[PMID: 38943919 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140181] [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: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
Liposomes (LIP) loaded with natural active ingredients have significant potential in the food industry. However, their low loading efficiency (LE) hampers the advancement of liposomal products. To improve the loading capacity of functional compounds, bionic oleosomes (BOLE) with a monolayer of phospholipid membranes and a glyceryl tricaprylate/caprate (GTCC) oil core have first been engineered by high-pressure homogenization. TEM revealed that the core of BOLE consists of GTCC instead of water, thereby extending the hydrophobic space. Steady-state fluorescence and active loading experiments confirmed that cholesterol (CH) detached from the phospholipid membrane and entered the oil core, where it repelled cannabidiol (CBD). Based on the extending hydrophobic space, CBD-BOLE was prepared and its LE was 3.13 times higher than CBD-LIP. The CBD-phospholipid ratio (CPR) of CBD-BOLE significantly improved at least 7.8 times. Meanwhile, the free radical scavenging activity of CBD was increased and cytotoxicity was reduced.

An endothelium membrane mimetic antithrombotic coating enables safer and longer extracorporeal membrane oxygenation application. Acta Biomater 2024; 186:185-200. [PMID: 39103136 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.07.058] [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: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024]
Abstract
Thrombosis and plasma leakage are two of the most frequent dysfunctions of polypropylene (PP) hollow fiber membrane (PPM) used in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy. In this study, a superhydrophilic endothelial membrane mimetic coating (SEMMC) was constructed on polydopamine-polyethyleneimine pre-coated surfaces of the PPM oxygenator and its ECMO circuit to explore safer and more sustainable ECMO strategy. The SEMMC is fabricated by multi-point anchoring of a phosphorylcholine and carboxyl side chained copolymer (PMPCC) and grafting of heparin (Hep) to form PMPCC-Hep interface, which endows the membrane superior hemocompatibility and anticoagulation performances. Furthermore, the modified PPM reduces protein adsorption amount to less than 30 ng/cm2. More significantly, the PMPCC-Hep coated ECMO system extends the anti-leakage and non-clotting oxygenation period to more than 15 h in anticoagulant-free animal extracorporeal circulation, much better than the bare and conventional Hep coated ECMO systems with severe clots and plasma leakage in 4 h and 8 h, respectively. This SEMMC strategy of grafting bioactive heparin onto bioinert zwitterionic copolymer interface has great potential in developing safer and longer anticoagulant-free ECMO systems. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A superhydrophilic endothelial membrane mimetic coating was constructed on surfaces of polypropylene hollow fiber membrane (PPM) oxygenator and its ECMO circuit by multi-point anchoring of a phosphorylcholine and carboxyl side chain copolymer (PMPCC) and grafting of heparin (Hep). The strong antifouling nature of the PMPCC-Hep coating resists the adsorption of plasma bio-molecules, resulting in enhanced hemocompatibility and anti-leakage ability. The grafted heparin on the zwitterionic PMPCC interface exhibits superior anticoagulation property. More significantly, the PMPCC-Hep coating achieves an extracorporeal circulation in a pig model for at least 15 h without any systemic anticoagulant. This endothelial membrane mimetic anticoagulation strategy shows great potential for the development of safer and longer anticoagulant-free ECMO systems.

Abstract
Hierarchically patterned proton-exchange membranes (PEMs) have the potential to significantly increase the specific surface area, thus improving the catalyst utilization rate and performance of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this study, we are inspired by the unique hierarchical structure of the lotus leaf and proposed a simple three-step strategy to prepare a multiscale structured PEM. Using the multilevel structure of the natural lotus leaf as the original template, and after structural imprinting, hot-pressing, and plasma-etching steps, we successfully constructed a multiscale structured PEM with a microscale pillar-like structure and a nanoscale needle-like structure. When applied in a fuel cell, the multiscale structured PEM resulted in a 1.96-fold increase in discharge performance and a significant improvement in mass transfer compared to the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) with a flat PEM. The multiscale structured PEM has the combined advantage of a nanoscale and a microscale structure, benefiting from the markedly reduced thickness, increased surface area, and improved water management inherited from the multiscale structured lotus leaf's superhydrophobic characteristic. Using a lotus leaf as a multilevel structure template avoids the complex and time-consuming preparation process required by commonly used multilevel structure templates. Moreover, the remarkable architecture of biological materials can inspire novel and innovative applications in many fields through nature's wisdom.

