Abstract
As ferroelectrics hold significance and application prospects in wearable devices, the elastification of ferroelectrics becomes more and more important. Nevertheless, achieving elastic ferroelectrics requires stringent synthesis conditions, while the elastification of relaxor ferroelectric materials remains unexplored, presenting an untapped potential for utilization in energy storage and actuation for wearable electronics. The thiol-ene click reaction offers a mild and rapid reaction platform to prepare functional polymers. Therefore, we employed this approach to obtain an elastic relaxor ferroelectric by crosslinking an intramolecular carbon-carbon double bonds (CF=CH) polymer matrix with multiple thiol groups via a thiol-ene click reaction. The resulting elastic relaxor ferroelectric demonstrates pronounced relaxor-type ferroelectric behaviour. This material exhibits low modulus, excellent resilience, and fatigue resistance, maintaining a stable ferroelectric response even under strains up to 70 %. This study introduces a straightforward and efficient approach for the construction of elastic relaxor ferroelectrics, thereby expanding the application possibilities in wearable electronics.

Abstract
The mechanical and architectural properties of the three-dimensional (3D) tissue microenvironment can have large impacts on cellular behavior and phenotype, providing cells with specialized functions dependent on their location. This is especially apparent in macrophage biology where the function of tissue resident macrophages is highly specialized to their location. 3D bioprinting provides a convenient method of fabricating biomaterials that mimic specific tissue architectures. If these printable materials also possess tunable mechanical properties, they would be highly attractive for the study of macrophage behavior in different tissues. Currently, it is difficult to achieve mechanical tunability without sacrificing printability, scaffold porosity, and a loss in cell viability. Here, we have designed composite printable biomaterials composed of traditional hydrogels [nanofibrillar cellulose (cellulose) or methacrylated gelatin (gelMA)] mixed with porous polymeric high internal phase emulsion (polyHIPE) microparticles. By varying the ratio of polyHIPEs to hydrogel, we fabricate composite hydrogels that mimic the mechanical properties of the neural tissue (0.1-0.5 kPa), liver (1 kPa), lungs (5 kPa), and skin (10 kPa) while maintaining good levels of biocompatibility to a macrophage cell line.

Abstract
Elastomeric materials combining multiple properties within a single composite are highly desired in applications including biomaterials interfaces, actuators, and soft robotics. High spatial resolution is required to impart different properties across the composite for the intended application, but many techniques used to prepare these composites rely on multistep and complex methods. There is a need for the development of simple and efficient platforms to design layered composite materials. Here, we report the synthesis of horizontally- and vertically-patterned composites consisting of PDMS-based polymerized high internal phase emulsion (polyHIPE) porous elastomers and PDMS/PEG hydrogels. Composites with defined interfaces that were mechanically robust were prepared, and rheological analysis of the polyHIPE and hydrogel layers showed storage moduli values of ∼ 35 kPa and 45 kPa respectively. The compressive Young's Modulus and maximum strain of the polyHIPEs were dependent on the thiol to ene ratio in the formulation and obtained values ranging from 6 to 25 kPa and 50-65% respectively. The mechanical properties, total porosity of the polyHIPE, and swelling ratio of the hydrogel were unaffected by the patterning technique compared to non-patterned controls. PolyHIPE-hydrogel composite materials having up to 7-different horizontally pattered layers could be prepared that could expand and contract up hydration and drying.

Abstract
Human cells, especially stem cells, need to communicate and interact with extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, which not only serve as structural components but also guide and support cell fate and properties such as cell adhesion, proliferation, survival and differentiation. The binding of the cells with ECM proteins or ECM-derived peptides via cell adhesion receptors such as integrins activates several signaling pathways that determine the cell fate, morphological change, proliferation and differentiation. The development of synthetic ECM protein-derived peptides that mimic the biological and biochemical functions of natural ECM proteins will benefit academic and clinical application. Peptides derived from or inspired by specific ECM proteins can act as agonists of each ECM protein receptor. Given that most ECM proteins function in cell adhesion via integrin receptors, many peptides have been developed that bind to specific integrin receptors. In this review, we discuss the peptide sequence, immobilization design, reaction method, and functions of several ECM protein-derived peptides. Various peptide sequences derived from mainly ECM proteins, which are used for coating or grafting on dishes, scaffolds, hydrogels, implants or nanofibers, have been developed to improve the adhesion, proliferation or differentiation of stem cells and to culture differentiated cells. This review article will help to inform the optimal choice of ECM protein-derived peptides for the development of scaffolds, implants, hydrogels, nanofibers and 2D cell culture dishes to regulate the proliferation and direct the differentiation of stem cells into specific lineages.

