Antibacterial,Adhesive, and Conductive Hydrogel for Diabetic Wound Healing

Diabetic mellitus is one of the leading causes of chronic wounds and remains a challenging issue to be resolved. Herein, a hydrogel with conformal tissue adhesivity, skin-like conductivity, robust mechanical characteristics, as well as active antibacterial function is developed. In this hydrogel, silver nanoparticles decorated polypyrrole nanotubes (AgPPy) and cobalt ions (Co²⁺) are introduced into an in situ polymerized poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) network (PPCA hydrogel). The PPCA hydrogel provides active antibacterial function through synergic effects from protonated PEI and AgPPy nanotubes, with a tissue-like mechanical property (≈16.8 ± 4.5 kPa) and skin-like electrical conductivity (≈0.048 S m⁻¹). The tensile and shear adhesive strength (≈15.88 and ≈12.76 kPa, respectively) of the PPCA hydrogel is about two- to threefold better than that of fibrin glue. In vitro studies show the PPCA hydrogel is highly effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In vivo results demonstrate that the PPCA hydrogel promotes diabetic wounds with accelerated healing, with notable inflammatory reduction and prominent angiogenesis regeneration. These results suggest the PPCA hydrogel provide a promising approach to promote diabetic wound healing.

Metal Organic Framework Glasses: A New Platform for Electrocatalysis?

Metal organic framework (MOF) glasses are a coordination network of metal nodes and organic ligands as an undercooled frozen-in liquid, and have therefore broadened the potential of MOF materials in the fundamental research and application scenarios. On the road to deploying MOF glasses as electrocatalysts, it remains several basic scientific hurdles although MOF glasses not only inherit the structural merits of MOFs but also endow with active catalytic features including concentrated defects, metal centers and disorder structure etc. The research on the ionic conductivity, catalytic stability and reactivity of MOF glasses has yielded scientific insights towards its electrocatalytic applications. Here, we first comb the history, definition and basic properties of MOF glasses. Then, we identify the main synthetic methods and characterization techniques. Finally, we advance the potentials and challenges of MOF glasses as electrocatalysts in furthering the understanding of these themes.     

Current-voltage characteristics of thin poly(biphenyl-4-ylphthalide) films

The paper considers the features of the charge transport near to the threshold of the transition of polymer films to the high conductive state, induced by a small uniaxial pressure. The problem has not been solved so far, how the energy structure of a wide-band-gap organic dielectric varies near this threshold. The current-voltage characteristics of poly(biphenyl-4-ylphthalide) films at different uniaxial pressures were measured and analyzed. The interpretation of the obtained results is carried out within the framework of the space charge limited conduction model. The estimation of the injection model of transport parameters such as the charge carrier mobility and concentration, trapping state concentration and others are carried out. The analysis of the obtained results allows to make the following preliminary conclusion. Pressure increase promotes formation of a narrow trap band near the quasi-Fermi level resulting from the increase in the injection. This can give rise to a sharp magnification of the charge carrier mobility and even transition to the metallic state.     

Controllable Optical,Electrical, and Morphologic Properties of 3,4‐Ethylenedioxythiophene Based Electrocopolymerization Films

This contribution presents a kind of novel and neutral network films based on EDOT formed by in situ electrocopolymerization (ECP). The ECP films which are neutral and colorless exhibit the conductivity of 0.2–0.5 S · cm⁻¹, W_F of 4.79–5.20 eV, and RMS roughness of 3.51–5.26 nm. The electroluminescent devices where ECP films acted as hole‐transport layer (HTL) exhibit higher brightness, current density, efficiency (20–30% improvement), and stability than that of PEDOT:PSS HTL device. The ECP films also significantly benefit the stability of neighboring organic layer compared to PEDOT:PSS. This kind of new ECP films affords more opportunities to develop organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) with high performances and stability.

     

A correlation of conductivity medium and bioparticle viability on dielectrophoresis-based biomedical applications

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) bioparticle research has progressed from micro to nano levels. It has proven to be a promising and powerful cell manipulation method with an accurate, quick, inexpensive, and label-free technique for therapeutic purposes. DEP, an electrokinetic phenomenon, induces particle movement as a result of polarization effects in a nonuniform electrical field. This review focuses on current research in the biomedical field that demonstrates a practical approach to DEP in terms of cell separation, trapping, discrimination, and enrichment under the influence of the conductive medium in correlation with bioparticle viability. The current review aims to provide readers with an in-depth knowledge of the fundamental theory and principles of the DEP technique, which is influenced by conductive medium and to identify and demonstrate the biomedical application areas. The high conductivity of physiological fluids presents obstacles and opportunities, followed by bioparticle viability in an electric field elaborated in detail. Finally, the drawbacks of DEP-based systems and the outlook for the future are addressed. This article will aid in advancing technology by bridging the gap between bioscience and engineering. We hope the insights presented in this review will improve cell suspension medium and promote DEP-viable bioparticle manipulation for health-care diagnostics and therapeutics.     

Development of 3D-Printed,Biodegradable, Conductive PGSA Composites for Nerve Tissue Regeneration

Nerve conduits are used to reconnect broken nerve bundles and provide protection to facilitate nerve regeneration. However, the low degradation rate and regeneration rate, as well as the requirement for secondary surgery are some of the most criticized drawbacks of existing nerve conduits. With high processing flexibility from the photo-curability, poly (glycerol sebacate) acrylate (PGSA) is a promising material with tunable mechanical properties and biocompatibility for the development of medical devices. Here, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and graphene are embedded in biodegradable PGSA matrix. The polymer composites are then assessed for their electrical conductivity, biodegradability, three-dimensional-printability (3D-printability), and promotion of cell proliferation. Through the four-probe technique, it is shown that the PGSA composites are identified as highly conductive in swollen state. Furthermore, biodegradability is evaluated through enzymatic degradation and facilitated hydrolysis. Cell proliferation and guidance are significantly promoted by three-dimensional-printed microstructures and electrical stimulation on PGSA composites, especially on PGSA-PVP. Hence, microstructured nerve conduits are 3D-printed with PGSA-PVP. Guided cell growth and promoted proliferation are subsequently demonstrated by Schwann cell culture combined with electrical stimulation. Consequently, 3D-printed nerve conduits fabricated with PGSA composites hold great potential in nerve tissue regeneration through electrical stimulation.
