Abstract
Biomolecular condensates, formed through phase separation, are upending our understanding in much of molecular, cell, and developmental biology. There is an urgent need to elucidate the physicochemical foundations of the behaviors and properties of biomolecular condensates. Here we aim to fill this need by writing a comprehensive, critical, and accessible review on the fundamental aspects of phase-separated biomolecular condensates. We introduce the relevant theoretical background, present the theoretical basis for the computation and experimental measurement of condensate properties, and give mechanistic interpretations of condensate behaviors and properties in terms of interactions at the molecular and residue levels.

Changes in structure and rheology of a shear-thickening polysaccharide from Cyathea medullaris as a function of age. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 329:121757.

Abstract
A shear-thickening polysaccharide from the New Zealand Black tree fern (Cyathea medullaris, commonly known as mamaku) extracted from different age fronds (stage 1: young, stage 2: fully grown and stage 3: old) was characterised in terms of structure and rheological properties. Constituent sugar analysis and 1H and 13C NMR revealed a repeating backbone of -4)-β-D-GlcpA-(1 → 2)-α-D-Manp-(1→, for all mamaku polysaccharide (MP) samples from different age fronds without any alterations in molecular structure. However, the molecular weight (Mw) was reduced with increasing age, from ~4.1 × 106 to ~2.1 × 106 Da from stage 1 to stage 3, respectively. This decrease in Mw (and size) consequently reduced the shear viscosity (ηs-Stage 1 > ηs-Stage 2 > ηs-Stage 3). However, the extent of shear-thickening and uniaxial extensional viscosity of MP stage 2 was greater than MP stage 1, which was attributed to a greater intermolecular interaction occurring in the former. Shear-thickening behaviour was not observed in MP stage 3.

Abstract
In recent years, DNA has emerged as a fascinating building material to engineer hydrogel due to its excellent programmability, which has gained considerable attention in biomedical applications. Understanding the structure-property relationship and underlying molecular determinants of DNA hydrogel is essential to precisely tailor its macroscopic properties at molecular level. In this review, the rational design principles of DNA molecular networks based on molecular dynamics of polymers on the temporal scale, which can be engineered via the backbone rigidity and crosslinking kinetics, are highlighted. By elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms and theories, it is aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of how the tunable DNA backbone rigidity and the crosslinking kinetics lead to desirable macroscopic properties of DNA hydrogels, including mechanical properties, diffusive permeability, swelling behaviors, and dynamic features. Furthermore, it is also discussed how the tunable macroscopic properties make DNA hydrogels promising candidates for biomedical applications, such as cell culture, tissue engineering, bio-sensing, and drug delivery.

Abstract
In this work, two imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with different cations including dications (DIL) and monocations (MIL) were blended with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The influence of ILs' structure on the structural and dynamic properties of a PEO/IL system was investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory (DFT) methods. The simulation results show that DIL exhibits weaker interaction with PEO than MIL due to a stronger IL aggregation effect. The intermolecular interaction also makes the PEO chain tend to organize around the imidazolium ring of ILs, which causes the conformational entropy loss. Compared with PEO/MIL, this phenomenon is more significant in PEO/DIL because of the double positive centers of the dication and a longer hydrogen bond lifetime. MD simulation also demonstrates that DIL could act as a "crosslinker" to promote the formation of a physical crosslinking network which has strong dependence on the concentration of IL. The competition between physical crosslinking and plasticizing effects induces non-monotonic variations of relaxation time in PEO/DIL, which is consistent with its unusual change of the glass transition temperature (Tg). Despite stronger hydrogen bonding interactions between PEO and MIL demonstrated by atom-in-molecules (AIM) and reduced density gradient (RDG) analysis, the segmental mobility is slower in PEO/DIL according to the MSD curve. These differences in multiple structural or energetic factors finally lead to different conductive mechanisms and hence obtain different ionic conductivities.

