Abstract
Superabsorbent hydrogel (SH) is three-dimensional (3D) cross-linked hydrophilic polymer that can absorb and retain large quantities of water or other aqueous solutions. SH is made of water-affinity monomers and is widely used in biomedicine, wastewater treatment, hygiene and slow-release fertilizers (SRFs). This article focused on the preparation methods of SH, superabsorbent hydrogel composite and the application of SH in agriculture. By selecting various synthetic technologies and cross-linking agents, a series of chemical cross-linking or physical networks can be designed and tailored to meet specific applications. In view of the excellent characteristics of water absorption, biodegradability, water retention and slow-release capacity, SH occupies a dominant position in the SRFs market. In this work, the agricultural application of SH in double coated SRFs and nutrients carriers is also discussed. Some mechanisms related to the nutrient release were analyzed by mathematical models. In addition, some agronomic benefits of using superabsorbent hydrogels in improving water absorption, water holding capacity and increasing crop yields were also discussed. Although SH has certain shortcomings, from the perspective of long-term development, it will further show great potential in sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Multifunctional hydrogel-based wound dressings have been explored for decades due to their huge potential in multifaceted medical intervention to wound healing. However, it is usually not easy to fabricate a single hydrogel with all of the desirable functions at one time. Herein, a bilayer model with an outer layer for hydrogel wound dressing was proposed. The inner layer (Hm-PNn) was a hybrid hydrogel prepared by N-isopropylacrylamide and chitosan-N-2-hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride (HACC), and the outer layer (PVAo-PAmp) was prepared by polyvinyl alcohols and acrylamide. The two hydrogel layers of the bilayer model were covalently connected with excellent interfacial strength by photoinduced electron/energy transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization. The outer layer exposed to the ambient environment exhibited good stretchability and toughness, while the inner-layer hydrogel adhered to the skin exhibited excellent softness, antibacterial activity, thermoresponsivity, and biocompatibility. In particular, the inner layer of a hydrogel demonstrated excellent antibacterial capability toward both Staphylococcus aureus as Gram-positive bacteria and Escherichia coli as Gram-negative bacteria. Cell cytotoxicity showed that the cell viability of all Hm-PNn layer hydrogels exceeds 80%, confirming that the hydrogels bear excellent biocompatibility. In vivo experimental results indicated that the Hm-PNn/PVAo-PAmp bilayer hydrogel has a significant effect on the acceleration of wound healing, which was demonstrated in a full-thickness skin defect model showing improved collagen disposition and granulation tissue thickness. With these results, the established multifunctional bilayer hydrogel exhibits potential as an excellent wound dressing for wound healing applications, especially for open and infected traumas.

Abstract
Abstract
Highly stretched and conductive hydrogels, especially synthetized from natural polymers, are beneficial for highly stretched electronic equipment which is applied in extreme environment. We designed and prepared robust and tough alginate hydrogels (GMA-SA-PAM) using the ingenious strategy of fully interpenetrating cross-linking, in which the glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was used to modify sodium alginate (SA) and then copolymerized with acrylamide (AM) and methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) as cross-linkers. The complete cross-linked structures can averagely dissipate energy and the polymer structures can maintain hydrogels that are three-dimensional to greatly improve the mechanical performance of hydrogels. The GMA-SA-PAM hydrogels display ultra-stretchable (strain up to ∼407% of tensile strain) and highly compressible (∼57% of compression strain) properties. In addition, soaking the GMA-SA-PAM hydrogel in 5 wt% NaCl solution also endows the conductivity of the hydrogel (this hydrogel was named as GSP-Na) with excellent conductive properties (5.26 S m−1). The GSP-Na hydrogel with high stability, durability, as well as wide range extent sensor is also demonstrated by researching the electrochemical signals and showing the potential for applications in wearable and quickly responded electronics.

Abstract
We investigated energetics of binding of multifunctional pyranine ligands to hydrogels of the cross-linked poly(methoxyethylaminophosphazene) (PMOEAP) from data on the thermotropic volume phase transition of the gels by means of high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry. Dependences of the transition temperature, enthalpy, and width on the concentration of pyranines were obtained, and the excess transition free energy as a function of the pyranine concentration was calculated. We found that the affinity of the gels for the pyranine ligands increased very significantly upon the gel collapse. The intrinsic binding constants and free energies of binding of the ligands to the gels in the collapsed state were estimated from the DSC data. They revealed a significant increase in the hydrogel affinity for pyranines proportional to the number of anionic groups in the ligand structure. The affinity of the PMOEAP hydrogels for the multifunctional ligands was not affected by an increase in the cross-linking density of the gels and only slightly reduced by physiological salt concentrations.