Abstract
Membranes have been extensively studied and applied in various fields owing to their high energy efficiency and small environmental impact. Further conferring membranes with stimuli responsiveness can allow them to dynamically tune their pore structure and/or surface properties for efficient separation performance. This review summarizes and discusses important developments and achievements in stimuli-responsive membranes. The most commonly utilized stimuli, including light, pH, temperature, ions, and electric and magnetic fields, are discussed in detail. Special attention is given to stimuli-responsive control of membrane pore structure (pore size and porosity/connectivity) and surface properties (wettability, surface topology, and surface charge), from the perspective of determining the appropriate membrane properties and microstructures. This review also focuses on strategies to prepare stimuli-responsive membranes, including blending, casting, polymerization, self-assembly, and electrospinning. Smart applications for separations are also reviewed as well as a discussion of remaining challenges and future prospects in this exciting field. This review offers critical insights for the membrane and broader materials science communities regarding the on-demand and dynamic control of membrane structures and properties. We hope that this review will inspire the design of novel stimuli-responsive membranes to promote sustainable development and make progress toward commercialization.

Abstract
With the recently growing interest in health care, hemodialysis is being performed not only to treat patients with renal disease but also to improve blood circulation. At present, filters used for hemodialysis are manufactured only in certain countries, and all other countries must rely on imports. In this study, polyethersulfone (PES), which has excellent blood compatibility, was used as the main material to develop hemodialysis membranes for hemodialysis filters, and these hemodialysis membranes were prepared by adding a hydrophilic polymer, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and varying the type of nonsolvent during the manufacturing process to improve the toxin removal rate and biocompatibility. The addition of PVP was confirmed through attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), and the structure of the membranes depending on the nonsolvent was analyzed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images. The contact angle results indicated that the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface was improved as the concentration of PVP increased. The results of the toxin filtration efficiency experiment using urea, creatinine, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) confirmed removal rates of 58.8% and 56.87%, respectively, and a protein loss of less than 8%. Also, cell viability was over 90% at the PVP concentration of 2% or higher. A preliminary study was conducted on the improvement of toxin filtration efficiency and the development potential of these hemodialysis membranes with excellent biocompatibility.

Abstract
Polymeric membranes, such as polyamide thin film composite membranes, have gained increasing popularity in wastewater treatment, seawater desalination, as well as the purification and concentration of chemicals for their high salt-rejection and water flux properties. Membrane biofouling originates from the attachment or deposition of organic macromolecules/microorganisms and leads to an increased operating pressure and shortened service life and has greatly limited the application of polymeric membranes. Over the past few years, numerous strategies and materials were developed with the aim to control membrane biofouling. In this review, the formation process, influence factors, and consequences of membrane biofouling are systematically summarized. Additionally, the specific strategies for mitigating membrane biofouling including anchoring of hydrophilic monomers, the incorporation of inorganic antimicrobial nanoparticles, coating/grafting of cationic bactericidal polymers, and the design of multifunctional material integrated multiple anti-biofouling mechanisms, are highlighted. Finally, perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in anti-biofouling polymeric membranes are shared, shedding light on the development of even better anti-biofouling materials in near future.

Abstract
Binding between protein molecules on contacting cells is essential in initiating and regulating several key biological processes. In contrast to interactions between molecules in solution, these events are restricted to the two-dimensional (2D) plane of the meeting cell surfaces. However, converting between the more commonly available binding kinetics measured in solution and the so-called 2D binding kinetics has proven a complicated task since for the latter several factors other than the protein-protein interaction per se have an impact. A few important examples of these are: protein density, membrane fluctuations, force on the bond and the use of auxiliary binding molecules. The development of model membranes, and in particular supported lipid bilayers (SLBs), has made it possible to simplify the studied contact to analyze these effects and to measure 2D binding kinetics of individual protein-protein interactions. We will in this review give an overview of, and discuss, how different SLB systems have been used for this and compare different methods to measure binding kinetics in cell-SLB contacts. Typically, the SLB is functionalized with fluorescently labelled ligands whose interaction with the corresponding receptor on a binding cell can be detected. This interaction can either be studied 1) by an accumulation of ligands in the cell-SLB contact, whose magnitude depends on the density of the proteins and binding affinity of the interaction, or 2) by tracking single ligands in the SLB, which upon interaction with a receptor result in a change of motion of the diffusing ligand. The advantages and disadvantages of other methods measuring 2D binding kinetics will also be discussed and compared to the fluorescence-based methods. Although binding kinetic measurements in cell-SLB contacts have provided novel information on how ligands interact with receptors in vivo the number of these measurements is still limited. This is influenced by the complexity of the system as well as the required experimental time. Moreover, the outcome can vary significantly between studies, highlighting the necessity for continued development of methods to study 2D binding kinetics with higher precision and ease.

