Abstract
Wrinkled coatings are a potential drug-free method for mitigating bacterial attachment and biofilm formation on materials such as medical and food grade steel. However, their fabrication typically requires multiple steps and often the use of a stimulus to induce wrinkle formation. Here, we report a facile plasma-based method for rapid fabrication of thin (<250 nm) polymer coatings from a single environmentally friendly precursor, where wrinkle formation and fractal pattern development are controlled solely by varying the deposition time from 3 s to 60 s. We propose a mechanism behind the observed in situ development of wrinkles in plasma, as well as demonstrate how introducing specific topographical features on the surface of the substrata can result int the formation of even more complex, ordered wrinkle patterns arising from the non-uniformity of plasma when in contact with structured surfaces. Thus-fabricated wrinkled surfaces show good adhesion to substrate and an antifouling activity that is not observed in the equivalent smooth coatings and hence is attributed to the specific pattern of wrinkles.

Abstract
The preparation of polysaccharide-peptide hydrogels usually involves multiple synthetic steps, thus reducing the effectiveness and practicality of these approaches. Inspired by recent discoveries in aqueous N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and ring-opening polymerization-induced nanogelation, we present an aqueous one-pot strategy to prepare polysaccharide-polypeptide hydrogels. In this study, water-soluble polysaccharide carboxymethyl chitosan is used as the macromolecular initiator to prepare polysaccharide-polypeptide copolymers through the aqueous ROP of NCA. The catalyst-free approach afforded hydrogels with properties that could be controlled by adjusting the type and amount of NCA used, with the elastic modulus ranging from 50 Pa to 18000 Pa. The hydrogen bond-cross-linked hydrogel exhibited self-healing and injectable properties. Morphology characterization revealed that micelles were formed in the early stage of reaction, suggesting that the polymerization follows an aqueous ring-opening polymerization-induced self-assembly (ROPISA) mechanism and that aggregation of micelles during the reaction caused the gelation. Moreover, the hydrogels displayed high swelling ratios (>95% water content), and hemolysis and cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated that the hydrogels had excellent biocompatibility, indicating their potential in medical applications.

Abstract
Slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS), inspired by the Nepenthes pitcher plant, exhibits excellent performances as it has a smooth surface and extremely low contact angle hysteresis. Biomimetic SLIPS attracts considerable attention from the researchers for different applications in self-cleaning, anti-icing, anticorrosion, antibacteria, antithrombotic, and other fields. Hence, SLIPS has shown promise for applications across both the biomedical and industrial fields. However, the manufacturing of SLIPS with strong bonding ability to different substrates and powerful liquid locking performance remains highly challenging. In this review, a comprehensive overview of research on SLIPS for medical applications is conducted, and the design parameters and common fabrication methods of such surfaces are summarized. The discussion extends to the mechanisms of interaction between microbes, cells, proteins, and the liquid layer, highlighting the typical antifouling applications of SLIPS. Furthermore, it identifies the potential of utilizing the controllable factors provided by SLIPS to develop innovative materials and devices aimed at enhancing human health.

Abstract
Despite the advances in technology, bacterial infection associated with biomedical devices is still one of the most challenging issues in clinical practice. Incorporation of antimicrobial agents is regarded as an efficient way to combat medical device associated infectious. However, most of antimicrobial agents have high toxicity to host cells. Thus, fabrication of novel antimicrobial agents that simultaneously fulfill the requirements of antibacterial activity as well as biocompatibility is urgently needed. Herein, a series of water-insoluble antibacterial complexes based on hyperbranched poly-L-lysine (HBPL) and four different surfactants through non-covalent interactions are developed. Such kinds of surfactants have great effects on the antibacterial property of poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) films that incorporate with the HBPL-based complexes. The results reveal that the PCL films that doped with HBPL/phosphate ester surfactant complexes showed the highest bacterial killing efficiency. Moreover, the cytocompatibility of the composite films is also investigated. Hemolysis experiments indicate that all the films had low hemolytic activities. Considering the excellent antimicrobial and cytocompatibility properties, this work believes that the optimized complexes have great potential to be used as antimicrobial agents in biomedical field.

Comparison of Superhydrophilic, Liquid-Like, Liquid-Infused, and Superhydrophobic Surfaces in Preventing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection and Encrustation. ACS Biomater Sci Eng 2024; 10:1162-1172.

Abstract
Over the past decade, superhydrophilic zwitterionic surfaces, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces, covalently attached liquid-like surfaces, and superhydrophobic surfaces have emerged as the most promising strategies to prevent biofouling on biomedical devices. Despite working through different mechanisms, they have demonstrated superior efficacy in preventing the adhesion of biomolecules (e.g., proteins and bacteria) compared with conventional material surfaces. However, their potential in combating catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) remains uncertain. In this research, we present the fabrication of these four coatings for urinary catheters and conduct a comparative assessment of their antifouling properties through a stepwise approach. Notably, the superhydrophilic zwitterionic coating demonstrated the highest antifouling activity, reducing 72.3% of fibrinogen deposition and over 75% of bacterial adhesion (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) when compared with an uncoated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) surface. The zwitterionic coating also exhibited robust repellence against blood and improved surface lubricity, decreasing the dynamic coefficient of friction from 0.63 to 0.35 as compared with the PVC surface. Despite the fact that the superhydrophilic zwitterionic and hydrophobic liquid-like surfaces showed great promise in retarding crystalline biofilm formation in the presence of Proteus mirabilis, it is worth noting that their long-term antifouling efficacy may be compromised by the proliferation and migration of colonized bacteria as they are unable to kill them or inhibit their swarming. These findings underscore both the potential and limitations of these ultralow fouling materials as urinary catheter coatings for preventing CAUTI.

