Abstract
Chitosan (CS) has physicochemical properties including solubility, crystallinity, swellability, viscosity, and cohesion, along with biological properties like biocompatibility, biodegradation, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antitumor effects. However, these characteristics of CS are greatly affected by its degree of deacetylation, molecular weight, pH and other factors, which limits the application of CS in biomedicine. The modification of CS with catechol-containing substances inspired by mussels can not only improve these properties of CS, but also endow it with self-healing property, providing an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to promote the application of CS in biomedicine. In this paper, the properties of CS and its limitation in the biomedical filed are introduced in detail. Then, the modification methods and properties of substances with catechol groups inspired by mussels on CS are reviewed. Finally, the applications of modified CS in the biomedical field of wound healing, drug delivery, anticancer therapy, biosensor and 3D printing are further discussed. This review can provide valuable information for the design and exploitation of mussel-inspired CS in the biomedical field.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:131118. [PMID: 38522685 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Conductive hydrogels are widely used as sensors in wearable devices. However, hydrogels cannot endure harsh low-temperature environments. Herein, a new regulatory system based on natural ice-structuring proteins (ISPs) and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) is introduced into hydrogel network consisting of chemically crosslinked network of copolymerized acrylamide and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, and physically crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol chains, affording an anti-freezing hydrogel with high conductivity (2.63 S/m). These hydrogels show excellent adhesion behavior to various matrices (including aluminum, glass, pigskin, and plastic). Their mechanical properties are significantly improved with the increase in CNF content (tensile strength of 106.4 kPa, elastic modulus of 133.8 kPa). In addition, ISPs inhibit the growth of ice. This endows the hydrogels with anti-freezing property and allows them to maintain satisfactory mechanical properties, conductivity and sensing properties below zero degrees. Moreover, this hydrogel shows high sensitivity to tensile and compressive deformation (GF = 5.07 at 600-800 % strain). Therefore, it can be utilized to develop strain-type pressure sensors that can be attached directly to human skin for detecting various body motions accurately, reliably, and stably. This study proposes a simple strategy to improve the anti-freezing property of hydrogels, which provides new insights for developing flexible hydrogel electronic devices for application in winter sports.

Abstract
Multilayer nanocomposite film made of different materials has multifunctional properties and is applied in the field of flexible electronic devices. Herein, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) were used as the matrix and thermal conductivity material of the HEC/BNNS (HB) insulation layer and were combined with conductive blade structure graphene/silver nanowires (GA) film to prepare a three-layer HB/GA20/HB film. Using the high mechanical properties of the HEC based film, the tensile strength of the three-layer film is increased to 22.0 MPa, 633 % higher than that of the pure conductive film. The sensor prepared by multilayer film has good bending sensing performance (1500 cycles) and electromagnetic shielding performance (29.3 dB). The heating temperature of HB/GA20/HB film heater is up to 107.9 °C at 20 V. In the HB/GA20/HB film, the external HB layer provides insulation, thermal conductivity and physical support, and the internal GA layer with good conductive and sensing properties is combined to build a multi-functional sensor, which can be applied as a mobile sensor, heater and electromagnetic shielding material in the flexible wearable field.

Abstract
Nanocellulose, as a nanoscale polymer material, has garnered significant attention worldwide due to its numerous advantages including excellent biocompatibility, thermal stability, non-toxicity, large specific surface area, and good hydrophilicity. Various methods can be employed for the preparation of nanocellulose. Traditional approaches such as mechanical, chemical, and biological methods possess their own distinct characteristics and limitations. However, with the growing deterioration of our living environment, several green and environmentally friendly preparation techniques have emerged. These novel approaches adopt eco-friendly technologies or employ green reagents to achieve environmental sustainability. Simultaneously, there is a current research focus on optimizing traditional nanocellulose preparation methods while addressing their inherent drawbacks. The combination of mechanical and chemical methods compensates for the limitations associated with using either method alone. Nanocellulose is widely used in wound dressings owing to its exceptional properties, which can accelerate the wound healing process and reduce patient discomfort. In this paper, the principle, advantages and disadvantages of each preparation method of nanocellulose and the research findings in recent years are introduced Moreover, this review provides an overview of the utilization of nanocellulose in wound dressing applications. Finally, the prospective trends in its development alongside corresponding preparation techniques are discussed.