Abstract
The development of hydrogel-integrated soft materials via the incorporation of therapeutic medicines into bio-compatible hydrogels, serving as host, will significantly contribute to advances in medical diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, intelligent hydrogels having the ability to respond to local environmental conditions offer a promising approach for the development of novel solutions in the biomedical field. Bioinspired intelligent hydrogels are now becoming a potentially powerful biomaterial class for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and medical device. Recent advances include bioinspired intelligent hydrogels that possess unique mechanical and optical properties as a result of their nature-inspired complex-structured design. In this review, we highlight the latest advances in intelligent bionic hydrogels, as well as strategies targeting smart response of their characteristics across multiple dimensions (such as temperature, light, pH, among others). Finally, the potential development and prospective application of mimicking the natural intelligence of multifunctional medical hydrogels are also discussed. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
The delicate structure and fantastic functions of biological membranes are the successful evolutionary results of a long-term natural selection process. Their excellent biocompatibility and biofunctionality are widely utilized to construct multifunctional biomedical materials mainly by directly camouflaging materials with single or mixed biological membranes, decorating or incorporating materials with membrane-derived vesicles (e.g., exosomes), and designing multifunctional materials with the structure/functions of biological membranes. Here, the structure-function relationship of some important biological membranes and biomimetic membranes are discussed, such as various cell membranes, extracellular vesicles, and membranes from bacteria and organelles. Selected literature examples of multifunctional biomaterials derived from biological membranes for biomedical applications, such as drug- and gene-delivery systems, tissue-repair scaffolds, bioimaging, biosensors, and biological detection, are also highlighted. These designed materials show excellent properties, such as long circulation time, disease-targeted therapy, excellent biocompatibility, and selective recognition. Finally, perspectives and challenges associated with the clinical applications of biological-membrane-derived materials are discussed.

Abstract
Freshwater demand is rising worldwide due to largely increasing population and industrialization. Latest focus is to explore the Ocean and saline effluent from industries to produce freshwater in a sustainable way via algal desalination. Current physicochemical desalination technology is not only an energy-intensive and expensive process but also gives severe environmental impact from brine and GHGs emissions. Therefore, it is neither environmentally-friendly nor feasible to countries with limited resources. Biodesalination could be an attractive technology with recent breakthroughs in algal bioprocess with fast growth rate under highly saline conditions to effectively remove salts optimally 50-67% from saline water. Algal desalination mainly occurs through biosorption and bioaccumulation which governs by biotic and abiotic factors e.g., strain, temperature, pH, light and nutrients etc. This review provides a current scenario of this novel technology by an in-depth assessment of technological advancement, social impact, possible risks and scope for policy implications.

Abstract
It is of great importance and practical value to develop a facile and operable surface treatment method of materials with excellent antipollution and antiadhesion property, but still a huge challenge. In this work, a series of pseudo-zwitterions are prepared from electrostatic assembly of cationic polyethyleneimine and anionic phosphonic clusters. These pseudo-zwitterionic assemblies provide a strong hydration through electrostatic interaction with water and in turn create a barrier against oil foulants, leading to a nearly zero crude oil adhesion force. The pseudo-zwitterions-decorated surfaces exhibit exceptional water-cleanable oil-repellent property, even when they are completely dried and without prehydration before fouled by crude oil. While using these pseudo-zwitterions-modified polymeric membranes for separating surfactant stabilized oil-in-water emulsion, less than 10% decline of permeating flux is observed throughout a 2-h continuous separation experiment, showing excellent emulsion separation ability and antipollution performance for high viscous oil. The ion pairs called pseudo-zwitterions were constructed by electrostatic self-assembly The pseudo-zwitterions-modified surfaces can repel crude oil without prehydration Pseudo-zwitterionic membrane shows exceptional antioil fouling performance The strategy gives a new way to endow the surfaces with excellent antiadhesion property