Abstract
Injectable poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogels were reversibly cross-linked through thia-conjugate addition bonds and demonstrated to shear thicken at low shear rates. Cross-linking bond exchange kinetics and dilute polymer concentrations were leveraged to tune hydrogel plateau moduli (from 60 to 650 Pa) and relaxation times (from 2 to 8 s). Under continuous flow shear rheometry, these properties affected the onset of shear thickening and the degree of shear thickening achieved before a flow instability occurred. The changes in viscosity were reversible whether the shear rate increased or decreased, suggesting that chain stretching drives this behavior. Given the relevance of dynamic PEG hydrogels under shear to biomedical applications, their injectability was investigated. Injection forces were found to increase with higher polymer concentrations and slower bond exchange kinetics. Altogether, these results characterize the nonlinear rheology of dilute, dynamic covalent tetra-PEG hydrogels and offer insight into the mechanism driving their shear thickening behavior.

Abstract
In this paper, we review the physicochemical phenomena occurring during the structuring processes in the manufacturing of plant-based meat analogs via high-moisture-extrusion (HME). After the initial discussion on the input materials, we discuss the hypotheses behind the physics of the functional tasks that can be defined for HME. For these hypotheses, we have taken a broader view than only the scientific literature on plant-based meat analogs but incorporated also literature from soft matter physics and patent literature. Many of these hypotheses remain to be proven. Hence, we hope that this overview will inspire researchers to fill the still-open knowledge gaps concerning the multiscale structure of meat analogs.

Abstract
Neural tissue damaged after central nervous system (CNS) injury does not naturally regenerate but is instead replaced by non-neural fibrotic scar tissue that serves no neurological function. Scar-free repair to create a more permissive environment for regeneration requires altering the natural injury responses of glial cells. In this work, glycopolymer-based supramolecular hydrogels are synthesized to direct adaptive glia repair after CNS injury. Combining poly(trehalose-co-guanosine) (pTreGuo) glycopolymers with free guanosine (fGuo) generates shear-thinning hydrogels through stabilized formation of long-range G-quadruplex secondary structures. Hydrogels with smooth or granular microstructures and mechanical properties spanning three orders of magnitude are produced through facile control of pTreGuo hydrogel composition. Injection of pTreGuo hydrogels into healthy mouse brains elicits minimal stromal cell infiltration and peripherally derived inflammation that is comparable to a bioinert methyl cellulose benchmarking material. pTreGuo hydrogels alter astrocyte borders and recruit microglia to infiltrate and resorb the hydrogel bulk over 7 d. Injections of pTreGuo hydrogels into ischemic stroke alter the natural responses of glial cells after injury to reduce the size of lesions and increase axon regrowth into lesion core environments. These results support the use of pTreGuo hydrogels as part of neural regeneration strategies to activate endogenous glia repair mechanisms.

Abstract
Achieving strong adhesion between hydrogels and diverse materials is greatly significant for emerging technologies yet remains challenging. Existing methods using non-covalent bonds have limited pH and ion stability, while those using covalent bonds typically lack on-demand detachment capability, limiting their applications. In this study, a general strategy of covalent bond-based and detachable adhesion by incorporating amine-rich proteins in various hydrogels and inducing the interfacial crosslinking of the hydrogels using a protein-crosslinking agent is demonstrated. The protein crosslink offers topological adhesion and can reach a strong adhesion energy of ≈750 J m-2 . The chemistry of the adhesion is characterized and that the inclusion of proteins inside the hydrogels does not alter the hydrogels' properties is shown. The adhesion remains intact after treating the adhered hydrogels with various pH solutions and ions, even at an elevated temperature. The detachment is triggered by treating proteinase solution at the bonding front, causing the digestion of proteins, thus breaking up the interfacial crosslink network. In addition, that this approach can be used to adhere hydrogels to diverse dry surfaces, including glass, elastomers and plastics, is shown. The stable chemistry of protein crosslinks opens the door for various applications in a wide range of chemical environments.

