Abstract
The formation and properties of smart (stimuli-responsive) membranes are reviewed, with a special focus on temperature and pH triggering of gating to water, ions, polymers, nanoparticles, or other molecules of interest. The review is organized in two parts, starting with all-smart membranes based on intrinsically smart materials, in particular of the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) family and similar polymers. The key steps of membrane fabrication are discussed, namely the deposition into thin films, functionalization of pores, and the secondary crosslinking of pre-existing microgel particles into membranes. The latter may be free-standing and do not necessitate the presence of a porous support layer. The temperature-dependent swelling properties of polymers provide a means of controlling the size of pores, and thus size-sensitive gating. Throughout the review, we highlight "positive" (gates open) or "negative" (closed) gating effects with respect to increasing temperature. In the second part, the functionalization of porous organic or inorganic membranes of various origins by either microgel particles or linear polymer brushes is discussed. In this case, the key steps are the adsorption or grafting mechanisms. Finally, whenever provided by the authors, the suitability of smart gating membranes for specific applications is highlighted.

Abstract
Infected bone defect repair has long been a major challenge in orthopedic surgery. Apart from bacterial contamination, excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lack of osteogenesis ability also threaten the defect repair process. However, few strategies have been proposed to address these issues simultaneously. Herein, we designed and fabricated a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive, hierarchically porous scaffold to address these limitations in a synergetic manner. In this design, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were used to fabricate the porous PMMA/PEI scaffolds via the anti-solvent vapor-induced phase separation (VIPS) process. Then, Ti3C2 MXenes were anchored on the scaffolds through the dopamine-assisted co-deposition process to obtain the PMMA/PEI/polydopamine (PDA)/MXene scaffolds. Under NIR laser irradiation, the scaffolds were able to kill bacteria through the direct contact-killing and synergetic photothermal effect of Ti3C2 MXenes and PDA. Moreover, MXenes and PDA also endowed the scaffolds with excellent ROS-scavenging capacity and satisfying osteogenesis ability. Our experimental results also confirmed that the PMMA/PEI/PDA/MXene scaffolds significantly promoted new bone formation in an infected mandibular defect model. We believe that our study provides new insights into the treatment of infected bone defects.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 652:1512-1521.

Abstract
Long-term exposition of electrodes to aqueous media inevitably results in biofouling and adhesion of bacteria, reducing the electrolysis efficiency of electrodes for water treatment. To ensure technically efficient antifouling of materials for durable electrodes, hierarchical micro-/nano structured boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes were designed and synthesized. Multi-level structured BDD was coated on titanium mesh by a bottom-up strategy, based on a combination of self-assembly seeding and hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) growth. The morphology of the BDD coating can be controlled by manipulating the seeding density and boron doping concentration. The designed micro/nano hierarchical structure of the BDD electrode suppressed bacterial adhesion greatly and exhibited excellent anti-biofouling efficiency with an antibacterial rate of ∼ 93 %, which entails simplified self-cleaning and durable BDD-coated electrodes. The BDD-coated electrodes were employed to electrochemically treat Escherichia coli-contaminated water, killing virtually all bacteria (≥99.9 %) in 1 min. Finally, real river water was electrochemically treated, reducing the chemical oxygen demand (COD) down to 5 mg/L in 4 h. The excellent performance shows the great potential of the structured BDD electrodes for long-term water purification.
