Abstract
Tissue-engineered skin grafts have long been considered to be the most effective treatment for large skin defects. Especially with the advent of 3D printing technology, the manufacture of artificial skin scaffold with complex shape and structure is becoming more convenient. However, the matrix material used as the bio-ink for 3D printing artificial skin is still a challenge. To address this issue, sodium alginate (SA)/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) blend hydrogel was proposed to be the bio-ink for artificial skin fabrication, and SA/CMC-Na (SC) composite hydrogels at different compositions were investigated in terms of morphology, thermal properties, mechanical properties, and biological properties, so as to screen out the optimal composition ratio of SC for 3D printing artificial skin. Moreover, the designed SC composite hydrogel skin membranes were used for rabbit wound defeat repairing to evaluate the repair effect. Results show that SC4:1 blend hydrogel possesses the best mechanical properties, good moisturizing ability, proper degradation rate, and good biocompatibility, which is most suitable for 3D printing artificial skin. This research provides a process guidance for the design and fabrication of SA/CMC-Na composite artificial skin.

Abstract
In this work, amino-functionalized nano-SiO2 (m@g-SiO2) was synthesized through coupling reaction on the surface of nano-SiO2. Moreover, the optimum preparation conditions of m@g-SiO2 were selected via orthogonal experiments as follows: reaction temperature of 80 °C, reaction time of 8 h, the mass ratio of stearic acid, N,N'‑carbonyldiimidazole, imidazole hydrochloride and g-SiO2 of 0.5:0.7:0.7:1. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, static angle measurement and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy unanimously confirmed the formation of m@g-SiO2. Furthermore, poly(lactic acid)(PLA)/m@g-SiO2 nanocomposites was prepared with m@g-SiO2 as fillers to improve the comprehensive performance of PLA. Then, the mechanical properties and crystallization behavior of PLA/m@g-SiO2 nanocomposites were studied, which showed that the impact strength and elongation-at-break of PLA/m@g-SiO2 (0.3 wt%) nanocomposites were increased by 78.05% and 1148%, respectively, and its crystallinity was increased by 26.46%. Simultaneously, thermal gravimetric analysis indicated that the thermal stability of PLA/m@g-SiO2 nanocomposites was improved. Eventually, the multi-scale investigation on the phase miscibility of PLA/m@g-SiO2 nanocomposites was probed by rheological behaviors analysis and the molecular dynamics simulations, which confirmed that surface modification of SiO2 greatly enhanced the interaction energy and miscibility between the filler and PLA bulk.

Abstract
Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) based on their different derivatives were proposed as antioxidant and antimicrobial additives for active bioplastic packaging. Chitosan was modified with polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA), stearyl methacrylate (SMA) and deoxycholic acid (DC) using radiation-induced graft polymerization and chemical conjugation. The modified CSNPs-g-pPEGMA, CSNPs-g-pSMA and CSNPs-DC self-assembled into nanoparticles with the size in the range of 25-60 nm. The CSNPs-DC derivative has superior antioxidant activity and the CSNPs-g-pSMA derivative exhibited outstanding antibacterial activity against growth of E.coli (95.33 %). All modified CSNPs showed their capacities to inhibit S.aureus bacterial growth (>98 %). PLA packaging films containing CSNPs-g-pSMA inhibited the growth of natural microorganism on bread slices. Different chemical functions of the CSNPs derivatives provided different gas permeability and mechanical properties of the PLA films. The CSNPs derivatives would be promising antioxidant and antimicrobial additives for bioplastics to be further used as bio-based active food packaging.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed surging demand for bone repair/regeneration implants due to the increasing number of bone defects caused by trauma, cancer, infection, and arthritis worldwide. In addition to bone autografts and allografts, biomaterial substitutes have been widely used in clinical practice. Personalized implants with precise and personalized control of shape, porosity, composition, surface chemistry, and mechanical properties will greatly facilitate the regeneration of bone tissue and satiate the clinical needs. Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, also known as 3D printing, are drawing fast growing attention in the fabrication of implants or scaffolding materials due to their capability of manufacturing complex and irregularly shaped scaffolds in repairing bone defects in clinical practice. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the development of materials and techniques used in the additive manufacturing of bone scaffolds. In addition, clinical application, pre-clinical trials and future prospects of AM based bone implants are also summarized and discussed.

Abstract
In the last decade, the interest toward the formulation of polymer films for cultural heritage protection continuously grew, and these films must be imperatively transparent, removable, and should not react/interact with surface of the artworks. In this research, bionanocomposite films, based on chitosan (Ch) and pectin (P) and containing naturally occurring fillers and antioxidants, were formulated by solvent casting methods and were accurately characterized. The natural halloysite nanotubes (HNT) have a two-fold role, specifically, physical compatibilizer and antioxidant carrier. Therefore, the theoretical solubility between Ch and P was estimated considering Hoy’s method for solubility of polymers, while the optimum ratio between biopolymer constituents was assessed by ζ-potential measurements. The transparency, wettability, and mechanical behavior of Ch:P films, also in presence of HNT without and with antioxidants, were investigated. The beneficial effects of natural antioxidants, such as vanillic acid (VA) and quercetin (Q), on Ch:P/HNT durability were found.
