Abstract
Developing tunable underwater adhesives that possess tough adhesion in service and easy detachment when required remains challenging. Herein, a strategy is proposed to design a near infrared (NIR) photothermal-responsive underwater adhesive by incorporating MXene (Ti3C2Tx)-based nanoparticles within isocyanate-modified polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer chains. The developed adhesive exhibits long-term and tough adhesion with an underwater adhesion strength reaching 5.478 MPa. Such strong adhesion is mainly attributed to the covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds at the adhesive-substrate interface. By making use of the photothermal-response of MXene-based nanoparticles and the thermal response of PDMS-based chains, the adhesive possesses photothermal-responsive performance, exhibiting sharply diminished adhesion under NIR irradiation. Such NIR-triggered tunable adhesion allows for easy and active detachment of the adhesive when needed. Moreover, the underwater adhesive exhibits photothermal antibacterial property, making it highly desirable for underwater applications. This work enhances the understanding of photothermal-responsive underwater adhesion, enabling the design of tunable underwater adhesives for biomedical and engineering applications.

Abstract
As a natural "binder," lignin fixes cellulose in plants to foster growth and longevity. However, isolated lignin has a poor binding ability, which limits its biomedical applications. In this study, inspired by mussel adhesive proteins, acidic/basic amino acids (AAs) are introduced in alkali lignin (AL) to form ionic-π/spatial correlation interactions, followed by demethylation to create catechol residues for enhanced adhesion activity. Atomic force microscopy reveals that catechol residues are the primary adhesion structures, with basic AAs exhibiting superior synergistic effects compared to acidic AAs. Demethylated lysine-grafted AL exhibits the strongest adhesion force toward skin tissue. Molecular dynamic simulation and density functional theory calculations indicate that adhesion against skin tissue mainly results from hydrogen bonds and cation-π interactions, with the adhesion mechanism being based on the Gibbs free energy of the Schiff base reaction. In summary, a biomimetic electrode based on lignin inspired by mussel adhesive proteins is prepared; the presented method offers a straightforward strategy for the development of biomimetic adhesives. Furthermore, this mussel-inspired adhesive can be used as a wearable bioelectrode in biomedical applications.

Abstract
The development of anti-adhesion hydrogels for preventing postoperative adhesions is an ongoing challenge, particularly in achieving a balance between exceptional antifouling properties and effective in situ tissue retention. In this study, we propose a unique approach with the design of a single-component Janus zwitterionic hydrogel patch featuring a bionic microstructure. The Janus patches were prepared through free radical polymerization of sulfobetaine methacrylate with N, N'-methylenebis(2-propenamide) as the cross-linker. The incorporation of hexagonal facets separated by interconnecting grooves on one side imparts durable and reliable in situ retention capabilities to the Janus hydrogel patch when it is applied to traumatized tissues. The opposing flat surface exhibits outstanding resistance to bacteria, proteins, and cell adhesion, due to the superhydrophilicity and excellent antifouling characteristics of zwitterionic polymers. This dual functionality empowers the Janus hydrogel patch to mitigate adhesions between traumatized and surrounding tissues. The hexagonal and groove bionic microstructures facilitate rapid drainage, promoting swift contact with the tissue for increased adhesion strength, while independent hexagonal microfacets enhance the peeling energy. In an in vivo setting, Janus zwitterionic hydrogel patches with surface microstructures form mutually embedded structures with the cecum surface, minimizing the likelihood of slippage and detachment. Remarkably, in vivo experiments involving abdominal wall cecum injuries illustrate the Janus zwitterionic hydrogel patch's superior anti-adhesion effectiveness compared to commercial controls. Thus, the Janus hydrogel patch, distinguished by its bionic microstructure surface, presents substantial potential in the biomedical field for averting postoperative adhesions.

