Abstract
The lack of both digital light processing (DLP) compatible and biocompatible photopolymers, along with inappropriate material properties required for wearable sensor applications, substantially hinders the employment of DLP 3D printing in the fabrication of multifunctional hydrogels. Herein, we discovered and implemented a photoreactive poloxamer derivative, Pluronic F-127 diacrylate, which overcomes these limitations and is optimized to achieve DLP 3D printed micelle-based hydrogels with high structural complexity, resolution, and precision. In addition, the dehydrated hydrogels exhibit a shape-memory effect and are conformally attached to the geometry of the detection point after rehydration, which implies the 4D printing characteristic of the fabrication process and is beneficial for the storage and application of the device. The excellent cytocompatibility and in vivo biocompatibility further strengthen the potential application of the poloxamer micelle-based hydrogels as a platform for multifunctional wearable systems. After processing them with a lithium chloride (LiCl) solution, multifunctional conductive ionic hydrogels with antifreezing and antiswelling properties along with good transparency and water retention are easily prepared. As capacitive flexible sensors, the DLP 3D printed micelle-based hydrogel devices exhibit excellent sensitivity, cycling stability, and durability in detecting multimodal deformations. Moreover, the DLP 3D printed conductive hydrogels are successfully applied as real-time human motion and tactile sensors with satisfactory sensing performances even in a -20 °C low-temperature environment.

Abstract
Nano-micelles offer a promising vehicle for the delivery various therapeutically significant biologicals. Development of convenient and efficient chromatographic methods for the quantitative determination of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in such systems is of immense importance. In this study pluronic-F-127 nano-micelles were prepared and loaded with dimethylcurcumin (DMC) and resveratrol (Res). A simple, convenient and effective HPLC method was developed for the quantitative estimation of DMC and Res in the polymeric nano-micelles through a single injection. A reverse-phase ACE® C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm) was used with a gradient mobile phase system consisting of 1 % MeOH and 0.1 % H3PO4:100 % acetonitrile at 1 mL/min flow rate with UV detection for Res, and fluorescence detector for DMC. The calibration curves generated for both the compounds were found linear with r2 values of 1.000 over a concentration range of 2-25 µg/mL with low limit of detection (LOD) values of 0.37 and 0.16 µg/mL for DMC and Res respectively and limit of quantification (LOQ) values of 1.23 and 0.55 µg/mL for DMC and Res respectively. Similarly, accuracy was found in a range of 98.80 -102.47 % for DMC and 100.58-101.77 % for Res. Furthermore, the within-run precisions (%RSD) were 0.073 - 0.444% for DMC and 0.159 - 0.917% for Res, while between-run precisions (%RSD) were 0.344 - 1.47 for DMC and 0.458 - 1.651 for Res. Moreover, the DMC with Res co-loaded nanomicelles showed higher activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB 231 compared to DMC and Res alone. Overall, this study presented a simple, convenient, precise and accurate method for the quantitative determination of DMC and Res in polymeric nano-micelles which have anticancer potential.•A simple HPLC for the quantitative determination of DMC and Res in nanomicelles having anti-cancer potential.•Non complicate with high degree of recoveries of sample preparation process.•This method can be used to determine a mixture of DMC and Res in pharmaceutical formulation in single injection.
