Abstract
This paper reviews the recent progress of small angle scattering (SAS) techniques, mainly including X-ray small angle scattering technique (SAXS) and neutron small angle scattering (SANS) technique, in the study of metal-organic framework (MOF) colloidal materials (CMOFs). First, we introduce the application research of SAXS technique in pristine MOFs materials, and review the studies on synthesis mechanism of MOF materials, the pore structures and fractal characteristics, as well as the spatial distribution and morphological evolution of foreign molecules in MOF composites and MOF-derived materials. Then, the applications of SANS technique in MOFs are summarized, with emphasis on SANS data processing method, structure modeling and quantitative structural information extraction. Finally, the characteristics and developments of SAS techniques are commented and prospected. It can be found that most studies on MOF materials with SAS techniques focus mainly on nanoporous structure characterization and the evolution of pore structures, or the spatial distribution of other foreign molecules loaded in MOFs. Indeed, SAS techniques take an irreplaceable role in revealing the structure and evolution of nanopores in CMOFs. We expect that this paper will help to understand the research status of SAS techniques on MOF materials and better to apply SAS techniques to conduct further research on MOF and related materials.

Abstract
The regulation of physiochemical behaviors by changing molecular weights is an important cornerstone of polymer physics. However, similar correlations between molecular weights and properties have not been discovered in inorganic ionic compounds. In this work, we prepared a calcium carbonate specimen with a semiflexible chain topology analogous to those of polymers. The molecular weights of the calcium carbonate chains, which ranged from 3400 to 54 100 Da, were directly correlated to their physiochemical behaviors, including gel point, zero shear viscosity, and plateau modulus. The calcium carbonate chains showed similar polymeric characteristics, including shear thinning, thixotropy, entropic elasticity, and viscoelasticity. These features agreed with recent theories and formulas in polymer physics textbooks. On the basis of this understanding, the mechanical properties of calcium carbonate-based gels could be altered by changing their molecular weights. This study could represent a fusion of inorganic chemistry and polymer physics with similar molecular weight-dependent behaviors and material properties, establishing an alternative pathway for designing future inorganic materials.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the fundamental acellular element of human tissues, providing their mechanical structure while delivering biomechanical and biochemical signals to cells. Three-dimensional (3D) tissue models commonly use hydrogels to recreate the ECM in vitro and support the growth of cells as organoids and spheroids. Collagen-nanocellulose (COL-NC) hydrogels rely on the blending of both polymers to design matrices with tailorable physical properties. Despite the promising application of these biomaterials in 3D tissue models, the architecture and network organization of COL-NC remain unclear. Here, we investigate the structural effects of incorporating NC fibers into COL hydrogels by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and ultra-SANS (USANS). The critical hierarchical structure parameters of fiber dimensions, interfiber distance, and coassembled open structures of NC and COL in the absence and presence of cells were determined. We found that NC expanded and increased the homogeneity in the COL network without affecting the inherent fiber properties of both polymers. Cells cultured as spheroids in COL-NC remodeled the hydrogel network without a significant impact on its architecture. Our study reveals the polymer organization of COL-NC hydrogels and demonstrates SANS and USANS as exceptional techniques to reveal nano- and micron-scale details on polymer organization, which leads to a better understanding of the structural properties of hydrogels to engineer novel ECMs.

Abstract
The development of technologies that could ease the production of customizable patient-specific tissue engineering constructs having required biomechanical properties and restoring function in damaged tissue is the need of the hour. In this study, we report the optimization of composite, bioactive and biocompatible tripolymeric hydrogel bioink, suitable for both direct and indirect printing of customizable scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering applications. A customized hierarchical meniscal scaffold was designed using solid works software and developed using a negative mould made of polylactic acid (PLA) filament and by a direct 3D printing process. A composite tripolymeric bioink made of gelatin, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and alginate was optimized and characterized for its printability, structural, bio-mechanical and bio-functional properties. The optimized composite hydrogel bioink was extruded into the negative mould with and without live cells, cross-linked and the replica of meniscus structure was retrieved aseptically. The cellular proliferation, apatite formation, and extracellular matrix secretion from negative printed meniscal scaffold were determined using MTT, live/dead and collagen estimation assays. A significant increase in collagen secretion, cellular proliferation and changes in biomechanical properties was observed in the 3D scaffolds with MG63-osteosarcoma cells indicating its suitability for cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract
Recent experimental and theoretical work has shown that sticker clustering can be used to enhance properties such as toughness and creep resistance of polymer networks. While it is clear that the changes in properties are related to a change in network topology, the mechanistic relationship is still not well understood. In this work, the effect of sticker clustering was investigated by comparing the dynamics of random copolymers with those where the stickers are clustered at the ends of the chain in the unentangled regime using both linear mechanics and diffusion measurements. Copolymers of N,N-dimethyl acrylamide (DMA) and pendant histidine groups were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The clustered polymers were synthesized using a bifunctional RAFT agent, such that the midblock consisted of PDMA and the two end blocks were random copolymers of DMA and the histidine-functionalized monomer. Upon addition of Ni ions, transient metal-coordinate crosslinks are formed as histidine-Ni complexes. Combined studies of rheology, neutron scattering and self-diffusion measurements using forced Rayleigh scattering revealed changes to the network topology and stress relaxation modes. The network topology is proposed to consist of aggregates of the histidine-Ni complexes bridged by the non-associative midblock. Therefore, stress relaxation requires the cooperative dissociation of multiple bonds, resulting in increased relaxation times. The increased relaxation times, however, were accompanied by faster diffusion. This is attributed to the presence of defects such as elastically inactive chain loops. This study demonstrates that the effects of cooperative sticker dissociation can be observed even in the presence of a significant fraction of loop defects which are known to alter the nonlinear properties of conventional telechelic polymers.

Abstract
We suggest gelatin hydrogel as an electrolyte and demonstrate organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) based on a sheet of gelatin. We also modulate electrical characteristics of the OECT with respect to pH condition of the gelatin hydrogel from acid to base and analyze its characteristics based on the electrochemical theory. Moreover, we extend the gelatin-based OECT to electrochemical logic circuits, for example, NOT, NOR, and NAND gates.