Abstract
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be proliferated on completely synthetic materials under xeno-free cultivation conditions using biomaterials grafted with extracellular matrix protein (ECM)-derived peptides. However, cell culture biomaterials grafted with ECM-derived peptides must be prepared using a high concentration of peptide reaction solution (e.g. 1000 μg/ml), whereas the ECM concentration of the ECM-coated surface for hPSC culture is typically 5 μg/ml. We designed a polyethylene glycol (PEG) joint nanosegment (linker) to be used between base cell culture biomaterials and bioactive ECM-derived peptides to enhance the probability of contact between ECM-derived peptides and cell binding receptors of hPSCs. Vitronectin-derived peptides with glycine joint nanosegments (GCGG) were conjugated onto poly (vinyl alcohol-co-itaconic acid) hydrogels via PEG joint nanosegments, and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were cultivated on these hydrogels. hESCs could successfully be cultivated on hydrogels while maintaining their pluripotency and differentiation potential to differentiate into cells that are induced from three germ layers in vitro and in vivo, where only a 50 μg/ml ECM-derived peptide concentration was used when the PEG joint nanosegments were introduced into peptides that were grafted onto hydrogel surfaces. The joint nanosegments between bioactive peptides and base cell culture biomaterials were found to contribute to efficient hESC attachment and proliferation.

Abstract
Among three-dimensional (3D) scaffold fabrication methods, porous polymers templated using high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) have emerged as an attractive method due to the facile generation of interconnected porosity through a variety of synthetic routes. These include a bottom-up approach to selectively incorporate nanomaterials onto the inner walls in a nonaqueous environment. In this work, novel nonaqueous HIPEs made of different (meth)acrylate monomers and a deep eutectic solvent (DES) were formulated with nonfunctionalized nanohydroxyapatite (NHA), which also played the role of cosurfactant. Free radical polymerization of HIPEs yielded free-standing nanocomposites with 3D interconnected macroporosity and nonfunctionalized NHA selectively decorating the scaffolds' inner surface. The influence of different polymer functionalities, acrylate or methacrylate, their alkyl tail length, and the presence of NHA on MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cell proliferation in vitro, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were evaluated. All materials presented promising biocompatibility, non-hemolytic activity, negligible inflammatory response along to remarkably enhanced cell proliferation (e.g., up to 160-fold cell proliferation increase compared with polystyrene plate) in vitro, which open the path for the development of scaffolds in regenerative medicine. It is noteworthy that polyHIPEs studied here were obtained using a green synthetic protocol where nonfunctionalized nanoparticles can be selectively incorporated into a scaffolds' inner walls. This versatile technique allows for the simple construction of 3D bioactive nanocomposite scaffolds with varied compositions for cell culture.