Abstract
Tethered-liquid perfluorocarbons (TLPs) are a class of liquid-infused surfaces with the ability to reduce blood clot formation (thrombosis) on blood-contacting medical devices. TLP comprises a tethered perfluorocarbon (TP) infused with a liquid perfluorocarbon (LP); this LP must be retained to maintain the antithrombotic properties of the layer. However, the stability of the LP layer remains in question, particularly for medical devices under blood flow. In this study, the lubricant thickness is spatially mapped and quantified in situ through confocal dual-wavelength reflection interference contrast microscopy. TLP coatings prepared on glass substrates are exposed to the flow of 37% glycerol/water mixtures (v/v) or whole blood at a shear strain rate of around 2900 s-1 to mimic physiological conditions (similar to flow conditions found in coronary arteries). Excess lubricant (>2 μm film thickness) is removed upon commencement of flow. For untreated glass, the lubricant is completely depleted after 1 min of shear flow. However, on optimized TLP surfaces, nanoscale films of lubricants (thickness between 100 nm and 2 μm) are retained over many tens of minutes of flow. The nanoscale films conform to the underlying structure of the TP layer and are sufficient to prevent the adhesion of red blood cells and platelets.

Abstract
The undesirable, yet inevitable, presence of bacterial biofilms in spacecraft poses a risk to the proper functioning of systems and to astronauts' health. To mitigate the risks that arise from them, it is important to understand biofilms' behavior in microgravity. As part of the Space Biofilms project, biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were grown in spaceflight over material surfaces. Stainless Steel 316 (SS316) and passivated SS316 were tested for their relevance as spaceflight hardware components, while a lubricant impregnated surface (LIS) was tested as potential biofilm control strategy. The morphology and gene expression of biofilms were characterized. Biofilms in microgravity are less robust than on Earth. LIS strongly inhibits biofilm formation compared to SS. Furthermore, this effect is even greater in spaceflight than on Earth, making LIS a promising option for spacecraft use. Transcriptomic profiles for the different conditions are presented, and potential mechanisms of biofilm reduction on LIS are discussed.

Abstract
Bioinspired slippery surfaces (BSSs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their antifouling, drag reduction, and self-cleaning properties. Accordingly, various technical terms have been proposed for describing BSSs based on specific surface characteristics. However, the terminology can often be confusing, with similar-sounding terms having different meanings. Additionally, some terms fail to fully or accurately describe BSS characteristics, such as the surface wettability of lubricants (hydrophilic or hydrophobic), surface wettability anisotropy (anisotropic or isotropic), and substrate morphology (porous or smooth). Therefore, a timely and thorough review is required to clarify and distinguish the various terms used in BSS literature. This review initially categorizes BSSs into four types: slippery solid surfaces (SSSs), slippery liquid-infused surfaces (SLISs), slippery liquid-like surfaces (SLLSs), and slippery liquid-solid surfaces (SLSSs). Because SLISs have been the primary research focus in this field, we thoroughly review their design and fabrication principles, which can also be applied to the other three types of BSS. Furthermore, we discuss the existing BSS fabrication methods, smart BSS systems, antifouling applications, limitations of BSS, and future research directions. By providing comprehensive and accurate definitions of various BSS types, this review aims to assist researchers in conveying their results more clearly and gaining a better understanding of the literature.

Abstract
Biomedical devices are prone to blood clot formation (thrombosis), and liquid-infused surfaces (LIS) are effective in reducing the thrombotic response. However, the mechanisms that underpin this performance, and in particular the role of the lubricant, are not well understood. In this work, it is investigated whether the mechanism of LIS action is related to i) inhibition of factor XII (FXII) activation and the contact pathway; ii) reduced fibrin density of clots formed on surfaces; iii) increased mobility of proteins or cells on the surface due to the interfacial flow of the lubricant. The chosen LIS is covalently tethered, nanostructured layers of perfluorocarbons, infused with thin films of medical-grade perfluorodecalin (tethered-liquid perfluorocarbon), prepared with chemical vapor deposition previously optimized to retain lubricant under flow. Results show that in the absence of external flow, interfacial mobility is inherently higher at the liquid-blood interface, making it a key contributor to the low thrombogenicity of LIS, as FXII activity and fibrin density are equivalent at the interface. The findings of this study advance the understanding of the anti-thrombotic behavior of LIS-coated biomedical devices for future coating design. More broadly, enhanced interfacial mobility may be an important, underexplored mechanism for the anti-fouling behavior of surface coatings.