Abstract
Biofilm formation on the surface of materials has brought great troubles to various industries. Designing surfaces with long-lasting antibiofouling properties can help restrain primary bacterial and protein attachment and subsequent biofilm formation for a long time, which is also of great significance for industrial applications. In this work, we successfully prepared fluorinated carbon nanotubes through a one-step fluorination method using fluorosilane and fabricated a superamphiphobic coating using a simple spray method. This coating with ultralow surface free energy and stable micro/nano structures achieved highly efficient and long-term underwater antibiofouling properties. Tea, milk, BSA, and bacterial solution can bounce highly on this surface without wetting the surface in air. The long-term existence of the underwater air-bubble layer on the surface of the superamphiphobic coating was observed. Thus, this surface can effectively resist BSA and bacterial attachment (E. coli), and the efficiency, respectively, reaches 97.5 and 98.2%. Even if it is fully soaked in BSA and BS solution for 120 h, the whole surface is still able to repel water, BSA, and BS solution very well. In addition, the coating possessed excellent wear resistance, the CAs of BSA and BS solution just decreased slightly (higher than 158°), and the sliding angles increased slightly (lower than 4°) after 50 tape abrasion cycles. Therefore, this superamphiphobic coating may have promising applications for marine devices, biomedical materials, protective clothing, and chemical shielding.

Abstract
Design of efficient enzyme carriers, where enzymes are conjugated to supports, has become an attractive research avenue. Immobilized enzymes are advantageous for practical applications because of their convenience in handling, ease of separation, and good reusability. However, the main challenge is that these traditional enzyme carriers are unable to regulate the enzymolysis efficiency or to protect the enzymes from proteolytic degradation, which restricts their effectiveness of enzymes in bioapplications. Enlightened by the stimuli-responsive channels in the natural cell membranes, conjugation of the enzymes within flat-sheet stimuli-responsive porous polymer membranes (SR-PPMs) as artificial cell membranes is an efficient strategy for circumventing this challenge. Controlled by the external stimuli, the multifunctional polymer chains, which are incorporated within the membranes and attached to the enzyme, change their structures to defend the enzyme from the external environmental disturbances and degradation by proteinases. Specifically, smart SR-PPM enzyme carriers (SR-PPMECs) not only permit convective substrate transfer through the accessible porous network, dramatically improving enzymolysis efficiency due to the adjustable pore sizes and the confinement effect, but they also act as molecular switches for regulating its permeability and selectivity. In this review, the concept of SR-PPMECs is presented. It covers the latest developments in design strategies of flat-sheet SR-PPFMs, fabrication protocols of SR-PPFMECs, strategies for the regulation of enzymolysis efficiency, and their cutting-edge bioapplications.

Abstract
The development of bioresponsive interfaces that can induce a beneficial impact on cell mechanisms, such as adhesion, proliferation, migration and differentiation are of utmost relevance in Tissue engineering (TE) approaches. The surface topography is a captivating property that contribute to interesting cell responses, being inspired by several cues found in nature. Therefore, the study herein presented reports the fabrication of a surface topography using the Rubus fruticosus leaf on spin casting polycaprolactone (PCL) membranes. The topography was replicated by replica molding rapid fabrication technique and nanoimprint lithography (NIL). The biomimetic patterned PCL membranes (bpM) were successfully produced revealing high detail due to the complexity of the leaf's surface ranging from the stroma structures to nerves structures. The thermal evaluation revealed a slight increase of crystallinity of the bpM compared with the other tested conditions. However, did not induce significant effects on the melting and recrystallization temperatures. The mechanical properties revealed that the young modulus increase from 3.2 MPa to 4.4 MPa during the imprinting process. However, bpM presents a lowest elongation capacity than bare membrane (bM) (1076 to 444 %, respectively) due to the heterogeneous thickness induced by the topography. The selected topography revealed to promote a positive bioresponse, depicted by the improvement of the cellular behaviour and different organization. This promising strategy revealed that circumventing the traditional topographies by nature mimetic topographies is fundamental for the development of innovative bioresponsive substrates that can tune cellular behaviour in TE strategies.