Abstract
The vibration attenuation mechanism of shear thickening fluid- (STF-) filled sandwich structures was investigated in this study. Structural equivalent damping, stiffness, and mass increased simultaneously with the increase in the volume fraction of shear thickening fluid. However, the damping ratio decreased and natural frequency increased with the increase in structural mass. Thus, the damping ratio was not a monotonically increasing function of the volume fraction of STF. A modified shear strain model of the damping layer was developed based on the following conditions: (1) under the condition of small strain, shear thickening fluid was regarded as linear viscoelastic material, and (2) the warpage of the sandwich beam was considered during deformation and the influence of STF on the shear strain of sandwich beam. According to the modified shear strain model of the damping layer, the shear thickening occurred at 1 Hz to 20 Hz during vibration. Therefore, the resonance point of the structure shifted to the left. The predictions were in excellent agreement with the experimental results. The results demonstrated that shear thickening fluid improved the vibration damping performance of the sandwich structure, while the thickening ability was not the higher, the better.

Abstract
![]()
Injectable, self-healing hydrogels with enhanced solubilization
of hydrophobic drugs are urgently needed for antimicrobial intravaginal
therapies. Here, we report the first hydrogel systems constructed
of dynamic boronic esters cross-linking unimolecular micelles, which
are a reservoir of antifungal hydrophobic drug molecules. The selective
hydrophobization of hyperbranched polyglycidol with phenyl units in
the core via ester or urethane bonds enabled the solubilization of
clotrimazole, a water-insoluble drug of broad antifungal properties.
The encapsulation efficiency of clotrimazole increases with the degree
of the HbPGL core modification; however, the encapsulation is more
favorable in the case of urethane derivatives. In addition, the rate
of clotrimazole release was lower from HbPGL hydrophobized via urethane
bonds than with ester linkages. In this work, we also revealed that
the hydrophobization degree of HbPGL significantly influences the
rheological properties of its hydrogels with poly(acrylamide-ran-2-acrylamidephenylboronic acid). The elastic strength
of networks (GN) and the thermal stability
of hydrogels increased along with the degree of HbPGL core hydrophobization.
The degradation of the hydrogel constructed of the neat HbPGL was
observed at approx. 40 °C, whereas the hydrogels constructed
on HbPGL, where the monohydroxyl units were modified above 30 mol
%, were stable above 50 °C. Moreover, the flow and self-healing
ability of hydrogels were gradually decreased due to the reduced dynamics
of macromolecules in the network as an effect of increased hydrophobicity.
The changes in the rheological properties of hydrogels resulted from
the engagement of phenyl units into the intermolecular hydrophobic
interactions, which besides boronic esters constituted additional
cross-links. This study demonstrates that the HbPGL core hydrophobized
with phenyl units at 30 mol % degrees via urethane linkages is optimal
in respect of the drug encapsulation efficiency and rheological properties
including both self-healable and injectable behavior. This work is
important because of a proper selection of a building component for
the construction of a therapeutic hydrogel platform dedicated to the
intravaginal delivery of hydrophobic drugs.

Abstract
Spraying serves as an attractive, minimally invasive means of administering hydrogels for localized delivery, particularly due to high-throughput deposition of therapeutic depots over an entire target site of uneven surfaces. However, it remains a great challenge to design systems capable of rapid gelation after shear-thinning during spraying and adhering to coated tissues in wet, physiological environments. We report here on the use of a collagen-binding peptide to enable a supramolecular design of a biocompatible, bioadhesive, and sprayable hydrogel for sustained release of therapeutics. After spraying, the designed peptide amphiphile-based supramolecular filaments exhibit fast, physical cross-linking under physiological conditions. Our ex vivo studies suggest that the hydrogelator strongly adheres to the wet surfaces of multiple organs, and the extent of binding to collagen influences release kinetics from the gel. We envision that the sprayable organ-adhesive hydrogel can serve to enhance the efficacy of incorporated therapeutics for many biomedical applications.

Abstract
In nature, bone adapts to mechanical forces it experiences, strengthening itself to match the conditions placed upon it. Here we report a composite material that adapts to the mechanical environment it experiences-varying its modulus as a function of force, time and the frequency of mechanical agitation. Adaptation in the material is managed by mechanically responsive ZnO, which controls a crosslinking reaction between a thiol and an alkene within a polymer composite gel, resulting in a mechanically driven ×66 increase in modulus. As the amount of chemical energy is a function of the mechanical energy input, the material senses and adapts its modulus along the distribution of stress, resembling the bone remodelling behaviour that materials can adapt accordingly to the loading location. Such material design might find use in a wide range of applications, from adhesives to materials that interface with biological systems.