Abstract
When blood first encounters the artificial surface of a medical device, a complex series of biochemical reactions is triggered, potentially resulting in clinical complications such as embolism/occlusion, inflammation, or device failure. Preventing thrombus formation on the surface of blood-contacting devices is crucial for maintaining device functionality and patient safety. As the number of patients reliant on blood-contacting devices continues to grow, minimizing the risk associated with these devices is vital towards lowering healthcare-associated morbidity and mortality. The current standard clinical practice primarily requires the systemic administration of anticoagulants such as heparin, which can result in serious complications such as post-operative bleeding and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Due to these complications, the administration of antithrombotic agents remains one of the leading causes of clinical drug-related deaths. To reduce the side effects spurred by systemic anticoagulation, researchers have been inspired by the hemocompatibility exhibited by natural phenomena, and thus have begun developing medical-grade surfaces which aim to exhibit total hemocompatibility via biomimicry. This review paper aims to address different bio-inspired surface modifications that increase hemocompatibility, discuss the limitations of each method, and explore the future direction for hemocompatible surface research.

Abstract
Nature always inspires us to develop advanced materials for diverse applications. The liquid-infused surface (LIS) inspired by Nepenthes pitcher plants has aroused broad interest in fabricating anti-biofouling materials over the past decade. The infused liquid layer on the solid substrate repels immiscible fluids and displays ultralow adhesion to various biomolecules. Due to these fascinating features, bioinspired LIS has been applied in biomedical-related fields. Here, we review the recent progress of LIS in bioengineering, medical devices, and biosensing, and highlight how the infused liquid layer affects the performance of medical materials. The prospects for the future trend of LIS are also presented.

LANGMUIR : THE ACS JOURNAL OF SURFACES AND COLLOIDS 2022; 38:11392-11405. [PMID: 36069741 PMCID: PMC9494739 DOI: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.2c01671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Revised: 08/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Endoscopes are ubiquitous in minimally invasive or keyhole surgeries globally. However, frequent removal of endoscopes from the patient's body due to the lens contaminations results in undesirable consequences. Therefore, a cost-effective process chain to fabricate thermoplastic-based endoscope lenses with superior antifouling and optical properties is proposed in this research. Such multifunctional surface response was achieved by lubricant impregnation of nanostructures. Two types of topographies were produced by femtosecond laser processing of metallic molds, especially to produce single-tier laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) and two-tier multiscale structures (MS). Then, these two LIPSS and MS masters were used to replicate them onto two thermoplastic substrates, namely polycarbonate and cyclic olefin copolymer, by using hot embossing. Finally, the LIPSS and MS surfaces of the replicas were infiltrated by silicone oils to prepare lubricant-impregnated surfaces (LIS). Droplet sliding tests revealed that the durability of the as-prepared LIS improved with the increase of the lubricant viscosity. Moreover, the single-tier LIPSS replicas exhibited longer-lasting lubricant conservation properties than the MS ones. Also, LIPSS-LIS replicas demonstrated an excellent optical transparency, better than the MS-LIS ones, and almost match the performance of the reference polished ones. Furthermore, the LIPSS-LIS treatment led to superior antifouling characteristics, i.e., regarding fogging, blood adhesion, protein adsorption, and microalgae attachment, and thus demonstrated its high suitability for treating endoscopic lenses. Finally, a proof-of-concept LIPSS-LIS treatment of endoscope lenses was conducted that confirmed their superior multifunctional response.

Abstract
The superhydrophobic surfaces inspired by the lotus have excellent performances and are known for their low contact angle hysteresis and smooth surfaces. However, there are still some problems, such as the unstable structure, poor durability, high product cost and so on that need to be improved. Those issues can be avoided via liquid-infused surfaces(LIS), which are inspired by Nepenthes and consist of a mico-nano structured substrate and a smooth continuous atomic-grade lubricant. Compared with superhydrophobic surfaces, LIS not only achieves the same hydrophobic properties but also has smaller contact angle hysteresis, smoother surface, more stable structure and lower preparation cost. Although the existence of a lubricant layer improves the performance of the material, it also leaves a hidden danger, which is easy to lose and leads to the deterioration of the durability of the material. Therefore, the lubricant-free slipper materials have attracted more and more attention in recent years due to their low volatility, good durability and excellent lubrication performance. In this review, the types of LIS lubricants and their physicochemical properties were summarized at the beginning and then the applications of LIS in various fields were introduced. At the end of this paper, some solid lubricants and their applications were described, and the future development prospects of LIS lubricants also were expected.

Abstract
Antibacterial surfaces are surfaces that can resist bacteria, relying on the nature of the material itself. It is significant for safe food and water, human health, and industrial equipment. Biofilm is the main form of bacterial contamination on the material surface. Preventing the formation of biofilm is an efficient way to develop antibacterial surfaces. The strategy for constructing the antibacterial surface is divided into bacteria repelling and bacteria killing based on the formation of the biofilm. Material surface wettability, adhesion, and steric hindrance determine bacteria repelling performance. Bacteria should be killed by surface chemistry or physical structures when they are attached to a material surface irreversibly. Killing approaches are usually in the light of the cell membrane of bacteria. This review summarizes the fabrication methods and applications of antibacterial surfaces from the view of the treatment of the material surfaces. We also present several crucial points for developing long-term stability, no drug resistance, broad-spectrum, and even programable antibacterial surfaces.

