Abstract
The synthesis and processing of most thermoplastics and thermoset polymeric materials rely on energy-inefficient and environmentally burdensome manufacturing methods. Frontal polymerization is an attractive, scalable alternative due to its exploitation of polymerization heat that is generally wasted and unutilized. The only external energy needed for frontal polymerization is an initial thermal (or photo) stimulus that locally ignites the reaction. The subsequent reaction exothermicity provides local heating; the transport of this thermal energy to neighboring monomers in either a liquid or gel-like state results in a self-perpetuating reaction zone that provides fully cured thermosets and thermoplastics. Propagation of this polymerization front continues through the unreacted monomer media until either all reactants are consumed or sufficient heat loss stalls further reaction. Several different polymerization mechanisms support frontal processes, including free-radical, cat- or anionic, amine-cure epoxides, and ring-opening metathesis polymerization. The choice of monomer, initiator/catalyst, and additives dictates how fast the polymer front traverses the reactant medium, as well as the maximum temperature achievable. Numerous applications of frontally generated materials exist, ranging from porous substrate reinforcement to fabrication of patterned composites. In this review, we examine in detail the physical and chemical phenomena that govern frontal polymerization, as well as outline the existing applications.

Abstract
In this study, a simple and eco-friendly method was proposed to efficiently prepare nanocomposite hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties and satisfactory pH response behaviour by frontal polymerization (FP) of DEM in close to 4 minutes. Acrylamide (AM) and choline chloride (ChCl) were used as raw materials to synthesize deep eutectic monomers (DEMs). Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes were dispersed in DEMs as fillers, and poly(acrylamide)/nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube (PAM/N-CNT) nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by FP. The non-covalent interactions between PAM hydrogels and N-CNTs was verified by Fourier infrared spectroscopy. The mechanical properties of PAM/N-CNT nanocomposite hydrogels were investigated, as well as the swelling and pH response properties. The results showed that the compressive strength of PAM hydrogels was significantly enhanced by the addition of N-CNTs due to the hydrophobic interaction of N-CNTs, which also causes sensitive response properties of the PAM hydrogels in acid solution. In this study, a simple and eco-friendly method was proposed to efficiently prepare nanocomposite hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties and satisfactory pH response behaviour by frontal polymerization of DEM in close to 4 minutes.![]()

Abstract
At present, Antheraea pernyi silk fibroin (ASF) based hydrogels have wide potential applications as biomaterials because of their superior cytocompatibility. Herein, ASF is used as a nucleophilic reagent, reacted with allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) for the preparation of allyl silk fibroin (ASF-AGE). The investigation of ASF-AGE structure by 1H NMR and FTIR are revealed that reactive allyl groups were obtained on ASF by nucleophilic substitution. A series of ASF based hydrogels are manufactured by N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) copolymerization bridged with ASF-AGE. By the silk fibroin self-assembly process, stably physical cross-linked hydrogels are formed without any crosslinking agent. These hydrogels exhibit good thermoresponsive and degradability, for which the LCST was about 32 °C, and these hydrogels can be degraded in protease XIV solution. Excellent cell proliferation, viability and morphology is demonstrated for b End.3 cells on the hydrogels by the characteristic MTT assay, CLSM and SEM. The cytocompatibility of b End.3 cells was demonstrated with excellent cell adhesion and growth on these ASF based hydrogels in vitro. These degradable and thermoresponsive ASF based hydrogels may find potential applications for cells delivery devices and tissue engineering. At present, Antheraea pernyi silk fibroin (ASF) based hydrogels have wide potential applications as biomaterials because of its superior cytocompatibility.![]()

Abstract
From the perspective of both fundamental and applied science, it is extremely advisable to develop a facile and feasible strategy for fabricating gels with defined structures. Herein, the authors report the rapid synthesis of patterned gels by conducting frontal polymerization (FP) at millimeter-scale (2 mm), where a series of microchannels, including linear-, parallel-, divergent-, snakelike-, circular- and concentric circular channels, were used. They have investigated the effect of various factors (monomer mass ratio, channel size, initiator concentration, and solvent content) on FP at millimeter-scale, along with the propagating rule of the front during FP in these microchannels. In addition, we developed a new microfluidic-assisted FP (MFP) strategy by combining the FP and microfluidic technique. Interestingly, the MFP can realize the production of hollow-structured gel in a rapid and continuous fashion, which have never been reported. Our work not only offers an effective pathway towards patterned gels by the microchannel-conformal FP, but also gives new insight into the continuous production of hollow-structured materials. Such a method will be beneficial for fabricating vessel and scaffold materials in a flexible, easy-to-perform, time and energy saving way.