Abstract
Carbonate apatite/hydroxyapatite (CO3Ap/HAP) additive was obtained by calcination of wasted chicken bones at 900°C. Intermolecular attraction exists between CO3Ap/HAP additive and blended polysulfone (PSF) polymer. Electron dispersive X-ray (EDX) and FTIR analysis were carried out to check the elemental composition and bonding chemistry of prepared additive. The instantaneous demixing process generated consistent finger-like networks in CO3Ap/HAP/PSF-based composite membranes while sponge-like structure was shown by PSF as revealed by SEM images. The increase in weight % of additive loading is also confirmed by EDX analysis. Furthermore, the interaction mechanism of CO3Ap/HAP additive with polysulfone medium was analyzed by FTIR exploration. The water absorption experiment defined a 93% expansion in hydrophilic performance. Change in porosity occurs with additive loading and pure water permeation flux improved up to 11 times. Approximately, antifouling results revealed that 87% of water flux was recovered after treating with a protein solution, whereas a 30% improvement in antifouling capability in case of bovine serum albumin solution occurred. In vitro cytotoxicity, and clotting times study was carried out to evaluate virulent behavior and anticoagulation activity of formulated membranes.

Abstract
Membranes fabricated from self-assembled materials are one recent example of how polymer science has been leveraged to advance membrane technology. Due to their well-defined nanostructures, the performance of membranes made from these materials is pushing the boundaries of size-selective filtration. Still, there remains a need for higher performance and more selective membranes. The advent of functional membrane platforms that rely on mechanisms beyond steric hindrance (e.g., charge-selective membranes and membrane sorbents) is one approach to realize improved solute-solute selectivity and further advance membrane technology. To date, the lab-scale demonstration of these platforms has often relied on fabrication schemes that require extended processing times. However, in order to translate lab-scale demonstrations to larger-scale implementation, it is critical that the rate of the functionalization scheme is reconciled with membrane manufacturing rates. In this viewpoint, it is postulated that substrates lined by reactive moieties that are amenable to postfabrication modification would enable the production of membranes with controlled nanostructures while providing access to a diverse array of pore wall chemistries. A comparison of reaction and manufacturing rates suggests that mechanisms that exhibit second-order reaction rate constants of at least 1 M-1 s-1 are needed for roll-to-roll processing. Furthermore, for mechanisms that exhibit rate constants greater than 300 M-1 s-1, it may be possible to integrate multiple functional domains over the membrane surface such that useful properties emerge. These multifunctional systems can expand the capabilities of membranes when the patterned chemistries interact at the heterojunctions between domains (e.g., Janus and charge-patterned mosaic membranes) or if they exhibit cooperative responses to external operating conditions (e.g., membrane pumps).

Abstract
Generating a biofunctional film that can mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) in an efficient and robust technique that may have great potential for medical devices, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicines. Herein, a facile approach to generate ECM biomimetic films based on the humidity-triggered relaxation of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) nanoparticles is reported. The poly(l-lysine) and hyaluronan are precomplexed and sprayed onto a substrate, which, via a trigger of vaporous water, can be transformed into an even and stable film. The spontaneous polymer chain interfusion (diffusion coefficient ≈1.01 × 10-9 cm2 s-1 ) under saturated humidity, allowing for the rapid reorganization (within 30 min) of film morphology and structure is demonstrated. A controllable and scalable way for the loading of diversified bioactive agents, as well as on-demand modulation of stiffness is further presented. Moreover, the high-throughput arrays and programmed patterns can be easily completed, suggesting huge potentials that surpass those of state-of-the-art methods. Combined with high efficiency and flexible functionalization, it is believed that this approach should be beneficial for extending the practical applications of PEC films, such as medical implants, chip detectors, and so on.

