Abstract
Polyamides (PA) are among the most essential and versatile polymers due to their outstanding characteristics, for example, high chemical resistance and temperature stability. Furthermore, nature-derived monomers can introduce hard-to-synthesize structures into the PAs for unique polymer properties. Pinene, as one of the most abundant terpenes in nature and its presumable stability-giving bicyclic structure, is therefore highly promising. This work presents simple anionic ring-opening polymerizations of β-pinene lactam (AROP) in-bulk and in solution. PAs with high molecular weights, suitable for further processing, are produced. Their good mechanical, thermal (Td s up to 440 °C), and transparent appearance render them promising high-performance biomaterials. In the following, the suitability of different initiators is discussed. Thereby, it is found that NaH is the most successful for in-bulk polymerization, with a degree of polymerization (DP) of about 322. For solution-AROP, iPrMgCl·LiCl is successfully used for the first time, achieving DPs up to about 163. The obtained PAs are also hot-pressed, and the dynamic mechanical properties are analyzed.

Abstract
The advancement achieved in Tissue Engineering is based on a careful and in-depth study of cell-tissue interactions. The choice of a specific biomaterial in Tissue Engineering is fundamental, as it represents an interface for adherent cells in the creation of a microenvironment suitable for cell growth and differentiation. The knowledge of the biochemical and biophysical properties of the extracellular matrix is a useful tool for the optimization of polymeric scaffolds. This review aims to analyse the chemical, physical, and biological parameters on which are possible to act in Tissue Engineering for the optimization of polymeric scaffolds and the most recent progress presented in this field, including the novelty in the modification of the scaffolds' bulk and surface from a chemical and physical point of view to improve cell-biomaterial interaction. Moreover, we underline how understanding the impact of scaffolds on cell fate is of paramount importance for the successful advancement of Tissue Engineering. Finally, we conclude by reporting the future perspectives in this field in continuous development.

Abstract
The present study evaluates the capability of fifteen 3D printed thermoplastic polymers as novel stationary phases for the extraction of forty-three physicochemically diverse analytes from fortified human oral fluid samples. Prototype extraction devices were prepared in 96-well plate-compatible format using fused deposition modeling 3D printer. The sample preparation was performed with 5-step protocol utilizing 96-well plates and semiautomated benchtop shaker. All resulting extracts were analyzed via high-performance liquid chromatography (operated in reversed-phase gradient elution mode) and tandem mass spectrometry (with electrospray ionization and triple quadrupole mass spectrometer). Exceptionally favorable results were observed for three polymer types: polyamide 6 (reinforced with 15% carbon fiber), LAYFOMM-60 (polyurethane with water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol), and S-FLEX 90A (thermoplastic polyurethane). Furthermore, this study also introduces an automated and repeatable 3D printing method for the fast fabrication of high-throughput, and highly selective sample preparation devices, most of which are ready-to-use without any additional processing or chemical functionalization. As such, the proposed printing method represents a significant step towards the introduction of novel polymeric stationary phases for analytical sample preparation, thus providing laboratory personnel with a method that is safer and more convenient, while minimizing negative environmental impacts.

Abstract
Tumor organoids are defined as self-organized three-dimensional assemblies of heterogeneous cell types derived from patient samples that mimic the key histopathological, genetic, and phenotypic characteristics of the original tumor. This technology is proposed as an ideal candidate for the evaluation of possible therapies against cancer, presenting advantages over other models which are currently used. However, there are no reports in the literature that relate the techniques and material development of tumor organoids or that emphasize in the physicochemical and biological properties of materials that intent to biomimicry the tumor extracellular matrix. There is also little information regarding the tools to identify the correspondence of native tumors and tumoral organoids (tumoroids). Moreover, this paper relates the advantages of organoids compared to other models for drug evaluation. A growing interest in tumoral organoids has arisen from 2009 to the present, aimed at standardizing the process of obtaining organoids, which more accurately resemble patient-derived tumor tissue. Likewise, it was found that the characteristics to consider for the development of organoids, and therapeutic responses of them, are cell morphology, physiology, the interaction between cells, the composition of the cellular matrix, and the genetic, phenotypic, and epigenetic characteristics. Currently, organoids have been used for the evaluation of drugs for brain, lung, and colon tumors, among others. In the future, tumor organoids will become closer to being considered a better model for studying cancer in clinical practice, as they can accurately mimic the characteristics of tumors, in turn ensuring that the therapeutic response aligns with the clinical response of patients.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers can be effectively used as a surrogate for extracellular matrices (ECMs). However, in the context of cellular mechanobiology, their mechanical performances can be enhanced by using nanofibrous materials with a high level of structural organization. Herein, this work develops multifibrillar yarns with superior mechanical performance based on biocompatible polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as surrogate ECM. Nearly perfect aligned nanofibers along with the axis of the multifibrillar yarn are prepared. These highly aligned yarns exhibit high strength, high toughness, good stress relaxation behavior, and are robust enough for technical or medical applications. Further, this work analyzes the influence of the highly aligned-hierarchical topological structure of the material on cell proliferation and cell orientation using cells derived from epithelial and connective tissues. Compared to nonoriented electrospun multifibrillar yarns and flat films, the well-ordered topology in the electrospun PAN multifibrillar yarns triggers an improved proliferation of fibroblasts and epithelial cells. Fibroblasts acquire an elongated morphology analogous to their behavior in the natural ECM. Hence, this heterogeneous multifibrillar material can be used to restore or reproduce the ECM for tissue engineering applications, notably in the skeletal muscle and tendon.