The dynamic non-covalent interaction is considered to be the main base of living functions of creatures including humans, animals, and plants. Supramolecular hydrogels formed by non-covalent bonding interactions has become a unique platform for constructing promising materials for medicine, energy, electronic, and biological substitute. In this review, the self-assemble principle of supramolecular hydrogels is summarized. Next, the stimulation of external environment that triggers the assembly or disassembly of supramolecular hydrogels are recapitulated, including temperature, mechanics, light, pH, ions, etc. The main applications of bioinspired supramolecular hydrogels in terms of bionic objects including humans, animals, and plants are also described. Although so many efforts are done for revealing the synergized mechanism of the function and non-covalent interactions on the supramolecular hydrogel, the complexity and variability between stimulus and non-covalent bonding in the supramolecular system still require impeccable theories. As an outlook, the bioinspired supramolecular hydrogel is just beginning to exhibit its great potential in human life, offering significant opportunities in drug delivery and screening, implantable devices and substitutions, tissue engineering, micro-fluidic devices, and biosensors.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds are a severe complication of diabetes, often leading to high treatment costs and high amputation rates. Numerous studies have revealed that nitric oxide (NO) therapy is a promising option because it favours wound revascularization. Here, base-paired injectable adhesive hydrogels (CAT) were prepared using adenine- and thymine-modified chitosan (CSA and CST). By further introducing S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and binary l-arginine (bArg), we obtained a NO sustained-release hydrogel (CAT/bArg/GSON) that was more suitable for the treatment of chronic wounds. The results showed that the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF was upregulated in the CAT/bArg/GSON group, and improved blood vessel regeneration was observed, indicating an important role of NO. In addition, the research findings revealed that following treatment with the CAT/bArg/GSON hydrogel, the viability of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli decreased to 14 ± 2 % and 6 ± 1 %, respectively. Moreover, the wound microenvironment was improved, as evidenced by a 60 ± 1 % clearance of DPPH. In particular, histological examination and immunohistochemical staining results showed that wounds treated with CAT/bArg/GSNO exhibited denser neovascularization, faster epithelial tissue regeneration, and thicker collagen deposition. Overall, this study proposes an effective strategy to prepare injectable hydrogel dressings with dual NO donors. The functionality of CAT/bArg/GSON has been thoroughly demonstrated in research on chronic wound vascular regeneration, indicating that CAT/bArg/GSON could be a potential option for promoting chronic wound healing. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This article prepares a chitosan hydrogel utilizing the principle of complementary base pairing, which offers several advantages, including good adhesion, biocompatibility, and flow properties, making it a good material for wound dressings. Loaded GSNO and bArg can steadily release NO and l-arginine through the degradation of the gel. Then, the released l-arginine not only possesses antioxidant properties but can also continue to generate a small amount of NO under the action of NOS. This design achieves a sustained and stable supply of NO at the wound site, maximizing the angiogenesis-promoting and antibacterial effects of NO. More neovascularization and abundant collagen were observed in the regenerated tissues. This study provides an effective repair hydrogel material for diabetic wound.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Immediate control of bleeding and anti-infection play important roles in wound management. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death may occur if persistent bleeding, hemodynamic instability, and hypoxemia are not addressed. The combination of clay and hydrogel provides a new outlet for wound hemostasis. In this review, the current research progress of hydrogel/clay composite hemostatic agents was reviewed. AREAS COVERED This paper summarizes the characteristics of several kinds of clay including kaolinite, montmorillonite, laponite, sepiolite, and palygorskite. The advantages and disadvantages of its application in hemostasis were also summarized. Future directions for the application of hydrogel/clay composite hemostatic agents are presented. EXPERT OPINION Clay can activate the endogenous hemostatic pathway by increasing blood cell concentration and promoting plasma absorption to accelerate the hemostasis. Clay is antimicrobial due to the slow release of metal ions and has a rich surface charge with a high affinity for proteins and cells to promote tissue repair. Hydrogels have some properties such as good biocompatibility, strong adhesion, high stretchability, and good self-healing. Despite promising advances, hydrogel/clay composite hemostasis remains a limitation. Therefore, more evidence is needed to further elucidate the risk factors and therapeutic effects of hydrogel/clay in hemostasis and wound healing.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels are receiving increasing attention as local depots for sustained anticancer drug delivery. However, most current hydrogel-based carriers lack tissue-adhesive ability, a property that is important for the immobilization of drug-loaded systems at tumor sites to increase local drug concentration. In this study, we developed a paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded injectable hydrogel with firm tissue adhesion for localized tumor therapy. PTX-loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles (PTX@BN) were prepared, and the drug-loaded hydrogel was then fabricated by cross-linking PTX@BN with o-phthalaldehyde (OPA)-terminated 4-armed poly(ethylene glycol) (4aPEG-OPA) via a condensation reaction between OPA and the amines in BSA. The hydrogel showed firm adhesion to various organs and tumor tissues ex vivo due to the condensation reaction of unreacted OPA groups and amines in the tissues. The PTX-loaded nanocomposite hydrogels sustained PTX release over 30 days following the Korsmeyer-Peppas model and exhibited notable inhibition activities against mouse C26 colon and 4T1 breast cancer cells in vitro. Following peritumoral injection into mice with C26 or 4T1 tumors, the PTX@BN-loaded hydrogel significantly enhanced the antitumor efficacy and prolonged animal survival time compared to free PTX solutions with low systemic toxicity. Therefore, the adhesive, PTX-loaded nanocomposite hydrogels have the potential for efficient localized tumor therapy.

Abstract
Adhesives have received extensive attention in flexible bioelectronics, wearable electronic medical devices, and biofuel cells. However, it is a challenge to achieve late regulation of performance once polymer-based gels are formed. Here, a double-network organogel composed of a hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer network and a polyamide acid network was successfully prepared. In diverse liquid environments (including isopropyl alcohol, glycerol, epichlorohydrin, n-propanol, dichloromethane, triethanolamine, ethanol absolute, hydrogen peroxide, and ethyl acetate), the organogel adhesive demonstrated remarkable properties. It exhibits a strong tensile strength of 200 kPa, a high fracture strain reaching 560%, and an impressive adhesion strength of 38 kPa. In addition, the organogel demonstrates exceptional adhesive properties toward polytetrafluoroethylene, plastics, metals, rubber, and glass. Note that the organogel could also regulate adhesive and tough performance by thermally triggering a cyclization reaction even after the organogel has been formed. The strategy provides a new idea for designing soft materials with post-tunability.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry combines the strength of molecular assembly via various molecular interactions. Hydrogen bonding facilitated self-assembly with the advantages of directionality, specificity, reversibility, and strength is a promising approach for constructing advanced supramolecules. There are still some challenges in hydrogen bonding based supramolecular polymers, such as complexity originating from tautomerism of the molecular building modules, the assembly process, and structure versatility of building blocks. In this review, examples are selected to give insights into multiple hydrogen bonding driven emerging supramolecular architectures. We focus on chiral supramolecular assemblies, multiple hydrogen bonding modules as stimuli responsive sources, interpenetrating polymer networks, multiple hydrogen bonding assisted organic frameworks, supramolecular adhesives, energy dissipators, and quantitative analysis of nano-adhesion. The applications in biomedical materials are focused with detailed examples including drug design evolution for myotonic dystrophy, molecular assembly for advanced drug delivery, an indicator displacement strategy for DNA detection, tissue engineering, and self-assembly complexes as gene delivery vectors for gene transfection. In addition, insights into the current challenges and future perspectives of this field to propel the development of multiple hydrogen bonding facilitated supramolecular materials are proposed.