Abstract
Supramolecular binding motifs are increasingly employed in the design of biomaterials. The ability to rationally engineer specific yet reversible associations into polymer networks with supramolecular chemistry enables injectable or sprayable hydrogels that can be applied via minimally invasive administration. In this review, we highlight two main areas where supramolecular binding motifs are being used in the design of drug delivery systems: engineering network mechanics and tailoring drug-material affinity. Throughout, we highlight many of the established and emerging chemistries or binding motifs that are useful for the design of supramolecular hydrogels for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
The application of complex coacervates in promising areas such as coatings and surgical glues requires a tight control of their viscous and elastic behaviour, and a keen understanding of the corresponding microscopic mechanisms. While the viscous, or dissipative, aspect is crucial at pre-setting times and in preventing detachment, elasticity at long waiting times and low strain rates is crucial to sustain a load-bearing joints. The independent tailoring of dissipative and elastic properties proves to be a major challenge that can not be addressed adequately by the complex coacervate motif by itself. We propose a versatile model of complex coacervates with customizable rheological fates by functionalization of polyelectrolytes with terpyridines, which provide transient crosslinks through complexation with metals. We show that the rheology of the hybrid complexes shows distinct footprints of both metal-ligand and coacervate dynamics, the former as a contribution very close to pure Maxwell viscoelasticity, the latter approaching a sticky Rouse fluid. Strikingly, when the contribution of metal-ligand bonds is dominant at long times, the relaxation of the overall complex is much slower than either the "native" coacervate relaxation time or the dissociation time of a comparable non-coacervate polyelectrolyte-metal-ligand complex. We recognize this slowing-down of transient bonds as a synergistic effect that has important implications for the use of complementary transient bonding in coacervate complexes.

Abstract
Materials that are able to withstand impact loadings by dissipating energy are crucial for a broad range of different applications, including personal protective applications. Shear-thickening fluids (STFs) are often used for this purpose, but their preparation is still limited, in part, to high production costs. It is demonstrated that polymeric surfactants comprised of linear telechelic sugar-modified silicones-with neither additives nor particles-generate transient polymer networks (TPNs) that represent a promising alternative to STFs. The reported polymers have distinct viscoelastic properties and can turn from a liquid into a rubbery network when force is applied. Saccharide-modified silicones with short chains (degree of polymerization (DP) ≈ 34, 68) are solids, but become energy-absorbing viscoelastic fluids when diluted in low-viscosity silicone oils; longer silicones (DP ≈ 338, 675) with low saccharide contents are viscoelastic fluids at room temperature. Excellent damping properties are found for the reported silicone surfactants, even those containing only 0.1% saccharides. The degree of energy absorption can be tailored simply by controlling the sugar/silicone ratio.

Abstract
Achieving efficient and biocompatible detachment between adhered wet materials (i.e., tissues and hydrogels) is a major challenge. Recently, photodetachable topological adhesion has shown great promise as a strategy for conquering this hurdle. However, this photodetachment was triggered by UV light with poor biocompatibility and penetration capacity. This study describes near-infrared (NIR) light-detached topological adhesion based on polyacrylic acid coated upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP@PAA) and a photodetachable adhesive (termed Cell-Fe). Cell-Fe is a coordinated topological adhesive consisting of carboxymethylcellulose and Fe3+ that can be photodecomposed by UV light. To prepare a substrate for NIR-detached topological adhesion, UCNP@PAA and Cell-Fe were mixed and brushed on the surface of the model adherent. The UCNP@PAA can harvest NIR light and convert it into UV light, triggering the decomposition of the Cell-Fe and inducing the detachment. This NIR-detached topological adhesion is also feasible in deep tissue because of the ability of NIR light to penetrate tissue.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers based on host-guest molecular recognition have emerged as promising platforms for the development of smart materials. However, the studies on them are primarily conducted in solution and/or in the gel state. In contrast, little is known about dynamic properties and applications of supramolecular polymers in bulk. Herein, we present a self-cross-linking supramolecular polymer network (SPN) as a model system to understand the bulk properties controlled by noncovalent interactions. Specifically, the SPN monomer is composed of two benzo-21-crown-7 (B21C7) host units and two dialkylammonium salt guest moieties on a four-arm core, wherein complementary host-guest complexation drives the formation of the SPN with [2]pseudorotaxane linkages between B21C7 and ammonium motifs. The dynamic and reversible behaviors of the linkages are evaluated by measurement of viscoelasticity. The results indicate that the host-guest molecular recognition becomes highly dynamic at elevated temperature. Moreover, the relatively high activation energy of the SPN manifests itself as a new type of thermoplastic material with network topology freezing glass transition. Finally, we demonstrate how these findings provide insights into the malleability and processability of the SPN by simple demos. The fundamental understanding gained from the research on this SPN in bulk will facilitate the advancement and application of supramolecular materials.

