Abstract
Molecular self-assembly has attracted much attention as a potential approach for fabricating nanostructured functional materials. To date, energy-efficient fabrication of nano-objects such as nanofibers, nanorings, and nanotubes is achieved using well-designed self-assembling molecules. However, the application of molecular self-assembly to industrial manufacturing processes remains challenging because regulating the positions and directions of self-assembled products is difficult. Non-covalent molecular assemblies are also too fragile to allow mechanical handling. The present work demonstrates the macroscopic alignment of self-assembled molecular fibers using compression. Specifically, the macroscopic bundling of self-assembled nanofibers is achieved following dispersion in water. These fiber bundles can also be chemically crosslinked without drastic changes in morphology via trialkoxysilyl groups. Subsequently, vertically oriented porous membranes can be produced rapidly by slicing the bundles. This technique is expected to be applicable to various functional self-assembled fibers and can lead to the development of innovative methods of producing anisotropic nanostructured materials.

Abstract
A self-healing gel with self-healing kinetics that can be regulated by heat is developed. The gel is composed of a polymer having benzophenone (BP) substituents, which are cross-linked with a main alkyl chain via ester bonds, titanium chloride, and zinc. This gel material shows a self-healing property at room temperature. Also, its self-healing behavior can be accelerated by heating the gel. This gel having self-healing kinetics that can be regulated by heat is favorable for practical use. When we want to use a self-healing property as a stop-gap measure, a rapid self-healing property is demanded. On the other hand, when we want materials repaired beautifully or decomposed surfaces need to be attached beautifully, a slow self-healing property is favorable. These opposite demands can be answered by the gel with self-healing kinetics that can be regulated by heat.

Abstract
Laponite® (LAP) is an intensively studied synthetic clay due to the versatility given by its layered structure, which makes it usable in various applications. This review describes the multifaceted properties and applications of LAP in aqueous dispersions and gel systems. The first sections of the review discuss the LAP structure and the interactions between clay discs in an aqueous medium under different conditions (such as ionic strength, pH, temperature, and the addition of polymers) in order to understand the function of clay in tailoring the properties of the designed material. Additionally, the review explores the aging phenomenon characteristic of LAP aqueous dispersions as well as the development of shake-gels by incorporating LAP. The second part shows the most recent studies on materials containing LAP with possible applicability in the drilling industry, cosmetics or care products industry, and biomedical fields. By elucidating the remarkable versatility and ease of integration of LAP into various matrices, this review underscores its significance as a key ingredient for the creation of next-generation materials with tailored functionalities.

Abstract
Complex coacervates are a versatile platform to mimic the structure of living cells. In both living systems and artificial cells, a macromolecularly crowded condensate phase has been shown to be able to modulate enzyme activity. Yet, how enzyme activity is affected by interactions (particularly with cationic charges) inside coacervates is not well studied. Here, we synthesized a series of amino-functional polymers to investigate the effect of the type of amine and charge density on coacervate formation, stability, protein partitioning, and enzyme function. The polymers were prepared by RAFT polymerization using as monomers aminoethyl methacrylate (AEAM), 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), imidazolepropyl methacrylamide (IPMAm), and [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride (TMAEMA). Membranized complex coacervate artificial cells were formed with these polycations and an anionic amylose derivative. Results show that polycations with reduced charge density result in higher protein mobility in the condensates and also higher enzyme activity. Insights described here could help guide the use of coacervate artificial cells in applications such as sensing, catalysis, and therapeutic formulations.

Abstract
Tissue adhesives have attracted intense and increasing interest due to their multiple biomedical applications. Despite the rapid development of adhesive hydrogels, huge challenges remain for materials that can ensure strong adhesion and seal hemostasis in aqueous and blood environments. To address this issue, we have developed an innovative design of PAA-based coacervate hydrogel with strong wet adhesion capability through a simple mixture of PAA copolymers with oxidized-carboxymethylcellulose (OCMC), and tannic acid (TA) as the main components, and structurally enhanced with natural clays (Laponite XLG). The absorbed TA provides solid adhesion to dry and wet substrates via multiple interactions, which endows the XLG-enhanced coacervate with the desired underwater adhesive strength. More importantly, the dielectric constant is introduced to evaluate the polarity of the tested samples, which may be used as guidance for the design of mussel-inspired adhesives with even better underwater adhesive properties. In vivo hemorrhage experiments further confirmed that the hydrogel adhesive dramatically shortened the hemostatic time to tens of seconds. Overall, the persistent adhesion and acceptable cytocompatibility of the hydrogel nanocomposite make it a promising alternative suture-free approach for rapid hemostasis at different length scales and is expected to be extended to clinical application for other organ injuries.