Hemostatic materials with characteristics of adhesion, sealing, anti-infection, and concrescence promotion have drawn growing concerns. However, pure natural multifunctional hemostatic materials with in situ ultrafast self-gelation are rarely reported. In this study, a hydro-sensitive collagen/tannic acid (ColTA) natural hemostatic powder is developed that can in situ self-gel to form adhesive by the non-covalent crosslinking between tannic acid (TA) and collagen (Col) in liquids. The physical interactions endow ColTA adhesive with the characteristics of instantaneous formation and high adhesion at various substrate surfaces. Crucially, ColTA powder adhesive shows an enhanced adhesion performance in the presence of blood due to the electrostatic interactions between ColTA adhesive and red blood cells, conducive to effective in situ sealing and rapid hemostasis. The biocompatible and hemocompatible ColTA adhesive can effectively control bleeding and seal the wounds of the caudal vein, liver, heart, and femoral arteries in rats. Furthermore, the low-cost and ready-to-use ColTA adhesive powder also possesses good antibacterial and inhibiting biofilm formation ability, and can efficiently regulate immune response by the NF-κB pathway to promote wound repair, making it a highly promising hemostatic material with great potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Wet adhesion is critical in cases of wound closure, but it is usually deterred by the hydration layer on tissues. Inspired by dopamine-mediated underwater adhesion in mussel foot proteins, wet tissue adhesives containing catechol with 2-3 carbons side chains are reported mostly. To make wet adhesion of this type of adhesives much tougher, catechol derivatives with a long aliphatic side chain (≈10 atoms length) are synthesized. Then, a series of strong wet tissue adhesive hydrogels are prepared through photoinduced copolymerization of acrylic acid with synthetic monomers. The adhesive hydrogel has a high cohesion strength, that is, tensile strength and strain, and toughness of ≈1800 kPa, ≈540%, and ≈4100 kJ m-3 , respectively. Its interfacial toughness on wet and underwater porcine skin is respectively ≈1300 and ≈1100 J m-2 , and its adhesion strength to wet porcine skin is ≈153 kPa. These values are much higher than those of dopamine-based adhesives in the same conditions, demonstrating that the long aliphatic side chain on catechol can greatly improve the wet tissue-adhesion. Additionally, the tough interfacial adhesion can be broken on demand with 5 wt.% aqueous urea solution. This adhesive hydrogel is highly promising in safe wound closure.

Abstract
Adhesives are typically either strong and permanent or reversible with limited strength. However, current strategies to create strong yet reversible adhesives needed for wearable devices, robotics and material disassembly lack independent control of strength and release, require complex fabrication or only work in specific conditions. Here we report metamaterial adhesives that simultaneously achieve strong and releasable adhesion with spatially selectable adhesion strength through programmed cut architectures. Nonlinear cuts uniquely suppress crack propagation by forcing cracks to propagate backwards for 60× enhancement in adhesion, while allowing crack growth in the opposite direction for easy release and reusability. This mechanism functions in numerous adhesives on diverse substrates in wet and dry conditions and enables highly tunable adhesion with independently programmable adhesion strength in two directions simultaneously at any location. We create these multifunctional materials in a maskless, digital fabrication framework to rapidly customize adhesive characteristics with deterministic control for next-generation adhesives.

Abstract
Stretchable hydrogels as landmark soft materials have been efficiently utilized in the field of wearable sensing devices. However, these soft hydrogels mostly cannot integrate transparency, stretchability, adhesiveness, self-healing, and environmental adaptability into one system. Herein, a fully physically cross-linked poly(hydroxyethyl acrylamide)-gelatin dual-network organohydrogel is prepared in a phytic acid-glycerol binary solvent via a rapid ultraviolet light initiation. The introduction of gelatin as the second network endows the organohydrogel with desirable mechanical performance (high stretchability up to 1240%). The presence of phytic acid not only synergizes with glycerol to impart environment-tolerance to the organohydrogel (from -20 to 60 °C) but also increases the conductivity. Moreover, the organohydrogel demonstrates a durable adhesive performance toward diverse substrates, a high self-healing efficiency through heat treatment, and favorable optical transparency (transmittance of 90%). Furthermore, the organohydrogel achieves high sensitivity (gauge factor of 2.18 at 100% strain) and rapid response time (80 ms) and could detect both tiny (a low detection limit of 0.25% strain) and large deformations. Therefore, the assembled organohydrogel-based wearable sensors are capable of monitoring human joint motions, facial expression, and voice signals. This work proposes a facile route for multifunctional organohydrogel transducers and promises the practical application of flexible wearable electronics in complex scenarios.

Abstract
The wearable electronic technique is increasingly becoming an effective approach to overcoming the communication obstacles between signers and non-signers. However, the efficacy of conducting hydrogels currently proposed as flexible sensor devices is hindered by their poor processability and matrix mismatch, which frequently results in adhesion failure at the combined interfaces and deterioration of mechanical and electrochemical performance. Herein, we propose a hydrogel composed of a rigid matrix in which the hydrophobic and aggregated polyaniline was homogeneously embedded, while quaternate-functionalized nucleobase moieties endowed the flexible network with adhesiveness. Accordingly, the resulting hydrogel with chitosan-graft-polyaniline (chi-g-PANI) copolymers exhibited a promising conductivity (4.8 S·m-1) because of the uniformly dispersed polyaniline components and a high strain strength (0.84 MPa) because of the chain entanglement of chitosan after soaking. In addition, the modified adenine molecules not only realized synchronization in improving the stretchability (up to 1303%) and exhibiting a skin-like elastic modulus (≈184 kPa), but also provided a durable interfacial contact with various materials. The hydrogel was further fabricated into a strain-monitoring sensor for information encryption and sign language transmission based on its sensing stability and strain sensitivity of up to 2.77. The developed wearable sign language interpreting system provides an innovative strategy to assist auditory or speech-impaired people in communicating with non-signers using visual-gestural patterns including body movements and facial expressions.