Abstract
We report a layer-by-layer suction-and-flow approach that enables the fabrication of polymer-based "slippery" liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) in the confined luminal spaces of flexible, narrow-bore tubing. These SLIPS-coated tubes can prevent or strongly reduce surface fouling after prolonged contact, storage, or flow of a broad range of complex fluids and viscoelastic materials, including many that are relevant in the contexts of medical devices (e.g., blood and urine), food processing (beverages and fluids), and other commercial and industrial applications. The robust and mechanically compliant nature of the nanoporous coating used to host the lubricating oil phase allows these coated tubes to be bent, flexed, and coiled repeatedly without affecting their inherent slippery and antifouling behaviors. Our results also show that SLIPS-coated tubes can prevent the formation of bacterial biofilms after prolonged and repeated flow-based exposure to the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus and that the anti-biofouling properties of these coated tubes can be further improved or prolonged by coupling this approach with strategies that permit the sustained release of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. The suction-and-flow approach used here enables the application of slippery coatings in the confined luminal spaces of narrow-bore tubing that are difficult to access using several other methods for the fabrication of liquid-infused coatings and can be applied to tubing of arbitrary length and diameter. We anticipate that the materials and approaches reported here will prove useful for reducing or preventing biofouling, process fouling, and the clogging or occlusion of tubing in a wide range of consumer, industrial, and healthcare-oriented applications.

Abstract
Dermal substitutes are indispensable for repairing large full-thickness skin defects. Only a few biomaterials for dermal substitution have been put into clinical practice. Therefore, novel artificial dermal substitutes that can meet clinical requirements are in urgent need. Biodegradable poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) (P4HB), which has been approved by the U.S. FDA, can be considered as a possible alternative biomaterial to construct dermal substitutes. In this work, three-dimensional P4HB fibrous membranes were constructed by an electrospinning technique. These P4HB fibrous membranes showed excellent air-permeability, and better water uptake capacity compared to P4HB strip and polycaprolactone (PCL) fibrous membrane controls. The in vitro hemocompatibility and cytotoxicity of P4HB fibrous membranes were investigated. In vivo Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat model studies revealed that P4HB fibrous membranes can be used as artificial dermis to improve wound healing for full-thickness skin defects.

Abstract
Bioinspired superwettable surfaces have been widely harnessed in diverse applications such as self-cleaning, oil/water separation, and liquid transport. So far, only a little work is focused on scalephobic capability of those superwettable surfaces. However, the troublesome scale deposition will inevitably be observed in our daily production and life, greatly reducing heat transfer efficiency and inhibiting the liquid transport. To address this annoying problem, as the emerging strategy, specific barrier layers are introduced onto superwettable surfaces to reduce or even avoid the direct contact between scale and the surfaces. In this feature article, we first provide the basic concept of bioinspired scalephobic surfaces with specific barrier layers. Then, we briefly introduce the typical fabrication methods of scalephobic surfaces. Later, we summarize recent progress of bioinspired scalephobic surfaces with specific barrier layers. Furthermore, we point out the guiding theory and criteria for the stability of barrier layers. Finally, we put forward the forecast on the existing problems and future direction in bioinspired scalephobic surfaces.

Abstract
The surfaces of indwelling catheters offer sites for the adherence of bacteria to form biofilms, leading to various infections. Therefore, the development of antibacterial materials for catheters is imperative. In this study, combining the strong antibacterial effect of a quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) and the high biocompatibility of tannic acid (TA), we prepared a quaternary tannic acid (QTA) by grafting a synthesized quaternary ammonium salt, dimethyl dodecyl 6-bromohexyl ammonium bromide, onto TA. To prepare antibacterial catheters, QTA was blended with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) via melt extrusion, which is a convenient and easy-to-control process. Characterization of the TPU blends showed that compared with those of the QAS, dissolution rate and biocompatibility of QTA were significantly improved. On the premise that the introduction of QTA had only a slight effect on the original mechanical properties of pristine TPU, the prepared TPU/QTA maintained satisfactory antibacterial activities in vitro, under a flow state, as well as in vivo. The results verified that the TPU/QTA blend with a QTA content of 4% is effective, durable, stable, and non-toxic, and exhibits significant potential as a raw material for catheters.

