Abstract
Functional hydrogels have emerged as foundational materials in diagnostics, therapy, and wearable devices, owing to their high stretchability, flexibility, sensing, and outstanding biocompatibility. Their significance stems from their resemblance to biological tissue and their exceptional versatility in electrical, mechanical, and biofunctional engineering, positioning themselves as a bridge between living organisms and electronic systems, paving the way for the development of highly compatible, efficient, and stable interfaces. These multifaceted capability revolutionizes the essence of hydrogel-based wearable devices, distinguishing them from conventional biomedical devices in real-world practical applications. In this comprehensive review, we first discuss the fundamental chemistry of hydrogels, elucidating their distinct properties and functionalities. Subsequently, we examine the applications of these bioelectronics within the human body, unveiling their transformative potential in diagnostics, therapy, and human-machine interfaces (HMI) in real wearable bioelectronics. This exploration serves as a scientific compass for researchers navigating the interdisciplinary landscape of chemistry, materials science, and bioelectronics.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 366:121858. [PMID: 39018838 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
A new facile route to decorate polyurethane foams (PUF) with dense and uniform silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to ensure efficient and long-term water disinfection is proposed. The antibacterial sponge was fabricated by sequential treatment with chitosan hydrogels grafting, polydopamine (PDA) coating, and finally in situ growth of AgNPs on the surface of substrate. The morphologies, chemical composition, crystalline nature, mechanical property, and swelling capacity of the composite were characterized. Its silver release behavior and bactericidal performances against Escherichia coli (E. coli) were evaluated. Results show that the composite demonstrated higher mechanical strength (compression strength, 51.34 kPa) and a rapid swelling rate with an equilibrium swelling ratio of 18.2 g/g. It possessed a higher loading amount of AgNPs (35.87 mg/g) than that of PUF@Ag (8.21 mg/g) and restricted the cumulative silver release of below 0.05% after 24-h immersion in water. Besides, it presented efficient bactericidal activity with complete reduction of E. coli with 10 min of contact time. The strong bactericidal action was probably governed by strengthening the contact between AgNPs immobilized on the substrate and bacteria cells. Furthermore, the composite demonstrated exceptional reusability for five cycles and exhibited a superior processing capacity in the flow test. Finally, the composite could effectively disinfect the natural water sample like a river in 30 min under real conditions.

Synthesis of sodium alginate / polyvinyl alcohol / polyethylene glycol semi-interpenetrating hydrogel as a draw agent for forward osmosis desalination. BMC Chem 2024; 18:134. [PMID: 39049105 PMCID: PMC11271198 DOI: 10.1186/s13065-024-01246-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Typically, hydrogels are described as three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers that are able to capture a certain mass of water within their structure. Recently, hydrogels have been widely used as drawing agents in forward osmosis (FO) desalination processes. The major aim of this study is to prepare a novel semi-interpenetrating hydrogel by crosslinking sodium alginate (SA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by using the epichlorohydrin (ECH) crosslinker and polyethylene glycol (PEG) interpenetrated within the hydrogel's network as a linear polymer. Based on the optimum composition of SA/PVA composite hydrogel obtained from our earlier research, the effect of various percentages of PEG on the response of the hydrogel was investigated. The optimal composition of SA/PVA/PEG hydrogel was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), compression strength testing, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphological and mechanical properties of the SA/PVA/PEG semi-interpenetrating hydrogel were also compared to those of the SA/PVA composite hydrogel. Moreover, the performance of the optimal SA/PVA/PEG hydrogel in a FO batch unit as a drawing agent was investigated based on the optimal operation conditions from our previous experiments. The results showed that the optimal PEG/polymer blend mass ratio was 0.25, which increased the swelling ratio (SR) (%) of the hydrogel from 645.42 (of the neat SA/PVA hydrogel) to 2683. The SA/PVA/PEG semi-interpenetrating hydrogel was superior to the SA/PVA copolymer hydrogel in pore structure and mechanical properties. Additionally, in terms of FO desalination, the achieved water flux by SA/PVA/PEG hydrogel is higher than that accomplished by SA/PVA hydrogel.

Abstract
Recently, hydrogels have been widely applied as draw agents in forward osmosis (FO) desalination. This work aims to synthesize bioartificial hydrogel from a blend of sodium alginate (SA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) using epichlorohydrin (ECH) as a crosslinker. Then this prepared hydrogel was applied as a draw agent with cellulose triacetate membrane in a batch (FO) cell. The effects of the PVA content in the polymer blend and the crosslinker dose on the hydrogel's swelling capacity were investigated to optimize the hydrogel's composition. Furthermore, the water flux and the reverse solute flux of the optimum SA/PVA hydrogel were evaluated in a batch (FO) unit under the effect of the hydrogel's particle size, feed solution (FS) temperature, FS concentration, and membrane orientation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and compression strength tests were used to characterize the prepared hydrogel. Results revealed that the equilibrium swelling ratio (%) of 5228 was achieved with a hydrogel that had 25% PVA and a crosslinking ratio of 0.8. FO experiments revealed that the maximum water flux of 0.845 LMH achieved, when distilled water was used as FS, average hydrogel's particle size was 60 µm, and the FS temperature was 40 °C.