Abstract
Marine organisms, such as mussels and sandcastle worms, can master rapid and robust adhesion in turbulent seawater, becoming leading archetypes for the design of underwater adhesives. The adhesive proteins secreted by the organisms are rich in catecholic amino acids along with ionic and amphiphilic moieties, which mediate the adaptive adhesion mainly through catechol chemistry and coacervation process. Catechol allows a broad range of molecular interactions both at the adhesive-substrate interface and within the adhesive matrix, while coacervation promotes the delivery and surface spreading of the adhesive proteins. These natural design principles have been translated to synthetic systems toward the development of biomimetic adhesives with water-resist adhesion and cohesion. This review provides an overview of the recent progress in bio-inspired wet adhesives, focusing on two aspects: (1) the elucidation of the versatile molecular interactions (e.g., electrostatic interactions, metal coordination, hydrogen bonding, and cation-π/anion-π interactions) used by natural adhesives, mainly through nanomechanical characterizations; and (2) the rational designs of wet adhesives based on these biomimetic strategies, which involve catechol-functionalized, coacervation-induced, and hydrogen bond-based approaches. The emerging applications (e.g., tissue glues, surgical implants, electrode binders) of the developed biomimetic adhesives in biomedical, energy, and environmental fields are also discussed, with future research directions proposed.

Abstract
Strong adhesion of hydrogels on solids plays an important role in stable working for various practical applications. However, current hydrogel adhesion suffers from poor interfacial bonding with solid surfaces. Here, we propose a general superwetting-assisted interfacial polymerization (SAIP) strategy to robustly anchor hydrogels onto solids by forming high-density interfacial covalent bonds. The key of our strategy is to make the initiator fully contact solid surfaces via a superwetting way for enhancing the interfacial grafting efficiency. The designed anchored hydrogels show strong bulk failure with a high breaking strength of ≈1.37 MPa, different from weak interfacial failure that occurs in traditional strategies. The strong interfacial adhesion greatly enhances the stability of hydrogels against swelling destruction. This work opens up new inspirations for designing strongly anchored hydrogels from an interfacial chemistry perspective.

Abstract
The preparation of water-based adhesives with high bonding strength for various substrates is challenging. Moreover, to construct a sustainable society, it is highly desirable to develop a cost-effective way to achieve the reuse of plastic wastes. Herein, using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) chemicals or wastes as raw materials, water-based adhesives with high bonding strength for various substrates are prepared through a simple one-step hydrolysis strategy. The adhesives possess the maximum bonding strength of 7.1 MPa to iron, 4.2 MPa to wood, and ∼1.5 MPa to plastics. The adhesives have a world-record bonding strength to metal when compared with that of current reported water-based adhesives. Our method is low cost, simple, environmentally friendly, and suitable for large-scale industrial production. More importantly, using plastic wastes as raw materials opens up a new and low-cost way to turn wastes into valuables, which will greatly contribute to construct a sustainable society.

Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogels are of great interest in tissue scaffolding, diagnostics, and drug delivery due to their biocompatibility and stimuli-responsive properties. In particular, nucleosides are promising candidates as building blocks due to their manifold noncovalent interactions and ease of chemical modification. Significant progress in the field has been made over recent years to allow the use of nucleoside-based supramolecular hydrogels in the biomedical field, namely drug delivery and 3D bioprinting. For example, their long-term stability, printability, functionality, and bioactivity have been greatly improved by employing more than one gelator, incorporating different cations, including silver for antibacterial activity, or using additives such as boric acid or even biomolecules. This now permits their use as bioinks for 3D printing to produce cell-laden scaffolds with specified geometries and pore sizes as well as a homogeneous distribution of living cells and bioactive molecules. We have summarized the latest advances in nucleoside-based supramolecular hydrogels. Additionally, we discuss their synthesis, structural properties, and potential applications in tissue engineering and provide an outlook and future perspective on ongoing developments in the field.

Abstract
Small living organisms such as lizards possess naturally built functional surface textures that enable them to walk or climb on versatile surface topographies. Bio-mimicking the surface characteristics of these geckos has enormous potential to improve the accessibility of modern robotics. Therefore, gecko-inspired adhesives have significant industrial applications, including robotic endoscopy, bio-medical cleaning, medical bandage tapes, rock climbing adhesives, tissue adhesives, etc. As a result, synthetic adhesives have been developed by researchers, in addition to dry fibrillary adhesives, elastomeric adhesives, electrostatic adhesives, and thermoplastic adhesives. All these adhesives represent significant contributions towards robotic grippers and gloves, depending on the nature of the application. However, these adhesives often exhibit limitations in the form of fouling, wear, and tear, which restrict their functionalities and load-carrying capabilities in the natural environment. Therefore, it is essential to summarize the state of the art attributes of contemporary studies to extend the ongoing work in this field. This review summarizes different adhesion mechanisms involving gecko-inspired adhesives and attempts to explain the parameters and limitations which have impacts on adhesion. Additionally, different novel adhesive fabrication techniques such as replica molding, 3D direct laser writing, dip transfer processing, fused deposition modeling, and digital light processing are encapsulated.

