versatile functions have been developed by researchers to meet the practical applications well, through integrating anti-swelling property with certain performance or functionality, such as high strength, self-healing, injectability, adhesiveness, antiseptics, etc. However, there has not been a general summary with regard to these hydrogels. To promote the construction of anti-swelling hydrogels with desirable functionalities in the future, this review generalizes and analyzes the tactics employed so far in the design and manufacture of anti-swelling hydrogels, starting from the viewpoint of classical swelling theories. The review will provide a relatively comprehensive understanding of anti-swelling hydrogels and clues to researchers interested in this kind of materials to develop more advanced ones suitable for practical application.

Abstract
Carrageenan fibers have attractive applications in textile, but their low strength remains a problem that needs to be urgently addressed. In this work, a novel facile, environmental friendly method for fabricate high-strength carrageenan fibers is proposed. It involves the crosslinking of a small amount of Ba2+ ions in the carrageenan solution, followed by using recyclable alcohol in coagulation and stretching baths. Carrageenan molecular chains were allowed to first sufficiently interact with metal barium ions, and then were stretched and dehydrated with alcohol to increase the hydrogen bonding interaction between the molecular chains. As a result, the carrageenan fibers with high-strength ionic and hydrogen bonds were obtained. The fibers obtained by the novel method had high tensile strength at 1.63 cN/dtex, which is two times higher than that of those obtained by the traditional process.

Abstract
Composite aerogels with excellent mechanical properties were prepared by using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as raw materials, 2D graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets as reinforcement, boric acid (BA) as cross-linker. By controlling the heat transfer rate, composite aerogels with isotropy and anisotropy structure were prepared, the mechanical and heat insulation properties were studied. The isotropy composite aerogel had compression strength of 110 kPa at 60% compression, which was 5 times of the axial and 14 times of the radial of anisotropy structure composite aerogels, and thermal conductivity was also lower than those of two directions of anisotropy composite aerogel. Besides, the mechanical properties of isotropy composite aerogels increased with the increase of GO content. When GO content was up to 5 wt%, the compressive strength and Young's modulus of composite aerogels reached 349 kPa and 1029 kPa, which were 1.6 and 4.5 times that of CMC aerogels, respectively.

Abstract
Based on the formation of cellulose hydrogels in NaOH/urea aqueous solvent media, cellulose self-assembly precursor is acquired. It is proved that the water uptake capability of the cellulose hydrogels depends highly on the cross-link degree (CLD) of cellulose. With varying CLD and concentration of cellulose, a variety of morphologies of cellulose self-assemblies, including sheets with perfect morphology, high-aspect-ratio fibers, and disorganized segments and network, are formed through evaporation. Furthermore, cellulose films are fabricated by diecasting and evaporating the cellulose hydrogels, resulting in a 3D-ordered structure of closely stacking of cellulose sheets. The mechanical test indicates both tensile strength and flexibility of the cellulose films are greatly improved, which is attributed to the formation of the orderly stacking of cellulose sheets. The study is expected to lay an important foundation on the preparation of ordered and high-strength cellulose materials.