Abstract
Delivering injectable microspheres in a minimally invasive way to repair complexly shaped tissue defects renders them attractive for clinical use. Especially, open porous microspheres that provide sufficient internal space for cell proliferation and nutrient diffusions can efficiently aid to completing reconstructions of tissue defects. In this work, chemically synthesized and biodegradable poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) (P4HB), which is the U.S. FDA-approved polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), was employed for fabricating open porous microspheres using a double-emulsion solvent evaporation method. The influences of fabrication parameters were discussed. It was found that the P4HB-based cell-free and growth factor-free open porous microspheres can enhance osteoblast differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells in vitro and accelerate rat calvarial bone-defect healing in vivo. These results demonstrated that the injectable open porous P4HB microspheres present a remarkable potential in bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Infectious diseases induced by pathogenic bacteria are the major causes for the failure of medical implants. Meanwhile, the drug-resistance is steadily developed because of the large and even inappropriate use of antibiotics. Therefore, the development of antibacterial coating with non-antibiotic-based agents on the surfaces of medical implants and devices has been an urgent need. Herein, we propose a bottlebrush-like antibacterial coating on a poly(styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (SEBS) triblock copolymer surface by UV-induced graft polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) acrylate terminated poly(lysine dendrimer). This PEG-conjugated antibacterial polymer possessed a substructure of α-helical backbone and cation dendrimer side chains stretching in the radial directions of the helix. The introduction of lysine peptide dendrimers endowed the prepared antibacterial polymer with precisely controlled characteristics of its local cation density, amphipathic composition as well as three-dimensional (3D) conformation to improve interactions with bacterial membranes. The antimicrobial assay and biocompatibility assay results showed that 96.83% of S. aureus and 99.99% of E. coli were killed after being in contact with the antibacterial coating, while no toxicity to mammalian cells or no hemolysis was detected. This antimicrobial activity was further confirmed by the molecular dynamics simulation results, which demonstrated that the employment of lysine peptide dendrimers enhanced the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding between the brush and bacterial membranes remarkably. Such bottlebrush-like antibacterial coating constructed using α-helical peptide dendritic polymers may become an effective strategy for manufacturing antibacterial products for biomedical uses.

Abstract
Like all biofluid-contacting medical devices, intranasal splints are highly prone to bacterial adhesion and clot formation. Despite their widespread use and the numerous complications associated with infected splints, limited success has been achieved in advancing their safety and surface biocompatibility, and, to date, no surface-coating strategy has been proposed to simultaneously enhance the antithrombogenicity and bacterial repellency of intranasal splints. Herein, we report an efficient, highly stable lubricant-infused coating for intranasal splints to render their surfaces antithrombogenic and repellent toward bacterial cells. Lubricant-infused intranasal splints were prepared by creating superhydrophobic polysiloxane nanofilament (PSnF) coatings using surface-initiated polymerization of n-propyltrichlorosilane (n-PTCS) and further infiltrating them with a silicone oil lubricant. Compared with commercially available intranasal splints, lubricant-infused, PSnF-coated splints significantly attenuated plasma and blood clot formation and prevented bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation for up to 7 days, the typical duration for which intranasal splints are kept. We further demonstrated that the performance of our engineered biointerface is independent of the underlying substrate and could be used to enhance the hemocompatibility and repellency properties of other medical implants such as medical-grade catheters.

Abstract
Dynamic complex surface topography with ordered and tunable morphologies, which can provide on-demand control of surface properties to realize smart surfaces, is gaining much attention yet remains challenging in terms of fabrication. Here, a facile, robust, and controllable method is demonstrated to fabricate programmable two-dimensional (2D) ordered patterns with multiresponsive 2D ultrathin materials, comprised of anthracene-capped hyperbranched poly(ether amine) (hPEA-AN)-functionalized graphene (hPEA-AN@G). By combining the stimuli-responsiveness and UV sensitivity of hPEA-AN and excellent out-of-plane deformation and NIR-to-thermal conversion of graphene, the process of "writing/uploading" initial information is conducted through the initial exposure to 365 nm UV light to generate the 2D ordered pattern first; second, inducing swelling strain via moisture to create the hierarchical topographic pattern (orderly oriented pattern) is the process of "modification and erasable rewriting"; third, alternating NIR or 254 nm UV light blanket exposure are the two ways of erasing the information. Consequently, taking advantage of the multiresponsive dynamic wrinkling/ordered patterning, we can program globally 2D ordered surface patterns with diverse morphologies on demand and manipulate the resulted surface properties as desired.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown a correlation between elevated interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentrations and the risk of respiratory failure in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, detection of IL-6 at low concentrations permits early diagnosis of worst-case outcome in viral respiratory infections. Here, a versatile biointerface is presented that eliminates nonspecific adhesion and thus enables immunofluorescence detection of IL-6 in whole human plasma or whole human blood during coagulation, down to a limit of detection of 0.5 pg mL-1 . The sensitivity of the developed lubricant-infused biosensor for immunofluorescence assays in detecting low molecular weight proteins such as IL-6 is facilitated by i) producing a bioink in which the capture antibody is functionalized by an epoxy-based silane for covalent linkage to the fluorosilanized surface and ii) suppressing nonspecific adhesion by patterning the developed bioink into a lubricant-infused coating. The developed biosensor addresses one of the major challenges for biosensing in complex fluids, namely nonspecific adhesion, therefore paving the way for highly sensitive biosensing in complex fluids.