Abstract
The multivalency of bioligands in living systems brings inspiration for not only the discovery of biological mechanisms but also the design of extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking biomaterials. However, designing controllable multivalency construction strategies is still challenging. Herein, we synthesized a series of well-defined multivalent antimicrobial peptide polymers (mAMPs) by clicking ligand molecules onto polymers prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The multiple cationic ligands in the mAMPs could enhance the local disturbance of the anionic phospholipid layer of the bacterial membrane through multivalent binding, leading to amplification of the bactericidal effect. In addition to multivalency-enhanced antibacterial activity, mAMPs also enable multivalency-assisted hydrogel fabrication with an ECM-like dynamic structure. The resultant hydrogel with self-healing and injectable properties could be successfully employed as an antibacterial biomaterial scaffold to treat infected skin wounds. The multivalency construction strategy presented in this work provides new ideas for the biomimetic design of highly active and dynamic biomaterials for tissue repair and regeneration.

Bioact Mater 2023; 25:415-429.

Abstract
Despite decades of efforts, state-of-the-art synthetic burn dressings to treat partial-thickness burns are still far from ideal. Current dressings adhere to the wound and necessitate debridement. This work describes the first "supramolecular hybrid hydrogel (SHH)" burn dressing that is biocompatible, self-healable, and on-demand dissoluble for easy and trauma-free removal, prepared by a simple, fast, and scalable method. These SHHs leverage the interactions of a custom-designed cationic copolymer via host-guest chemistry with cucurbit[7]uril and electrostatic interactions with clay nanosheets coated with an anionic polymer to achieve enhanced mechanical properties and fast on-demand dissolution. The SHHs show high mechanical strength (>50 kPa), self-heal rapidly in ∼1 min, and dissolve quickly (4-6 min) using an amantadine hydrochloride (AH) solution that breaks the supramolecular interactions in the SHHs. Neither the SHHs nor the AH solution has any adverse effects on human dermal fibroblasts or epidermal keratinocytes in vitro. The SHHs also do not elicit any significant cytokine response in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo murine experiments show no immune or inflammatory cell infiltration in the subcutaneous tissue and no change in circulatory cytokines compared to sham controls. Thus, these SHHs present excellent burn dressing candidates to reduce the time of pain and time associated with dressing changes.

Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogels exhibit promising potential in biological and clinical fields due to their special dynamic properties. However, most existing supramolecular hydrogels suffer from poor mechanical strength, which severely limits their applications. Here in this study, the Kinetically Interlocking Multiple-Units (KIMU) strategy was applied to the hyaluronan networks by introducing different supramolecular interaction motifs in an organized and alternative manner. Our strategy successfully elevated the energy barrier of crosslinker dissociation to 103.0 kJ mol-1 and increased the storage modulus of hydrogels by 78 % with the intrinsic dynamic properties preserved. It can be expected that this method would bring a convenient and effective route to fabricate novel supramolecular materials with excellent mechanical properties.

Abstract
Tough natural materials such as nacre, bone, and silk exhibit multiscale hierarchical structures where distinct toughening mechanisms occur at each level of the hierarchy, ranging from molecular uncoiling to microscale fibrillar sliding to macroscale crack deflection. An open question is whether and how the multiscale design motifs of natural materials can be translated to the development of next-generation biomimetic hydrogels. To address this challenge, we fabricate strong and tough hydrogel with architected multiscale hierarchical structures using a freeze-casting-assisted solution substitution strategy. The underlying multiscale multimechanisms are attributed to the gel's hierarchical structures, including microscale anisotropic honeycomb-structured fiber walls and matrix, with a modulus of 8.96 and 0.73 MPa, respectively; hydrogen bond-enhanced fibers with nanocrystalline domains; and cross-linked strong polyvinyl alcohol chains with chain-connecting ionic bonds. This study establishes a blueprint of structure-performance mechanisms in tough hierarchically structured hydrogels and can inspire advanced design strategies for other promising hierarchical materials.