Abstract
The development of adhesive hydrogel materials has brought numerous advances to biomedical engineering. Hydrogel adhesion has drawn much attention in research and applications. In this paper, the study of hydrogel adhesion is no longer limited to the surface of hydrogels. Here, the effect of the internal crosslinking degree of hydrogels prepared by different methods on hydrogel adhesion was explored to find the generality. The results show that with the increase in crosslinking degree, the hydrogel adhesion decreased significantly due to the limitation of segment mobility. Moreover, two simple strategies to improve hydrogel adhesion generated by hydrogen bonding were proposed. One was to keep the functional groups used for hydrogel adhesion and the other was to enhance the flexibility of polymer chains that make up hydrogels. We hope this study can provide another approach for improving the hydrogel adhesion generated by hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Noncovalent interactions, which usually feature tunable strength, reversibility, and environmental adaptability, have been recognized as driving forces in a variety of biological and chemical processes, contributing to the recognition between molecules, the formation of molecule clusters, and the establishment of complex structures of macromolecules. The marriage of noncovalent interactions and conventional covalent polymers offers the systems novel mechanical, physicochemical, and biological properties, which are highly dependent on the binding mechanisms of the noncovalent interactions that can be illuminated via quantification. This review systematically discusses the nanomechanical characterization of typical noncovalent interactions in polymeric systems, mainly through direct force measurements at microscopic, nanoscopic, and molecular levels, which provide quantitative information (e.g., ranges, strengths, and dynamics) on the binding behaviors. The fundamental understandings of intermolecular and interfacial interactions are then correlated to the macroscopic performances of a series of noncovalently bonded polymers, whose functions (e.g., stimuli-responsiveness, self-healing capacity, universal adhesiveness) can be customized through the manipulation of the noncovalent interactions, providing insights into the rational design of advanced materials with applications in biomedical, energy, environmental, and other engineering fields.

Abstract
The treatment and management of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is a pretty intractable problem for clinical nursing. Urgently, the "Black Box" status of the healing process prevents surgeons from providing timely analysis for more effective diagnosis and therapy of the wound. Herein, we designed a transparent monitoring system to treat and manage the DFUs with blood oozing and hard-healing, which resolved the problem of blind management for the other conductive patches. This system was prepared from a conductive hydrogel patch with ultra-high transparence (up to 93.6%), adhesiveness and hemostasis, which is engineered by assembling in situ formed poly(tannic acid) (PTA)-doped polypyrrole (PPy) nanofibrils in the poly(acrylamide-acrylated adenine) (P(AM-Aa)) polymer networks. Significantly, the high transparent conductive hydrogel patch can monitor the wound-healing status visually and effectively promote the healing of DFUs by accelerating hemostasis, improving communication between cells, preventing wound infection, facilitating collagen deposition, and promoting angiogenesis. In addition, the versatile hydrogel patch could realize indirect blood glucose monitoring by detecting the glucose levels on wounds, and further sense the movements with different magnitudes of human body timely. This research may provide a novel strategy in the design of chronic wound dressings for monitoring and treating the wounds synergistically.

Abstract
The development of compressible, stretchable and self-healing hydrogel dressings with good adhesive, antibacterial and angiogenesis properties is needed to promote the regeneration of diabetic wounds in clinical applications. In this work, a series of self-healing, adhesive and antibacterial hydrogels based on gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), adenine acrylate (AA), and CuCl2 were designed through covalent bonding, coordination complexation of Cu2+ and carboxyl groups and hydrogen bonding to promote diabetic wound healing. These hydrogels exhibit efficient self-healing properties, remarkable fatigue resistance, and good adhesive properties due to the hydrogen bond and the metal-ligand coordination provided by the Cu2+ and the carboxyl group. The GelMA/AA/Cu1.0 hydrogel (containing 1.0 mg/mL Cu2+) with well-balanced biocompatibility and antibacterial properties exhibited efficient hemostatic performance in a mouse liver trauma model and significantly promoted the healing process in a full-thickness skin diabetic wound model. The immunohistochemistry results showed that the GelMA/AA/Cu1.0 hydrogel can promote regular epithelialization and collagen deposition when compared to the TegadermTM Film, GelMA hydrogel, and GelMA/AA/Cu0 hydrogel. The immunofluorescence results confirmed that the GelMA/AA/Cu1.0 hydrogel can reduce the expression of proinflammatory factors and promote angiogenesis. In conclusion, the GelMA/AA/Cu hydrogel is an effective wound dressing to promote the healing process of diabetic skin wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Diabetic wounds exhibit an extremely high risk of bacterial infection and poor angiogenesis in a high-sugar environment, hindering their healing process. Hydrogel wound dressings are a promising wound care material that need to have stable and long-lasting adhesive properties, avoid shedding, provide lasting protection to wounds, antibacterial properties and promote angiogenesis. In this study, a series of self-healing, adhesive, and antibacterial hydrogels based on gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), acrylated adenine (AA), and CuCl2 were designed and synthesized via free radical polymerization, hydrogen bond, and ionic bond to promote diabetic wound healing. Overall, GelMA/AA/Cu hydrogels are promising materials to promote diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Recently, owing to the wide applications in electronic skin and human activity monitoring, flexible hydrogel strain sensors have attracted great attention. And the better preparation with more efficient is always common aspiration. In this work, acrylamide (AM) was in situ polymerized in chitosan (CS) matrix to prepare hydrogels (PAM@CS). Inspired by the adhesion of natural mussels, plant polyphenol tannic acid (TA) was introduced into the system, Fe3+ was also introduced as redox agent to perform an ultrafast polymerization, and the composite hydrogel PAM@CS/TA-Fe can be prepared at 60 °C within 1 min. The hydrogels are ion conductive and show good sensing performance in detecting major and subtle body motions. Benefiting from the multiple dynamic noncovalent bonds, the PAM@CS/TA-Fe hydrogels also show excellent adhesion performance and good self-healing property, which would expand their application range in wearable and flexible electronic equipment.