Abstract
Device-associated clot formation and poor tissue integration are ongoing problems with permanent and temporary implantable medical devices. These complications lead to increased rates of mortality and morbidity and impose a burden on healthcare systems. In this review, we outline the current approaches for developing single and multi-functional surface coating techniques that aim to circumvent the limitations associated with existing blood-contacting medical devices. We focus on surface coatings that possess dual hemocompatibility and biofunctionality features and discuss their advantages and shortcomings to providing a biocompatible and biodynamic interface between the medical implant and blood. Lastly, we outline the newly developed surface modification techniques that use lubricant-infused coatings and discuss their unique potential and limitations in mitigating medical device-associated complications.

Abstract
The surface wrinkling of biological tissues is ubiquitous in nature. Accumulating evidence suggests that the mechanical force plays a significant role in shaping the biological morphologies. Controlled wrinkling has been demonstrated to be able to spontaneously form rich multiscale patterns, on either planar or curved surfaces. The surface wrinkling on planar substrates has been investigated thoroughly during the past decades. However, most wrinkling morphologies in nature are based on the curved biological surfaces and the research of controllable patterning on curved substrates still remains weak. The study of wrinkling on curved substrates is critical for understanding the biological growth, developing three-dimensional (3D) or four-dimensional (4D) fabrication techniques, and creating novel topographic patterns. In this review, fundamental wrinkling mechanics and recent advances in both fabrications and applications of the wrinkling patterns on curved substrates are summarized. The mechanics behind the wrinkles is compared between the planar and the curved cases. Beyond the film thickness, modulus ratio, and mismatch strain, the substrate curvature is one more significant parameter controlling the surface wrinkling. Curved substrates can be both solid and hollow with various 3D geometries across multiple length scales. Up to date, the wrinkling morphologies on solid/hollow core-shell spheres and cylinders have been simulated and selectively produced. Emerging applications of the curved topographic patterns have been found in smart wetting surfaces, cell culture interfaces, healthcare materials, and actuators, which may accelerate the development of artificial organs, stimuli-responsive devices, and micro/nano fabrications with higher dimensions.

Abstract
Microbial contamination of polymer surfaces has become a significant challenge in domestic, industrial, and biomedical applications. Recent progress in our understanding of how topographical features of different length scales can be used to effectively and selectively control the attachment and proliferation of different cell types has provided an alternative strategy for imparting antibacterial activity to these surfaces. Among the well-recognized engineered models of antibacterial surface topographies, self-organized wrinkles have shown particular promise with respect to their antimicrobial characteristics. Here, we critically review the mechanisms by which wrinkles form on the surface of different types of polymer material and how they interact with various biomolecules and cell types. We also discuss the feasibility of using this antimicrobial strategy in real-life biomedical applications.

Abstract
Blood-contacting medical devices that directly inhibit thrombosis and bacterial infection without using dangerous anticoagulant and antibacterial drugs can save countless lives but have proved extremely challenging. Here, a useful methodology is proposed that employs temporally shaped femtosecond laser ablation combined with fluorination to fabricate multifunctional three-dimensional (3D) micro-nanostructures with excellent hemocompatibility, zero cytotoxicity, outstanding biocompatibility, bacterial infection prevention, and long-term effectiveness on NiTi alloys. These multifunctional 3D micro-nanostructures present 0.1% hemolysis ratio and almost no platelet adhesion and activation, repel blood to inhibit blood coagulation in vitro, maintain 100% cell viability, and have exceptional stability over 6 months. Moreover, the multifunctional 3D micro-nanostructures simultaneously suppress bacterial colonization to form biofilm and kill 100% colonized Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and 95.6% colonized Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) after 24 h of incubation, and bacterial residues can be easily removed. The fabrication method in this work has the advantages of simple processing, high efficiency, high quality, and high repeatability, and the new multifunctional 3D micro-nanostructures can effectively prevent thrombosis and bacterial infection, which can be widely applied to various clinical needs such as biomedical devices and implants.

Abstract
Microbial fouling is a costly issue, which impacts a wide range of industries, such as healthcare, food processing, and construction industries, and improved strategies to reduce the impact of fouling are urgently required. Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) have recently been developed as a bioinspired approach to prevent antifouling. Here, we report the development of slippery, superhydrophilic surfaces by infusing roughened poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) substrates with phosphonium ionic liquids (PILs). These surfaces were capable of reducing viable bacterial adherence by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by >6 log10 cfu mL-1 after 24 h under static conditions relative to control PVC. Furthermore, we report the potential of a series of asymmetric quaternary alkyl PILs with varying alkyl chain lengths (C4-C18) and counteranions to act as antimicrobial agents against both Gram +ve and Gram -ve bacteria and illustrate their potential as antimicrobial alternatives to traditional fluorinated lubricants commonly used in the synthesis of SLIPSs.