Abstract
Planar metal-insulator-metal (MIM) optical cavities are attractive for biochemical and environmental sensing applications, as they offer a cost-effective cavity platform with acceptable performances. However, localized detection and scope of expansion of applicable analytes are still challenging. Here, we report a stimuli-responsive color display board that can exhibit local spectral footprints, for locally applied heat and alcohol presence. A thermoresponsive, optically applicable, and patternable copolymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-r-glycidyl methacrylate), is synthesized and used with a photosensitive cross-linker to produce a responsive insulating layer. This layer is then sandwiched between two nanoporous silver membranes to yield a thermoresponsive MIM cavity. The resonant spectral peak is blue-shifted as the environmental temperature increases, and the dynamic range of the resonant peak is largely affected by the composition and structure of the cross-linker and the copolymer. The localized temperature increase of silk particles with gold nanoparticles by laser heating can be measured by reading the spectral shift. In addition, a free-standing color board can be transferred onto a curved biological tissue sample, allowing us to simultaneously read the temperature of the tissue sample and the concentration of ethanol. The stimuli-responsive MIM provides a new way to optically sense localized environmental temperature and ethanol concentration fluctuations.

Abstract
Frontal polymerization (FP) was successfully applied to the synthesis of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-grafted-acryloyl-β-cyclodextrin supramolecularly crosslinked hydrogels. It was established that acryloyl-β-cyclodextrin (AβCD) allowed performing successful frontal polymerizations with N-isopropylacrylamide even in the absence of any covalent crosslinker, which is something generally required. It was found that the swelling properties of the resulting hydrogels can be tuned by varying the amount of AβCD. Namely, when little amounts of this non-covalent crosslinker were used, superabsorbent hydrogels were obtained. Hydrogels containing also a covalent crosslinker were also prepared for comparison. These latter exhibited swelling ratios that are much lower than the others.

Abstract
New thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-phthalocyanine) magnetic nanocomposites were prepared by in situ dispersion polymerization. 4-Nitrophthalic acid and CoCl2 were employed to synthesize tetranitrophthalocyanine and then it was converted to tetraaminophthalocyanine by sodium sulfide. The cobalt tetra(N-carbonylacrylic)aminophthalocyanine monomer was obtained by reaction of tetraaminophthalocyanine with maleic anhydrid. N-isopropylacrylamide as the main monomers, N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide as the cross-linker, poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) as the steric stabilizer, potassium persulfate as the initiator, and new Fe-phthalocyanine oligomer/Fe3O4 nanohybrid particles (FePc/Fe3O4) as nanoparticles were used. The magnetite nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectrum, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results showed that the lower critical solution temperatures of the hydrogel nanocomposits were influenced by the content of FePc/Fe3O4 hybrid nanoparticles. The lower critical solution temperatures of the magnetic hydrogel nanocomposites F3 and F4 were at about 34 and 40 °C. The results show that the increase of FePc/Fe3O4 nanoparticle content caused the LCSTs of the hydrogels to increase. FePc/Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared from 4,4′-isopropyliden-bis-dioxydiphthalonitrile and FeCl3·6H2O via the solvothermal route. The sizes of nanoparticles were determined by scanning electron microscopy. They are spherical in shape and the average size of them is between 30 and 70 nm.

Abstract
The spatial presentation of soluble growth factors, immobilized extracellular matrix molecules, as well as matrix rigidity, plays an important role in directed and guided cell migration. Synthetic hydrogel scaffolds offer the ability to systematically introduce gradients of these factors contributing to our understanding of how the 3D arrangement of biochemical and mechanical cues influence cell behavior. Using a novel photopolymerization technique, perfusion-based frontal photopolymerization (PBFP), we have engineered poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel scaffolds with gradients of mechanical properties and immobilized biofunctionality. The controlled delivery of a buoyant photoinitiator, eosin Y, through a glass frit filter results in the formation and subsequent propagation of a polymer reaction front that is self-sustained and able to propagate through the monomeric mixture. Propagation of this front results in monomer depletion, leading to variations in cross-linking, as well as spatial gradients of elastic modulus and immobilized concentrations of the YRGDS cell adhesion ligand within PEGDA hydrogels. Furthermore, the magnitudes of the resulting gradients are controlled through alterations in polymerization conditions. Preliminary in vitro cell-culture studies demonstrate that the gradients generated stimulate directed 2D cell growth on the surface of PEGDA hydrogels. By day 14, fibroblast aggregates spread roughly twice as far in the direction parallel to the slope of the gradient as compared to the perpendicular direction. The presented technique has great potential in controlling gradients of mechanical properties and immobilized biofunctionality for directing and guiding 3D cell behavior within tissue-engineered scaffolds.

Effects of Synthesis-Solvent on Characteristics of Poly( N-Isopropylacrylamide) Hydrogels Synthesized by Frontal Polymerization. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2011.

Abstract
The synthesis of thermo-responsive hydrogels poly(N-isopropylacrylamide )(PNIPAm) by frontal polymerization (FP) was carried out in four mixed solvents, i.e. dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) mixing with water, ethanol, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and acetone, respectively. The influences of mixed solvent on frontal parameters, pore morphologies, swelling behavior of PNIPAm hydrogels were investigated. The pore of PNIPAm hydrogel synthesized in THF/DMSO was observed a big honeycomb cells, others were channel-like cells. Furthermore, the sample obtained in THF/DMSO had higher swelling ratio as compared to others, and the one synthesized in Water/DMSO showed the lowest. Above results indicated that fine-tuned poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels can be prepared in short time and with easy protocol by adjusting mixed solvents in frontal polymerization process.