Abstract
High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs), with densely packed droplets of internal phase and monomers dispersed in the continuous phase, are now an established medium for porous polymer preparation (polyHIPEs). The ability to influence the pore size and interconnectivity, together with the process scalability and a wide spectrum of possible chemistries are important advantages of polyHIPEs. In this review, the focus on the biomedical applications of polyHIPEs is emphasised, in particular the applications of polyHIPEs as scaffolds/supports for biological cell growth, proliferation and tissue (re)generation. An overview of the polyHIPE preparation methodology is given and possibilities of morphology tuning are outlined. In the continuation, polyHIPEs with different chemistries and their interaction with biological systems are described. A further focus is given to combined techniques and advanced applications.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) aims to regenerate critical size defects, which cannot heal naturally, by using highly porous matrices called TE scaffolds made of biocompatible and biodegradable materials. There are various manufacturing techniques commonly used to fabricate TE scaffolds. However, in most cases, they do not provide materials with a highly interconnected pore design. Thus, emulsion templating is a promising and convenient route for the fabrication of matrices with up to 99% porosity and high interconnectivity. These matrices have been used for various application areas for decades. Although this polymer structuring technique is older than TE itself, the use of polymerised internal phase emulsions (PolyHIPEs) in TE is relatively new compared to other scaffold manufacturing techniques. It is likely because it requires a multidisciplinary background including materials science, chemistry and TE although producing emulsion templated scaffolds is practically simple. To date, a number of excellent reviews on emulsion templating have been published by the pioneers in this field in order to explain the chemistry behind this technique and potential areas of use of the emulsion templated structures. This particular review focusses on the key points of how emulsion templated scaffolds can be fabricated for different TE applications. Accordingly, we first explain the basics of emulsion templating and characteristics of PolyHIPE scaffolds. Then, we discuss the role of each ingredient in the emulsion and the impact of the compositional changes and process conditions on the characteristics of PolyHIPEs. Afterward, current fabrication methods of biocompatible PolyHIPE scaffolds and polymerisation routes are detailed, and the functionalisation strategies that can be used to improve the biological activity of PolyHIPE scaffolds are discussed. Finally, the applications of PolyHIPEs on soft and hard TE as well as in vitro models and drug delivery in the literature are summarised.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE)-based bone grafts are favorable alternatives to autografts and allografts. Both biochemical properties and the architectural features of TE scaffolds are crucial in their design process. Synthetic polymers are attractive biomaterials to be used in the manufacturing of TE scaffolds, due to various advantages, such as being relatively inexpensive, enabling precise reproducibility, possessing tunable mechanical/chemical properties, and ease of processing. However, such scaffolds need modifications to improve their limited interaction with biological tissues. Structurally, multiscale porosity is advantageous over single-scale porosity; therefore, in this study, we have considered two key points in the design of a bone repair material; (i) manufacture of multiscale porous scaffolds made of photocurable polycaprolactone (PCL) by a combination of emulsion templating and three-dimensional (3D) printing and (ii) decoration of these scaffolds with the in vitro generated bone-like extracellular matrix (ECM) to create biohybrid scaffolds that have improved biological performance compared to PCL-only scaffolds. Multiscale porous scaffolds were fabricated, bone cells were cultured on them, and then they were decellularized. The biological performance of these constructs was tested in vitro and in vivo. Mesenchymal progenitors were seeded on PCL-only and biohybrid scaffolds. Cells not only showed improved attachment on biohybrid scaffolds but also exhibited a significantly higher rate of cell growth and osteogenic activity. The chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay was used to explore the angiogenic potential of the biohybrid scaffolds. The CAM assay indicated that the presence of the in vitro generated ECM on polymeric scaffolds resulted in higher angiogenic potential and a high degree of tissue infiltration. This study demonstrated that multiscale porous biohybrid scaffolds present a promising approach to improve bioactivity, encourage precursors to differentiate into mature bones, and to induce angiogenesis.

Abstract
Haematopoiesis, the process of blood production, occurs from a tiny contingent of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in highly specialised three-dimensional niches located within the bone marrow. When haematopoiesis is replicated using in vitro two-dimensional culture, HSCs rapidly differentiate, limiting self-renewal. Emulsion-templated highly porous polyHIPE foam scaffolds were chosen to mimic the honeycomb architecture of human bone. The unmodified polyHIPE material supports haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) culture, with successful culture of erythroid progenitors and neutrophils within the scaffolds. Using erythroid culture methodology, the CD34+ population was maintained for 28 days with continual release of erythroid progenitors. These cells are shown to spontaneously repopulate the scaffolds, and the accumulated egress can be expanded and grown at large scale to reticulocytes. We next show that the polyHIPE scaffolds can be successfully functionalised using activated BM(PEG)2 (1,8-bismaleimido-diethyleneglycol) and then a Jagged-1 peptide attached in an attempt to facilitate notch signalling. Although Jagged-1 peptide had no detectable effect, the BM(PEG)2 alone significantly increased cell egress when compared to controls, without depleting the scaffold population. This work highlights polyHIPE as a novel functionalisable material for mimicking the bone marrow, and also that PEG can influence HSPC behaviour within scaffolds.