Abstract
Wettability is a special character found in nature, including the superhydrophobicity of lotus leaves, the underwater superoleophobicity of fish scales and the slipperiness of pitcher plants. These surfaces exhibit unique properties such as resistance to icing, corrosion, and the like. The antifouling properties of the material surface have important applications in a variety of areas, such as in hulls, in medical equipment, in water pipes and underwater equipment. However, the traditional anti-fouling surface is usually combined with toxic substances or its manufacturing process is complicated and expensive, which cannot meet the current antifouling demand. These wettable surfaces have always exhibited good anti-biofouling and self-cleaning properties, and their use as antifouling surfaces can well solve the problems of the above-mentioned traditional antifouling surfaces. Here, we divided the wettable surfaces into superhydrophobic surfaces, underwater superoleophobic surfaces and slippery surfaces, respectively, summarizing their development in the field of antifouling. Their research progress in antibacterial, antibiotic flocculation and antiplatelet adhesion is highlighted. Furthermore, we provide our own insights into the shortcomings and development prospects of wettable surface applications in the field of antifouling.

Abstract
Materials for biodevices and bioimplants commonly suffer from unwanted but unavoidable biofouling problems due to the nonspecific adhesion of proteins, cells, or bacteria. Chemical coating or physical strategies for reducing biofouling have been pursued, yet highly robust antibiofouling surfaces that can persistently resist contamination in biological environments are still lacking. In this study, we developed a facile method to fabricate a highly robust slippery and antibiofouling surface by conjugating a liquid-like polymer layer to a substrate. This slippery liquid-attached (SLA) surface was created via a one-step equilibration reaction by tethering methoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS-OCH3) polymer brushes onto a substrate to form a transparent "liquid-like" layer. The SLA surface exhibited excellent sliding behaviors toward a wide range of liquids and small particles and antibiofouling properties against the long-term adhesion of small biomolecules, proteins, cells, and bacteria. Moreover, in contrast to superomniphobic surfaces and liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) requiring micro/nanostructures, the SLA layer could be obtained on smooth surfaces and maintain its biofouling resistance under abrasion with persistent stability. Our study offers a simple method to functionalize surfaces with robust slippery and antibiofouling properties, which is promising for potential applications including medical implants and biodevices.

Abstract
Wrinkled hydrogels from biomass sources are potential structural biomaterials. However, for biorelated applications, engineering scalable, structure-customized, robust, and biocompatible wrinkled hydrogels with highly oriented nanostructures and controllable intervals is still a challenge. A scalable biomass material, namely cellulose, is reported for customizing anisotropic, all-cellulose, wrinkle-patterned hydrogels (AWHs) through an ultrafast, auxiliary force, acid-induced gradient dual-crosslinking strategy. Direct immersion of a prestretched cellulose alkaline gel in acid and relaxation within seconds allow quick buildup of a consecutive through-thickness modulus gradient with acid-penetration-directed dual-crosslinking, confirmed by visual 3D Raman microscopy imaging, which drives the formation of self-wrinkling structures. Moreover, guided by quantitative mechanics simulations, the structure of AWHs is found to exhibit programmable intervals and aligned nanostructures that differ between ridge and valley regions and can be controlled by tuning the prestretching strain and acid treatment time, and these AWHs successfully induce cell alignment. Thus, a new avenue is opened to fabricate polysaccharide-derived, programmable, anisotropic, wrinkled hydrogels for use as biomedical materials via a bottom-up method.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS State-of-the-art superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) usually do not function in high humidity and frosty climate conditions. Lubricant-infused slippery surfaces (LISSs) with a homogeneous and ultraslippery surface are expected to be a reliable icephobic technique. Hence, the fabrication of simple and scalable bioinspired LISSs is important for practical applications. EXPERIMENTS Durable one-step LISSs consisting of silicone oil and polymer mixtures were fabricated. A grid map based on added oil and silica nanoparticles was developed to tune wettability, morphology, and slippery behavior of surfaces. A similar framework for ice adhesion of lubricant-infused coatings was also presented for the design of optimal icephobic materials. FINDINGS LISSs with slight hydrophobicity yield slippery properties, resulting in an order of magnitude lower ice adhesion compared to SHSs. The stable 20-w% silicone-oil-infused slippery coating with slight hydrophobicity and silica nanoparticles was found to be effective in anti-icing. The nanoparticles firmly anchor the oil overlayer and eliminate contamination by drying the surface. The LISSs made of polymers with surface energy ranging from 29 to 31 mJ/m2 show the potential to achieve low ice adhesion. As a result, the use of systematic frameworks highlights the role of material parameters. One-production strategy can be broadly used to design icephobic materials.

Abstract
Due to inspiration from the Nepenthes pitcher plant, a frontier of devices has emerged with unmatched capabilities. Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs), particularly known for their liquid-repelling behavior under low tilting angles (<5°), have demonstrated a plethora of applications in medical, marine, energy, industrial, and environmental materials. This review presents recent developments of LIS technology and its prospective to define the future direction of this technology in solving tomorrow's real-life challenges. First, an introduction to the different models explaining the physical phenomena of these surfaces, their wettability, and viscous-dependent frictional forces is discussed. Then, an outline of different emerging strategies required to fabricate a stable liquid-infused interface is presented, including different substrates, lubricants, surface chemistries, and design parameters which can be tuned depending on the application. Furthermore, applications of LIS coatings in the areas of anticorrosion, antifouling, anti-icing, self-healing, droplet manipulation, and biomedical devices will be presented followed by the limitations and future direction of this technology.