Abstract
Solar-powered interfacial evaporation has been recognized to be a promising and sustainable technology for seawater desalination, in view of the challenge of freshwater scarcity and fossil energy storage. Nevertheless, current cutting-edge interfacial evaporation systems mostly ignore the issues of intermittent solar irradiation and bacterial contamination. We have hereby developed a novel type of an interfacial evaporator equipped with carbon black (CB)/chitosan (CS)-decorated phase-change microcapsules as a multifunctional photothermal material for solar-powered seawater desalination, based on a highly efficient, antibacterial, and salt-resistant multipurpose strategy. In the developed microcapsules, an n-docosane phase-change material (PCM) core was engulfed in a TiO2 shell, followed by surface decorating a CB/CS nanocomposite layer. A high thermal energy-storage capacity of more than 140 J g-1 was achieved, thanks to tight sealing of n-docosane as a PCM core in the perfect core-shell structured microcapsules. Moreover, a rational combination of CS and CB nanoparticles not only contributes an extremely high solar absorption efficiency of 95.04% and good wettability to the as-synthesized microcapsules, but also imparts outstanding antibacterial and salt-resistant abilities to them. These innovative designs enable the developed evaporator to gain a high evaporation rate of 2.58 kg m-2 h-1, along with an evaporation efficiency higher than 90% for consecutive and stable evaporation of seawater under intermittent solar illumination. Compared to conventional evaporators without a PCM, there is an increase by 1.03 kg m-2 in the total water production of the develop evaporator under natural solar illumination for 8 h on a semicloudy day. The resultant evaporated water presents good vegetation compatibility to meet the requirement of crop growth for agricultural cultivation. This work provides a new pathway for designing and developing the high-performance interfacial evaporators with prominent antibacterial and salt-resistant abilities to produce purified water through solar-powered sustainable seawater desalination.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 233:123585. [PMID: 36758757 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
The disease-related suffering in colorectal cancer remains prevalent despite advancements in the field of drug delivery. Chemotherapy-related side effects and non-specificity remain a challenge in drug delivery. The great majority of hydrophobic drugs cannot be successfully delivered to the colon orally mainly due to poor solubility, low bioavailability, pH differences, and food interactions. Polymeric nanoparticles are potential drug delivery candidates but there are numerous limitations to their usefulness in colon cancer. The nanoparticles are removed from the body rapidly by p-glycoprotein efflux, inactivation, or breakdown by enzymes limiting their efficiency. Furthermore, there is a lack of selectivity in targeting cancer cells; nanoparticles may also target healthy cells, resulting in toxicity and adverse effects. The study aimed to use nanoparticles for specific targeting of the colorectal tumor cells via the oral route of administration without adverse effects. Folic acid (FA), a cancer-targeting ligand possessing a high affinity for folate receptors overexpressed in colorectal cancers was conjugated to sodium alginate- nanoparticles by NH2-linkage. The folic-acid conjugated nanoparticles (FNPs) were delivered to the colon by a pH-sensitive hydrogel synthesized by the free radical polymerization method to provide sustained drug release. The developed system referred to as the "Hydrogel-Nano (HN) drug delivery system," was specifically capable of delivering diferourylmethane to the colon. The HN system was characterized by DLS, FTIR, XRD, TGA, DSC, and SEM. The FNPs size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential were measured. The folic acid-conjugation to nanoparticles' surface was studied by UV-visible spectroscopy using Beer-Lambert's law. In-vitro studies, including sol-gel, porosity, drug loading, entrapment efficiency, etc., revealed promising results. The swelling and release studies showed pH-dependent release of the drug in colonic pH 7.4. Cellular uptake and cytotoxicity studies performed on FR-overexpressed Hela cell lines and FR-negative A-549 cell lines showed facilitated uptake of nanoparticles by folate receptors. A threefold increase in Cmax and prolongation of the mean residence time (MRT) to 14.52 +/- 0.217 h indicated sustained drug release by the HN system. The findings of the study can provide a sufficient ground that the synergistic approach of the HN system can deliver hydrophobic drugs to colorectal cancer cells via the oral route, but further in-vivo animal cancer model studies are required.