Abstract
Ring opening polymerization (ROP) of lactams is a highly efficient and versatile method to synthesize polyamides. Within the last ten years, significant advances in polymerization methodology and monomer diversity are ushering in a new era of polyamide chemistry. We begin with a discussion of polymerization techniques including the most widely used anionic ring opening polymerization (AROP), and less prevalent cationic ROP and enzyme-catalyzed ROP. Next, we describe new monomers being explored for ROP with increased functionality and stereochemistry. We emphasize the relationships between composition, structure, and properties, and how chemists can control composition and structure to dictate a desired property or performance. Finally, we discuss biomedical applications of the synthesized polyamides, specifically as biomaterials and pharmaceuticals, with examples to include as antimicrobial agents, cell adhesion substrates, and drug delivery scaffolds.

Abstract
![]()
Polyamide noncoated
device for adsorption-based microextraction
(PANDA microextraction) is a brand new, easy to prepare, environmentally
friendly, inexpensive, and efficient sample preparation method created
entirely with the use of 3D printing. The proposed method is based
on the extractive proprieties of the unmodified polyamide and carbon
fiber blends and is compared with the highly selective thin-film microextraction
(TFME). In addition, 3D printing was used to simplify the process
of TFME. Prototype sample preparation devices were evaluated by the
extraction of oral fluid spiked with 38 small molecules with diverse
chemical natures, such as lipophilicity in the log P range of 0.2–7.2. The samples were analyzed by high-performance
liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The results
indicate that chemically and thermally resistant 3D printed supports
can be successfully used as a cost-saving, environmentally friendly
solution for the preparation of TFME devices, alternative to the conventional
metal supports, with only marginal differences in the extraction yield
(mean = 4.0%, median = 1.8%, range = 0.0–22.3%, n = 38). Even more remarkably, in some cases, the newly proposed PANDA
microextraction method exceeded the reference TFME in terms of the
extraction efficacy and offered excellent sample cleanup as favorable
matrix effects were observed (mean = −8.5%, median = 7.5%,
range = −34.7–20.0%, n = 20). This
innovative approach paves the road to the simplified sample preparation
with the use of emerging extractive 3D printing polymers.

Abstract
Terpene-based polyesteramides (PEAs) are sustainable and have a variety of favorable properties, making them suitable for a wide range of applications and for contribution to a much more sustainable polymer industry. This work focuses on the synthesis of the lactam from β-pinene and its copolymerization with ε-caprolactone. An important step in synthesizing β-pinene lactam is the oxidation of β-pinene to nopinone. To make the established oxidative cleavage more sustainable and efficient, the required amounts of Al2 O3 and KMnO4 are significantly reduced by using H2 SO4 as a catalyst. For the Beckmann rearrangement various catalysts and co-reagents are screened. Among these, the reaction with tosyl chloride is found the most favorable. Subsequently, the chain lengths of the β-pinene-based PEAs are remarkably increased from 6000 g mol-1 to more than 25 100 g mol-1 by fine-tuning reaction time, temperature, and decreasing catalyst and initiator concentrations. Also, different catalysts for polymerization are tested. The resulting material shows melting temperatures of ≈55 °C and decomposition temperatures of 354 °C or higher. Processing via melt pressing or casting turned out to be quite difficult due to the polymer's brittleness. Furthermore, regarding biomedical applications, blends of PEA with polyethylene glycol were successfully prepared, yielding a more hydrophilic material.