Abstract
Injectable micron-sized particles have historically achieved promising applications, but they continued to suffer from long-term biofouling caused by the adhesions of biomolecules, cells, and bacteria. Recently, a slippery lubricant infusion porous substrate (SLIPS) exhibited robust antiadhesiveness against many liquids; however, they were constructed using a 2D substrate, and they were not suitable for in vivo applications, such as injectable biomaterials. Inspired by SLIPS, here, we report the first case of injectable solid microparticles coated with a lubricating liquid surface to continuously resist biofouling. In our design, microparticles were attached with nanospikes and fluorinated to entrap the lubricant. The nanospikes enabled the lubricant-coated spiky microparticles (LCSMPs) to anomalously disperse in water despite the attraction between the surfaces of the microparticles. This result indicated that the LCSMPs exhibited persistent anomalous dispersity in water while maintaining a robust lubricating surface layer. LCSMPs prevented the adhesion of proteins, mammalian cells, and bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. LCSMPs also reduced in vivo fibrosis while conventional microparticles were heavily biofouled. This technology introduced a new class of injectable anti-biofouling microparticles with reduced risks of inflammation and infections.

Abstract
Adsorption separation based on porous polystyrene sulfonate is an important method of extracting lithium ion (Li+). In this work, silver-modified porous polystyrene sulfonate (PHIPEs-SS-Ag) derived from Pickering high internal phase emulsions was fabricated for the selective binding of Li+. PHIPEs-SS-Ag possessed porous polymer matrix, sufficient sulfonic acid functional groups, and uniformly immobilized silver particles, which were beneficial for improving mass transfer, binding amount and antifouling performance. In batch mode experiments, the adsorption capacity reached a maximum value (i.e. 14.09 mg g−1) under alkaline conditions, and the adsorption mechanism between PHIPEs-SS-Ag and Li+ was electrostatic attraction. PHIPEs-SS-Ag exhibited fast binding kinetics at 25 °C (i.e. 300 min), and the maximum monolayer adsorption amount from the Langmuir model for Li+ are 59.85 mg g−1, 35.06 mg g−1, and 27.09 mg g−1 at 15 °C, 25 °C, and 35 °C, respectively. Moreover, PHIPEs-SS-Ag displayed excellent selectivity for Li+ in the presence of K+, Mg2+, and Na+, and maintained 80.71% of the initial adsorption capacity after seven sequential cycles of adsorption–regeneration. Therefore, this work opened up a universal route for the development of composite adsorbents for the specific separation of Li+. Adsorption separation based on porous polystyrene sulfonate is an important method of extracting lithium ion (Li+).![]()

Abstract
The development of new technologies is key to the continued improvement of medicine, relying on comprehensive materials design strategies that can integrate advanced therapeutic and diagnostic functions with a variety of surface properties such as selective adhesion, dynamic responsiveness, and optical/mechanical tunability. Liquid-infused surfaces have recently come to the forefront as a unique approach to surface coatings that can resist adhesion of a wide range of contaminants on medical devices. Furthermore, these surfaces are proving highly versatile in enabling the integration of established medical surface treatments alongside the antifouling capabilities, such as drug release or biomolecule organization. Here, the range of research being conducted on liquid-infused surfaces for medical applications is presented, from an understanding of the basics behind the interactions of physiological fluids, microbes, and mammalian cells with liquid layers to current applications of these materials in point-of-care diagnostics, medical tubing, instruments, implants, and tissue engineering. Throughout this exploration, the design parameters of liquid-infused surfaces and how they can be adapted and tuned to particular applications are discussed, while identifying how the range of controllable factors offered by liquid-infused surfaces can be used to enable completely new and dynamic approaches to materials and devices for human health.

Abstract
Lubricant-infused omniphobic surfaces have exhibited outstanding effectiveness in inhibiting nonspecific adhesion and attenuating superimposed clot formation compared with other coated surfaces. However, such surfaces blindly thwart adhesion, which is troublesome for applications that rely on targeted adhesion. Here we introduce a new class of lubricant-infused surfaces that offer tunable bioactivity together with omniphobic properties by integrating biofunctional domains into the lubricant-infused layer. These novel surfaces promote targeted binding of desired species while simultaneously preventing nonspecific adhesion. To develop these surfaces, mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of aminosilanes and fluorosilanes were generated. Aminosilanes were utilized as coupling molecules for immobilizing capture ligands, and nonspecific adhesion of cells and proteins was prevented by infiltrating the fluorosilane molecules with a thin layer of a biocompatible fluorocarbon-based lubricant, thus generating biofunctional lubricant-infused surfaces. This method yields surfaces that (a) exhibit highly tunable binding of anti-CD34 and anti-CD144 antibodies and adhesion of endothelial cells, while repelling nonspecific adhesion of undesirable proteins and cells not only in buffer but also in human plasma or human whole blood, and (b) attenuate blood clot formation. Therefore, this straightforward and simple method creates biofunctional, nonsticky surfaces that can be used to optimize the performance of devices such as biomedical implants, extracorporeal circuits, and biosensors.