Abstract
Interfacial adhesion under extreme conditions has attracted increasing attention owing to its potential application of stopping leakages of oil or natural gas. However, interfacial adhesion is rarely stable at ultralow temperatures and in organic solvents, necessitating the elucidation of the molecular-level processes. Herein, we used the intermolecular force-control strategy to prepare four linear polymers by tuning the proportion of hydrogen bonding and the number of electrostatic sites. The obtained polymeric ion liquids displayed strong dynamic adhesion at various interfaces. They also efficiently tolerated organic solvents and ultracold temperatures. Highly reversible rheological behaviors are observed within a thermal cycle between high and ultracold temperatures. Temperature-dependent infrared spectra and theoretical calculation reveal thermal reversibility and interfacial adhesion/debonding processes at the molecular level, respectively. This intermolecular force-control strategy may be applied to produce environmentally adaptive functional materials for real applications.

Abstract
Developing an efficient and available material for improved cutaneous tissue regeneration is a major challenge in healthcare. Inspired by the concept of moist wound healing, the injectable and self-healing adenine-modified chitosan (AC) hydrogels are designed to significantly accelerate wound healing without the addition of therapeutic drugs. A series of AC derivatives with degree of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.21 to 0.55 were synthesized in aqueous solutions, and the AC hydrogels were prepared by a simple heating/cooling process. AC hydrogels presented good self-healing, low swelling rate capacity, biocompatibility, promote cell proliferation and excellent hemostatic effect. The hydrogels displayed excellent antibacterial activities against gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, fungi and drug-resistance bacteria. Moreover, the full-thickness skin defect model experiments showed that AC hydrogels could reduce inflammatory cell infiltration and accelerate wound healing significantly. The hydrogel can shed new light on designing of the multifunctional dressings for wound healing.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a promising and revolutionary strategy to treat patients who suffer the loss or failure of an organ or tissue, with the aim to restore the dysfunctional tissues and enhance life expectancy. Supramolecular adhesive hydrogels are emerging as appealing materials for tissue engineering applications owing to their favorable attributes such as tailorable structure, inherent flexibility, excellent biocompatibility, near-physiological environment, dynamic mechanical strength, and particularly attractive self-adhesiveness. In this review, the key design principles and various supramolecular strategies to construct adhesive hydrogels are comprehensively summarized. Thereafter, the recent research progress regarding their tissue engineering applications, including primarily dermal tissue repair, muscle tissue repair, bone tissue repair, neural tissue repair, vascular tissue repair, oral tissue repair, corneal tissue repair, cardiac tissue repair, fetal membrane repair, hepatic tissue repair, and gastric tissue repair, is systematically highlighted. Finally, the scientific challenges and the remaining opportunities are underlined to show a full picture of the supramolecular adhesive hydrogels. This review is expected to offer comparative views and critical insights to inspire more advanced studies on supramolecular adhesive hydrogels and pave the way for different fields even beyond tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage and wound infection are crucial causes of trauma-associated death in both the military and the clinic. Therefore, developing an efficient and rapid hemostatic method with biocompatibility, easy degradation, and wound healing is of great importance and desirability. Inspired by spontaneous blood cell plug formation in the hemostasis process, an adenosine 5′-diphosphate modified pro-coagulation hyaluronic acid (HA-ADP) coordinated with enhanced antibacterial activity of undecanal-modified chitosan (UCS) was fabricated through physical electrostatic cross-linking and freeze-drying. The as-prepared hydrogel sponges showed a porous structure suitable for blood cell adhesion. In particular, the hydrogel exhibited excellent antibacterial ability and promoted the adhesion of platelets and red blood cells, thus inducing a prominent pro-coagulation ability via platelet activation, which exhibits a shorter hemostasis time (58.94% of control) in vitro. Compared with commercially available CELOX and gelatin sponge (GS), HA-ADP/UCS accelerates hemostasis and reduces blood loss in both rat tail amputation and rat artery injury models. Furthermore, all the samples exhibited superior cytocompatibility and biodegradability. Due to these performances, HA-ADP/UCS promoted full-thickness skin defect healing significantly in vivo. All the properties of HA-ADP/UCS suggest that it has great potential for translation as a clinical application material for hemostatic and wound healing. Using adenosine 5'-diphosphate, a physiologically platelet agonist, to modify hyaluronic acids to promote hemostatic effect. Using undecanal to modify Chitosan fabricated with HA-ADP via electrostatic interactions and noncovalent crosslinking method. The hydrogel sponges have excellent antibacterial properties related to the bacterial disruption abilities of UCS. HA-ADP/UCS posed a great hemostatic performance, promoting wound healing by regulating inflammatory response in early stage.

Abstract
Dry adhesives that combine strong adhesion, high transparency, and reusability are needed to support developments in emerging fields such as medical electrodes and the bonding of electronic optical devices. However, achieving all of these features in a single material remains challenging. Herein, we propose a pressure-responsive polyurethane (PU) adhesive inspired by the octopus sucker. This adhesive not only showcases reversible adhesion to both solid materials and biological tissues but also exhibits robust stability and high transparency (>90%). As the adhesive strength of the PU adhesive corresponds to the application force, adhesion could be adjusted by the preloading force and/or pressure. The adhesive exhibits high static adhesion (∼120 kPa) and 180° peeling force (∼500 N/m), which is far stronger than those of most existing artificial dry adhesives. Moreover, the adhesion strength is effectively maintained even after 100 bonding-peeling cycles. Because the adhesive tape relies on the combination of negative pressure and intermolecular forces, it overcomes the underlying problems caused by glue residue like that left by traditional glue tapes after removal. In addition, the PU adhesive also shows wet-cleaning performance; the contaminated tape can recover 90-95% of the lost adhesion strength after being cleaned with water. The results show that an adhesive with a microstructure designed to increase the contribution of negative pressure can combine high reversible adhesion and long fatigue life.