Abstract
We developed novel scaffolds for the adherent culture of neural stem/progenitor cells on the woven mesh. Nylon mesh (NM) is an inert material for cell adhesion. We prepared polyacrylic acid-grafted nylon mesh (PAA-NM) by graft polymerization method using gamma-irradiation. Matrigel was covalently immobilized to the carboxyl groups in PAA-NM by chemical conjugation using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino propyl) carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) to prepare the Matrigel-immobilized PAA-grafted nylon mesh (M-PAA-NM). Cell adhesion property of mouse neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) between the NM, PAA-NM, and M-PAA-NM was different from each other. The neurosphere-like clusters of NSPCs were weakly bound to NM and PAA-NM without spreading. The NSPCs were firmly adhered to, spread, and covered the surface of M-PAA-NM. We evaluated the state of differentiation by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immnocytochemistry. A neuronal marker β III tubulin, a glial marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and a mature glial marker S100β were expressed at a low level in the cultured cells while immature NSPCs marker Nestin and Sox2 were slightly lower without significant statistical difference. We concluded that the M-PAA-NM is a good substrate for adherent culture of NSPCs without triggering their cell differentiation, and also provides the maintenance of their growth with fewer passages in comparison with the conventional suspension culture of NSPCs in neurospheres.

Abstract
Mixtures of water and PEG exhibit a well known eutectic phase diagram. While the thermodynamic properties like eutectic and liquidus temperatures as well as the eutectic concentration are intensely investigated almost nothing is known about the structural properties of water and PEG in the different regions of the phase diagram. Therefore, we report on a combined DSC, SAXS and WAXS study over the full range of polymer water compositions in order to elucidate the crystalline and semi-crystalline structure. Throughout the whole phase diagram no signatures of a mixed-crystalline phase of PEG and water can be found. Below the eutectic temperature, both components demix microscopically into hexagonal ice and crystalline PEG with its well known crystalline structure. In the region between eutectic and liquidus temperature, the solid component is composed of a single phase of either pure semi-crystalline PEG (PEG rich side of the phase diagram) or pure ice (water rich side). The semi-crystalline structure of PEG, in contrast, is changed by the presence of water. Its long spacing dac increases due to the incorporation of water molecules in the amorphous regions, while the formation of crystalline regions seems to be enhanced, resulting in an almost unaffected crystallinity.

Abstract
Biological meshes have always posed a challenge in biological medicine, for which nanocomposites with enhanced biocompatibility and antibacterial activity may be beneficial. In this study, lysozyme (LY) and collagen (Col) were alternately deposited on silk fibroin (SF) and nylon 6 (N6) composite nanofibrous mats using a layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique. The mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity of the LBL structured mats were characterized systematically to investigate the impact of the LBL process on the biological properties of SF/N6 nanofibrous mats. Our results showed that the effective deposition of LY and Col may affect the surface topography, mechanical properties, and wetting behavior of the SF/N6 nanofibrous mats. Moreover, LBL structured mats exhibited excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. Among all the tested mats, those coated with 10 bilayers of LY and Col displayed the best biocompatibility, and relatively good mechanical and antibacterial properties. Thus, LBL structured mats, especially those with a 10 bilayer coating, are potentially valuable in clinical therapy for pelvic organ prolapse in the future.

Abstract
The use of renewable feedstock is one of the twelve key principles of sustainable chemistry. Unfortunately, bio-based compounds often suffer from high production cost and low performance. To fully tap the potential of natural compounds it is important to utilize their functionalities that could make them superior compared to fossil-based resources. Here we show the conversion of (+)-3-carene, a by-product of the cellulose industry into ε-lactams from which polyamides. The lactams are selectively prepared in two diastereomeric configurations, leading to semi-crystalline or amorphous, transparent polymers that can compete with the thermal properties of commercial high-performance polyamides. Copolyamides with caprolactam and laurolactam exhibit an increased glass transition and amorphicity compared to the homopolyamides, potentially broadening the scope of standard polyamides. A four-step one-vessel monomer synthesis, applying chemo-enzymatic catalysis for the initial oxidation step, is established. The great potential of the polyamides is outlined.