Abstract
Medical device-associated infections are becoming a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, prompting researchers to find new, more effective ways to control the bacterial colonisation of surfaces and biofilm development. Bacteria in biofilms exhibit a set of "emergent properties", meaning those properties that are not predictable from the study of free-living bacterial cells. The social coordinated behaviour in the biofilm lifestyle involves intricate signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms underlying the gain in resistance and tolerance (recalcitrance) towards antimicrobial agents as compared to free-floating bacteria. Nanotechnology provides powerful tools to disrupt the processes responsible for recalcitrance development in all stages of the biofilm life cycle. The present paper is a state-of-the-art review of the surface nanoengineering strategies currently used to design antibiofilm coatings. The review is structurally organised in two parts according to the targeted biofilm life cycle stages and molecular mechanisms intervening in recalcitrance development. Therefore, in the present first part, we begin with a presentation of the current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms responsible for increased recalcitrance that have to be disrupted. Further, we deal with passive surface nanoengineering strategies that aim to prevent bacterial cells from settling onto a biotic or abiotic surface. Both "fouling-resistant" and "fouling release" strategies are addressed as well as their synergic combination in a single unique nanoplatform.

Although various filtration materials with (super)wetting properties have been fabricated for effective oil/water separation, eco-friendly and low-cost materials are still highly desired. This work details the facile preparation of efficient oil–water separation papers with superhydrophobic properties that successfully combine micro/nanoscale hierarchical particles and low surface energy components with porous substrates. The superhydrophilic papers were coated with a polydopamine layer and then immersed in the mixture of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and hydrophobic-silica nanoparticles. The resultant paper can separate oil–water mixtures under gravity driving conditions, where heavy oil penetrates through the sample and water is collected on the surface. And the as-prepared sample had favorable separation efficiency (>99%). More importantly, the oil flux almost remained at the original value after 10 cycles, indicating excellent recyclability. In addition, the as-prepared paper exhibits good stability in acidic, alkaline and salty media. Although various filtration materials with (super)wetting properties have been fabricated for effective oil/water separation, eco-friendly and low-cost materials are still highly desired.![]()

Abstract
Due to the increasing need from the membrane technologies for diverse applications, development of new generation of materials with electroactive properties and significant impact on the future technological systems was imposed. An innovative way of designing the membrane materials with long-term stable hydrophilicity, enhanced workability, porosity, and good biocompatibility, has been adopted by blending of quaternized polysulfone (PSFQ) with a cellulose derivative (cellulose acetate phthalate, CAP). Moreover, the quaternization effect has significantly improved the electrical performances, in terms of the ionic conductivity, electron interactions, and dielectric properties, required by target applications, i.e., ionic-exchange membranes, IEMs. Results derived from dielectric spectroscopy confirm the enhanced dielectric quality, reflected by a low dielectric constant and dielectric loss at high frequency. Additionally, the relationship between the resulted dielectric properties and response at the blood-biomaterial interface, have confirmed their excellent performance, constituting the preliminary basis for future tests concerning their functionality as IEMs in hemodialysis.

Abstract
A simple and effective strategy to simultaneously enhance the permeability and antifouling properties of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVAL) membrane was developed based on the bioinspired natural cleaner, cilia. Taking clue from the self-cleaning effect of cilia, supramolecular polyrotaxanes (PRs) with sliding and rotating cyclic molecules along linear chains were synthesized using azide-alkyne click chemistry. Cilia-like PRs were incorporated into EVAL matrix in the fabrication of modified EVAL membranes. Cilia-like structures protruding from the membrane surface have been observed by SEM, TEM and AFM. By imitating natural ciliary movements, these structures provided a proactive self-cleaning system to remove the foulants. The introduction of cilia-like PRs enhanced the surface roughness and hydrophilicity, and significantly enhanced permeability by 55.3% compared to raw EVAL membrane. Moreover, the membrane modified with cilia-like PRs showed an excellent antifouling property with a lower water flux decline (12.6%) and higher water flux recovery (94%) in dynamic fouling tests. Furthermore, this modified membrane develops the scope of bioinspired membranes, inspiring more attractive potential applications in self-cleaning materials, dynamic membranes and supramolecular machines.