Abstract
Tough adhesion between wet materials (i.e., synthetic hydrogels and biological tissues) is undergoing intense development, but methods reported so far either require functional groups from the wet materials, involve toxic chemicals, or result in unstable adhesion. Here, we present a method to achieve biocompatible, covalent adhesion, without requiring any functional groups from the wet materials. We use two hydrogels as model adherends that have covalent polymer networks, but have no functional groups for adhesion. We use an aqueous solution of biopolymers and bioconjugate agents as a model adhesive. When the solution is spread at the interface of the hydrogels, the biopolymers diffuse into both hydrogels and cross-link into a covalent network in situ, in topological entanglement with the two polymer networks of the hydrogels. We characterize the chemistry and mechanics of the covalent topological adhesion. In a physiological fluid, the covalent topological adhesion is stable, but a noncovalent topological adhesion separates. Covalent topological adhesion presents immediate opportunities to advance the art of adhesion in diverse and complex environments.

Abstract
Our previous work has demonstrated that soluble polyimide with relatively weak interaction can be transformed from neutral polymer to associative polymer by increasing molecular weight. Thus, it is necessary to find another way to vary the relatively weak interaction strength, i.e. variation of solvent quality. Herein, viscoelastic behaviors are examined for 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxy-phenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA)-2,2′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4′-diam (TFDB) polyimide (PI), with a relatively low molecular weight (Mw) of 88 000 g mol−1, dissolved in cyclohexanone (CYC). The scaling relationship between viscosity (η0–ηs) and volume fraction is in good agreement with the associative polymer theory proposed by Rubinstein and Semenov. Oscillatory rheological results indicate that the PI solution tends to become a gel with increased volume fraction. The synchrotron radiation small-angle X-ray scattering results imply the existence of dense aggregates in the concentrated PI/CYC solutions. Shear thickening and thinning behaviors are observed in the solutions, and the shear thickening behavior of polyimide solution has not been reported in literature. Their mechanisms are studied by conducting dynamic and steady rheological experiments. Thus, enhancing the relatively weak interaction strength can also make the low Mw polyimide show associative polymer behavior. This work can help us to gain deep insight into polyimide solution properties from dilute to semidilute entangled solutions, and will guide the preparation of polyimide solutions for different processing. Enhancing the relatively weak interaction strength through varying the solvent quality can transform PI from a neutral polymer to an associative polymer.![]()

Abstract
Polymeric chains crosslinked through supramolecular interactions-directional and reversible non-covalent interactions-compose an emerging class of modular and tunable biomaterials. The choice of chemical moiety utilized in the crosslink affords different thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of association, which in turn illustrate the connectivity and dynamics of the system. These parameters, coupled with the choice of polymeric architecture, can then be engineered to control environmental responsiveness, viscoelasticity, and cargo diffusion profiles, yielding advanced biomaterials which demonstrate rapid shear-thinning, self-healing, and extended release. In this review we examine the relationship between supramolecular crosslink chemistry and biomedically relevant macroscopic properties. We then describe how these properties are currently leveraged in the development of materials for drug delivery, immunology, regenerative medicine, and 3D-bioprinting (253 references).