Abstract
Hydrogels consisting of a three-dimensional hydrophilic network of biocompatible polymers have been widely used in tissue engineering. Owing to their tunable mechanical properties, hydrogels have been applied in both hard and soft tissues. However, most hydrogels lack self-adhesive properties that enable integration with surrounding tissues, which may result in suture or low repair efficacy. Self-adhesive hydrogels (SAHs), an emerging class of hydrogels based on a combination of three-dimensional hydrophilic networks and self-adhesive properties, continue to garner increased attention in recent years. SAHs exhibit reliable and suitable adherence to tissues, and easily integrate into tissues to promote repair efficiency. SAHs are designed either by mimicking the adhesion mechanism of natural organisms, such as mussels and sandcastle worms, or by using supramolecular strategies. This review summarizes the design and processing strategies of SAHs, clarifies underlying adhesive mechanisms, and discusses their applications in tissue engineering, as well as future challenges.

Abstract
To overcome the wearable sensor's defects and achieve the goal of robust mechanical properties, long-term adhesion, sensitive electrical conductivity, the multifunctional hydrogels were inspired by various mussels on the base of catechol and its analogues. In this review, we review the strategies for improving the mechanical strength, adhesion, conductivity and antibacterial properties of mussel-inspired hydrogels as bioelectronics. Double network structures, nanocomposites, supramolecular block polymers and other strategies were utilized for achieving tough hydrogels to prevent tensile fractures under high deformation. Many mussel-inspired chemistries were incorporated for constructing skin-attachable hydrogel strain sensors and some strategies for controlling the oxidation of catechol were employed to achieve long-term adhesion. In addition, electrolytes, conductive fillers, conductive polymers and their relevant hydrophilic modifications were introduced for fabricating the conductive hydrogel bioelectronics to enhance the conductivity properties. Finally, the challenges and outlooks in this promising field are featured from the perspective of materials chemistry.

Abstract
Adhesives are extensively used in furniture manufacture, and most currently utilized furniture glues are formaldehyde-based chemicals, which emit formaldehyde throughout the entire life of the furniture. With increasing concerns about formaldehyde emission effects on human health, formaldehyde-free and environmentally friendly wood adhesives from bio-based resources are highly desired. In this study, we developed an eco-friendly, high-strength, and water-based wood adhesive from one-pot coacervation of the hierarchical self-assembly of folic acid (FA, a biomolecule, vitamin B9) with a commercially available biocompatible polymer-branched poly(ethylene imine) (b-PEI). The coacervation is caused by multiple hydrogen bonds between b-PEI and the stacks of FA quartets, which demonstrates a continuous robust 3D network, thus realizing adhesion and cohesion behaviors. This coacervate has the strongest adhesion toward wood compared with other substrates. The long-lasting shear bonding strength is up to 3.68 MPa, which is much higher than that of commercial super glue, but without releasing any toxic components. Since all the fabrication and application processes are under ambient conditions without any heating and high-pressure procedures, this work provides a facile yet powerful strategy to develop formaldehyde-free, eco-friendly, and high-performance bio-based waterborne adhesives for wood bonding.

Abstract
Realizing simultaneous antiwater and anti-oil-fouling adhesion is extremely challenging owing to the solvated overlayer on the surface of substrates. Herein, we develop a supertough polyacrylate-based tape bearing SiO2 as a reinforcing filler and a solvent to liquefy the surface. The SiO2 reinforcement enhances the cohesion strength, while the liquefied surface not only expels the solvated overlayer but also improves the interfacial wettability and interaction. This material design imparts the double-sided tape with admirable antiwater and anti-oil-fouling adhesion performance, which far exceeds that of commercial tapes, as well as high transparency and long-term stability. In addition, we carry out an in-depth study on the adhesive mechanism for the tape and clarify the role of the solvent and the interaction between SiO2 and a polymer matrix. This work provides a novel strategy for designing antiwater and anti-oil-fouling adhesives with wide applications in various fields such as leakage repair, antiseep, underwater adhesion, building materials, and biological adhesives.

Abstract
Herein, a strategy is proposed to prepare a conductive, self-adhesive, and stretchable agarose gel with the merits of distinct heat resistance, freeze resistance, and long-term moisture retention. To endow the gels with conductivity, monodisperse carbon nanotubes modified by polydopamine are introduced into the gel networks, which promote both conductivity and mechanical strength of the gels. Meanwhile, further addition of glycerol enhances excellent stretchability as well as heating/freezing tolerability and moisture retention of the gels. A wearable biosensor based on the gel is fabricated to record body motions precisely with good biocompatibility, which benefits the development of smart wearable devices.

Abstract
Adhesives are crucial both in nature and in diversified artificial fields, and developing environment-friendly adhesives with economic procedures remains a great challenge. We report that folic acid-based coacervates can be a new category of excellent adhesives for all kinds of surfaces with long-lasting adhesiveness. Aided by the electrostatic interaction between the π-π stacked folic acid quartets and polycations, the resultant coacervates are able to interact with diversified substrates via a polyvalent hydrogen bond, coordination, and electrostatic interactions. The adhesivity to wood is superior to the strong commercial glues, but without releasing any toxic components. Upon evaporating water, the coacervate can be casted into a non-adhesive flexible self-supporting film, which restores the adhesive coacervate immediately on contacting water with original adhesive ability. In this way, the coacervate can be facilely tailored into a double-sided tape (DST), which is convenient for storage and application under ambient conditions. Given its excellent adhesive performance, release of nontoxic gases, and convenience in storage and application, the folic acid-based DST is very promising as a new adhesive material.