Abstract
Poly(dimethylsiloxane)-block-methoxypolyethylene glycols (PDMS-b-mPEG) were synthesized by Steglich esterification. The high-permeable membrane (PSf/PDMS-b-mPEG) was prepared by using PDMS-b-mPEG as additives. The successful synthesis of PDMS-b-mPEG was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images show that the distribution of finger-like macroporous and sponge-like macroporous can be modulated by controlling the ratio of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic components of additives. The distribution of additives and membrane wettability are validated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and water contact angle test. The permeability of the blended membrane, especially for the membrane PSf/PDMS-b-mPEG1900 (M3), was remarkably improved. The water permeability of M3 (239.4 L/m2·h·bar) was 6.6 times that of the unblended membrane M0 (42.5 L/m2·h·bar). The findings of protein BSA filtration show that the flux recovery ratio of M3 is 89.2% at a BSA retention rate of about 80%, which demonstrates that the polysulfone membranes blended with PDMS-b-mPEG have excellent antifouling performance and extraordinary permeability.

Abstract
Medical coatings cooperated with biomacromolecules can regulate biological events and tissue responses, thus increasing medical implant longevity and providing improved and/or new therapeutic functions. In particular, medical coatings, which can load the correct species and doses of biomacromolecules according to individual diagnoses, will significantly optimize treatment effects and satisfy the rising clinical need of "precision medicine". Herein, we report on a dynamic microporous coating with an ultrafast self-healing property to fulfill the "load-and-play" concept for "precision medicine". A structure-switchable coating based on poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) triblock copolymer network is constructed. The coating can be switched to microporous morphology via a water swelling and freeze-drying process. Then, through a mild thermo-trigger as low as 40 °C, this spongy coating can undergo self-healing to switch back to a pore-free structure within minutes to even 5 s. Based on this dynamic coating, we suggest a simple and versatile method to encapsulate biomacromolecules for surface-mediated delivery. The ultrafast self-healing of the microporous structure enables uniform incorporation of biomacromolecules with an easily achieved high loading of albumin of 16.3 μg/cm2 within 1 min. More importantly, controllable encapsulation can be realized by simple control of the concentration of the loading solution. We further demonstrate that the encapsulated biomacromolecules retained their bioactivity. This work may benefit clinicians with flexibility to provide personalized medical coatings for individual patients during treatment.

Abstract
Poly-(lactide-co-glycolide acid) (PLGA) has been widely investigated as scaffold material for bone tissue engineering owing to its biosafety, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. However, the bioinert surface of PLGA may fail in regulating cellular behavior and directing osteointegration between the scaffold and the host tissue. In this article, oxidized chondroitin sulfate (oCS) and type I collagen (Col I) were assembled onto PLGA surface via layer by layer technique (LbL) as an adhesive coating for the attachment of inorganic minerals. The multilayer-modified PLGA scaffold was mineralized in vitro to ensure the deposition of nanohydroxyapatite (nHAP). It was found that nHAP crystals were more uniformly and firmly attached on the multilayer-modified PLGA as compared with the pure PLGA scaffold, which remarkably improved PLGA surface and mechanical properties. Additionally, in vitro biocompatibility of PLGA scaffold, in terms of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) attachment, spreading and proliferation was greatly enhanced by nHAP coating and multilayer deposition. Furthermore, the fabricated composite scaffold also shows the ability to promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through the up-regulation of osteogenic marker genes. Thus, this novel biomimetic composite scaffold might achieve a desirable therapeutic result for bone tissue regeneration. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
This work calls for a paradigm shift in order to change the operational patterns of self-regulated membranes in response to chemical signals. To this end, the fabrication of a retrofitting material is introduced aimed at developing an innovative generation of porous substrates endowed with symbiotic but fully independent sensing and actuating capabilities. This is accomplished by transferring carefully engineered plasmonic architectures onto commercial microfiltration membranes lacking of such features. The integration of these materials leads to the formation of a coating surface proficient for ultrasensitive detection and "on-command" gating. Both functionalities can be synergistically modulated by the spatial and temporal distribution of an impinging light beam offering an unprecedented control over the membrane performance in terms of permeability. The implementation of these hybrid nanocomposites in conventional polymeric porous materials holds great potential in applications ranging from intelligent fluid management to advanced filtration technologies and controlled release.