Abstract
Transient polymer networks are ubiquitous in natural and engineered materials and contain cross-links that can reversibly break and re-form. The dynamic nature of these bonds allows for interesting mechanical behavior, some of which include nonlinear rheological phenomena such as shear thickening and shear thinning. Specifically, physically cross-linked networks with reversible bonds are typically observed to have viscosities that depend nonlinearly on shear rate and can be characterized by three flow regimes. In slow shear, they behave like Newtonian fluids with a constant viscosity. With further increase in shear rate, the viscosity increases nonlinearly to subsequently reach a maximum value at the critical shear rate. At this point, network fracture occurs followed by a reduction in viscosity (shear-thinning) with a further increase in shear rate. The underlying mechanism of shear thickening in this process is still unclear with debates between a conversion of intra-chain to inter-chain cross-linking and nonlinear chain stretch under high tension. In this paper, we provide a new framework to describe the nonlinear rheology of transient polymer networks with the so-called chain distribution tensor using recent advances from the transient network theory. This tensor contains quantitatively and statistical information of the chain alignment and possible anisotropy that affect network behavior and mechanics. We investigate shear thickening as a primary result of non-Gaussian chain behavior and derive a relationship for the nonlinear viscosity in terms of the non-dimensional Weissenberg number. We further address the criterion for network fracture at the critical shear rate by introducing a critical chain force when bond dissociation is suddenly accelerated. Finally, we discuss the role of cross-linker density on viscosity using a "sticky" reptation mechanism in the context of previous studies on metallo-supramolecular networks with reversible cross-linkers.

Moreover, the resulting matrices can exhibit interesting features caused by the dynamic assembly process, such as self-healing and molecular ordering. In this paper, we present a physical hydrogel system formed by mixing peptide-polyethylene glycol and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate. This combinatorial approach, which uses different modular building blocks, could lead to high tunability on aspects of rheology and electrical impedance. The proposed physical hydrogel system is characterized by both a self-healing ability and injectability. Interestingly, the formation of hydrogels at relatively low concentrations led to a network of closer molecular packing of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanoparticles, reflected by the enhanced conductivity. The biopolymer system can be used to develop three-dimensional cell cultures with incorporated electric stimuli, as evidenced by its contribution to the survival and proliferation of encapsulated mesenchymal stromal cells and their differentiation upon electrical stimulation.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymer networks have been designed on the basis of a π-electron donor/acceptor complex: naphthalene (N)/cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT4+ = B). For this purpose, a copolymer of N,N-dimethylacrylamide P(DMA-N1), lightly decorated with 1 mol% of naphthalene pendant groups, has been studied in semi-dilute un-entangled solution in the presence of di-CBPQT4+ (BB) crosslinker type molecules. While calorimetric experiments demonstrate the quantitative binding between N and B groups up to 60 °C, the introduction of BB crosslinkers into the polymer solution gives rise to gel formation above the overlap concentration. From a comprehensive investigation of viscoelastic properties, performed at different concentrations, host/guest stoichiometric ratios and temperatures, the supramolecular hydrogels are shown to follow a Maxwellian behavior with a strong correlation of the plateau modulus and the relaxation time with the effective amount of interchain cross-linkers and their dissociation dynamics, respectively. The calculation of the dissociation rate constant of the supramolecular complex, by extrapolation of the relaxation time of the network back to the beginning of the gel regime, is discussed in the framework of theoretical and experimental works on associating polymers.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry has emerged as an important technique for the formation of biomaterials, including nano- and microparticles and hydrogels. One specific class of supramolecular chemistry is the direct association of guest-host pairs, which involves host macrocycles such as cyclodextrins and cucurbit[n]urils and a wide range of guest molecules, where association is typically driven by molecule size and hydrophobicity. These systems are of particular interest in the biomedical field due to their dynamic nature, chemical diversity, relative ease of synthesis, and ability to interact with biological or synthetic molecules. In this review, we discuss aspects of polymeric material assembly mediated by guest-host interactions, including the fundamentals of assembly into functional biomedical materials. Additionally, applications of biomaterials that utilize guest-host interactions are discussed with a focus on injectable material formulations, the sequestration and delivery of encapsulated cargo (i.e., drugs, biomolecules), and the investigation of cell-material interactions (i.e., adhesion, differentiation, and delivery). While methodologies for guest-host mediated assembly and biological interaction have rapidly evolved in recent years, they remain far from realizing their full potential in the biomaterials field.