Abstract
This paper reports the preparation of calcium alginate gels-functionalized PUF decorated with AgNPs (CA/PUF@Ag) by in situ reduction of Ag+ ions to form AgNPs with weakly reducing glycerol in CA/PUF composite. The water-adsorbing capacity, chemical structure, crystalline nature, elemental composition and morphologies of the composite were characterized. The Ag release behavior of CA/PUF@Ag was investigated. The inhibition zone test, time-dependent co-culture assay, test tube test, and antibacterial filtration experiment with Escherichia coli as an indicator of bacterial contamination were conducted to explore the antimicrobial efficacy. Results indicated that the CA/PUF@Ag prepared at 0.25 % w/v of SA could absorb more water with a higher swelling ratio of 8.0 g/g than that of PUF@Ag (6.0 g/g), which was subsequently squeezed by minimal pressure stimuli. The CA/PUF@Ag had a larger initial AgNPs loading amount (8.48 mg/g), lower Ag release concentration (44.35 μg/L) and lower Ag release rate (0.27 %) after 14 days tests than those of PUF@Ag (7.93 mg/g, 80.87 μg/L and 0.60 % respectively). The CA/PUF@Ag was highly reusable because bacterial cells in the squeezed water recovered from the composite were completely inactivated over five cycles of operation, and exhibited good antibacterial efficacy as an antibacterial filter in a flow test.

Abstract
We report the preparation and evaluation of graphene oxide (GO)-enhanced alginate hydrogels for drawing water across an osmotic desalination membrane. GO-incorporated calcium alginate hydrogels (GO-HG) and pure calcium alginate hydrogels (P-HG) were synthesized for this study. Environmental scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle, and water uptake tests showed both samples to be strongly hydrophilic. The synthesized hydrogels demonstrated the ability to successfully and continuously draw water through a selective osmotic membrane in experiments. This was driven by the surface energy gradient-induced negative pressure between the more hydrophilic hydrogel and less hydrophilic membrane surface. The GO-HG was found to draw 21.2% more water than the P-HG, owing to the flexible GO nanosheets, which can be easily incorporated into the hydrogel framework. The GO nanosheets not only offer more hydrophilic functional sites but also enhance the connectivity within the alginate hydrogel framework so as to enhance the water production performance. The average amount of water drawn through the membrane by the GO-HG and the P-HG is 23.4 ± 0.9 g and 19.3 ± 1.8 g, respectively. It was found that no external stimuli were needed as water flows through the hydrogel due to gravitational force. The GO-enhanced alginate hydrogel, combined with the osmotic membrane, is a promising surface energy gradient-driven functional material for water purification and desalination without applying external pressure.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) membrane process is expected to realize energy-saving seawater desalination. To this end, energy-saving water recovery from a draw solution (DS) and effective DS regeneration are essential. Recently, thermo-responsive DSs have been developed to realize energy-saving water recovery and DS regeneration. We previously reported that high-temperature reverse osmosis (RO) treatment was effective in recovering water from a thermo-responsive ionic liquid (IL)-based DS. In this study, to confirm the advantages of the high-temperature RO operation, thermo-sensitive IL-based DS was treated by an RO membrane at temperatures higher than the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the DS. Tetrabutylammonium 2,4,6-trimethylbenznenesulfonate ([N4444][TMBS]) with an LCST of 58 °C was used as the DS. The high-temperature RO treatment was conducted at 60 °C above the LCST using the [N4444][TMBS]-based DS-lean phase after phase separation. Because the [N4444][TMBS]-based DS has a significantly temperature-dependent osmotic pressure, the DS-lean phase can be concentrated to an osmotic pressure higher than that of seawater at room temperature (20 °C). In addition, water can be effectively recovered from the DS-lean phase until the DS concentration increased to 40 wt%, and the final DS concentration reached 70 wt%. From the results, the advantages of RO treatment of the thermo-responsive DS at temperatures higher than the LCST were confirmed.

Abstract
Production of potable water or reclaimed water with higher quality are in demand to address water scarcity issues as well as to meet the expectation of stringent water quality standards. Forward osmosis (FO) provides a highly promising platform for energy-efficient membrane-based separation technology. This emerging technology has been recognized as a potential and cost-competitive alternative for many conventional wastewater treatment technologies. Motivated by its advantages over existing wastewater treatment technologies, the interest of applying FO technology for wastewater treatment has increased significantly in recent years. This article focuses on the recent developments and innovations in FO for wastewater treatment. An overview of the potential of FO in various wastewater treatment application will be first presented. The contemporary strategies used in membrane designs and fabrications as well as the efforts made to address membrane fouling are comprehensively reviewed. Finally, the challenges and future outlook of FO for wastewater treatment are highlighted.