Abstract
A variety of suture and bioglue techniques are conventionally used to secure engineered scaffold systems onto the target tissues. These techniques, however, confront several obstacles including secondary damages, cytotoxicity, insufficient adhesion strength, improper degradation rate, and possible allergic reactions. Adhesive tissue engineering scaffolds (ATESs) can circumvent these limitations by introducing their intrinsic tissue adhesion ability. This article highlights the significance of ATESs, reviews their key characteristics and requirements, and explores various mechanisms of action to secure the scaffold onto the tissue. We discuss the current applications of advanced ATES products in various fields of tissue engineering, together with some of the key challenges for each specific field. Strategies for qualitative and quantitative assessment of adhesive properties of scaffolds are presented. Furthermore, we highlight the future prospective in the development of advanced ATES systems for regenerative medicine therapies.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) printed biodegradable hydrogel scaffold with a strong self-expanding ability to conform to the contour of irregular bone defects and be closely adjacent to host tissues is reported herein. The scaffold has a triple cross-linked network structure consisting of photo-cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAAM) and polyurethane (PU) as the primary IPN network and chemical cross-linked gelatin (Gel) as the secondary network, which confers the scaffold with good mechanical properties. The addition of PU in the polymerization process of acrylamide (AAM) can improve the ultraviolet (UV) photocuring efficiency of the hydrogel and incorporate abundant hydrogen bonds between the PAAM copolymer chain and the PU chain. The results show that the hydrogel scaffold contains regular structures with smooth morphology, excellent dimensional stability, and uniform aperture. The degradation rate of the hydrogel scaffold is controllable through adjusting cross-linking agents and can be up to about 60% after degradation for 28 days. More importantly, the rapid self-inflating characteristic of the scaffold in water, that is, the volume of hydrogel scaffold can increase to about 8 times that of their own in an hour and can generate a slight compressive stress on the surrounding host tissue, thus stimulating the reconstruction and growth of new bone tissues. The in vitro experiment indicates that the scaffold is nontoxic and biocompatible. The in vivo experiment shows that the PU/PAAM/Gel chemically cross-linked scaffold displays the desirable osteogenic capability. This UV-curable 3D printed self-adaptive and degradable hydrogel scaffold holds great potential for nonload-bearing bone repair.

Abstract
For skin contact medical devices, realizing a strong contact with skin is essential to precisely detect human biological information and enable human-machine interaction. In this study, we aimed to fabricate and characterize an inclusion complex film (ICF) for skin adhesion using α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and nonanyl group-modified PVA (C9-PVA) under wet conditions. Based on the water insolubility of C9-PVA and the inclusion ability of α-CD for alkyl groups, α-CD/C9-PVA ICF was prepared. Among the prepared ICFs, α-CD/2.5C9-PVA (w/w = 0.5) ICF showed the highest bonding strength and T-peeling strength to porcine skin. Furthermore, α-CD/2.5C9-PVA (w/w = 0.5) ICF had better water vapor transmission rate than that of commercial tapes. In addition, the ion permeability test revealed that α-CD/2.5C9-PVA (w/w = 0.5) ICF exhibited excellent Na and Cl ion permeability. These results demonstrated that the multi-functional α-CD/2.5C9-PVA (w/w = 0.5) ICF can be a promising adhesive for skin contact medical devices.

Multifunctional hydrogels that integrate stretchability, adhesion, self-healing, and antibacterial properties may find use in a variety of fields including electronic skin, wound dressings, and wearable devices; however, traditional hydrogels often exhibit short-term adhesiveness, poor mechanical properties, and a lack of antibacterial activity. Herein, a plant-inspired polyacrylamide-soybean protein isolate-pyrogallol/borax (PAM-SPI-P/B) hydrogel has been developed using a facile green method based on dynamic coordination cross-linking between pyrogallol (PG) and borax. The PG-borax dynamic bonds adjusted the network structure of the hydrogels to provide greater structural integrity to the PAM-SPI double network. This hydrogel possessed a high mechanical strength (large elongation up to 760% and compressive strength up to 1.25 MPa at 80% strain), low swelling ratio, and self-healing properties. Inspired by natural polyphenols that contain adhesive molecules, the addition of pyrogallol provided the hydrogel excellent adhesion to various hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrates. And with the inhibition of pyrogallol autoxidation due to the borax protection, the hydrogel showed repeatable and durable adhesion over 20 cycles. The obtained hydrogels also exhibited good antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus because they were based on pyrogallol and borax, which have antibacterial properties. Accordingly, we envision that the PAM-SPI-P/B hydrogels have great potential for use in biomimetic tissues and biosensors.

Abstract
Aerogel is a kind of high-performance lightweight open-porous solids with ultralow density, high specific surface area, and broad application in many emerging fields including biotechnology, energy, environment, aerospace, etc. A giant challenge remains in preventing of the hydrophilic aerogel framework shrinkage when replacing of solvent with air in its extremely abundant nanosized pores during its fabrication process in ambient conditions. In this work, started from a linear polymeric precursor with further condensation reaction, superhydrophilic silica aerogels with self-reinforced microstructure and the least volume shrinkage have been successfully obtained via ambient pressure drying process without use of any additives in the presence of a low surface tension solvent. The resulting superhydrophilic silica aerogels possess specific surface area up to 1065 m2/g, pore volume up to 2.17 cm3/g and density down to 84 mg/cm3, and these values are comparable to those of their counterparts obtained by supercritical CO2 drying process. Moreover, as an application demonstration, the bioinspired hydrogels with desirable mechanical flexibility and adhesive performance at extremely harsh environment (e.g., below -50 °C) have been successfully synthesized by mimicking carrier of a functional bioagent with the resulting superhydrophilic silica aerogel microparticles. Our work has made a significant step forward for future high-performance hydrophilic aerogels with self-enhanced microstructures and the resulting superhydrophilic aerogels have shown great potentials in making functional hydrogels with bionic properties.