Abstract
Structural colors originate by constructive interference following reflection and scattering of light from nanostructures with periodicity comparable to visible light wavelengths. Bright and noniridescent structural colorations are highly desirable. Here, we demonstrate that bright noniridescence structural coloration can be easily and rapidly achieved from suspended two-dimensional nanosheets of a clay mineral. We show that brightness is enormously improved by using double clay nanosheets, thus optimizing the clay refractive index that otherwise hampers structural coloration from such systems. Intralayer distances, and thus the structural colors, can be precisely and reproducibly controlled by clay concentration and ionic strength independently, and noniridescence is readily and effortlessly obtained in this system. Embedding such clay-designed nanosheets in recyclable solid matrices could provide tunable vivid coloration and mechanical strength and stability at the same time, thus opening a previously unknown venue for sustainable structural coloration.

Abstract
Hydrogels exhibit water-insoluble three-dimensional polymeric networks capable of absorbing large amounts of biological fluids. Both natural and synthetic polymers are used for the preparation of hydrogel networks. Such polymeric networks are fabricated through chemical or physical mechanisms of crosslinking. Chemical crosslinking is accomplished mainly through covalent bonding, while physical crosslinking involves self-healing secondary forces like H-bonding, host-guest interactions, and antigen-antibody interactions. The building blocks of the hydrogels play an important role in determining the mechanical, biological, and physicochemical properties. Hydrogels are used in a variety of biomedical applications like diagnostics (biodetection and bioimaging), delivery of therapeutics (drugs, immunotherapeutics, and vaccines), wound dressing and skin materials, cardiac complications, contact lenses, tissue engineering, and cell culture because of the inherent characteristics like enhanced water uptake and structural similarity with the extracellular matrix (ECM). This review highlights the recent trends and advances in the roles of hydrogels in biomedical and therapeutic applications. We also discuss the classification and methods of hydrogels preparation. A brief outlook on the future directions of hydrogels is also presented.

Abstract
Luminescent hydrogels have shown great potential in many fields, such as lighting, display, imaging, and sensing, because of their unique optical properties, biocompatibility, and easy processing. Organic-inorganic hybrid self-assembly can not only enhance the hydrogels' mechanical strength, but also retain their self-healing ability. Herein, a luminescent supramolecular hydrogel is reported, which is formed via self-assembly of the negatively charged Laponite nanosheets and cationic lanthanide coordination polymer. The corresponding results reveal that the multiple binding interaction between Laponite and the polymeric binder is vital for improving the mechanical performance of the obtained luminescent supramolecular hydrogel.

Abstract
Introducing double physical crosslinking reagents (i.e., a hydrophobic monomer micelle and the LAPONITE® XLG nano-clay) into the copolymerization reaction of hydrophilic monomers of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) and acrylamide (AM) is reported here by a thermally induced free-radical polymerization method, resulting in a highly tough and rapid self-healing dual-physical crosslinking poly(DMAA-co-AM) hydrogel. The mechanical and self-healing properties can be finely tuned by varying the weight ratio of nanoclay to DMAA. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the resulting nanocomposite hydrogel can be modulated in the range of 7.5–60 kPa and 1630–3000%, respectively. Notably, such a tough hydrogel also exhibits fast self-healing properties, e.g., its self-healing rate reaches 48% and 80% within 2 and 24 h, respectively. Introducing a micelle and LAPONITE® XLG nano-clay into N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA)/acrylamide (AM) copolymerization reactions results in a highly tough and rapid self-healing dual-physical crosslinking poly(DMAA-co-AM) hydrogel.![]()

Abstract
We developed a photoreactive molecular glue, BPGlue-N3, which can provide a universal strategy to enhance the efficacy of DNA aptamers by temporary-to-permanent stepwise stabilization of their conjugates with target proteins. As a proof-of-concept study, we applied BPGlue-N3 to the SL1 (DNA aptamer)/c-Met (target protein) conjugate system. BPGlue-N3 can adhere to and temporarily stabilize this aptamer/protein conjugate multivalently using its guanidinium ion (Gu+) pendants that form a salt bridge with oxyanionic moieties (e.g., carboxylate and phosphate) and benzophenone (BP) group that is highly affinitive to DNA duplexes. BPGlue-N3 is designed to carry a dual-mode photoreactivity; upon exposure to UV light, the temporarily stabilized aptamer/protein conjugate reacts with the photoexcited BP unit of adhering BPGlue-N3 and also a nitrene species, possibly generated by the BP-to-N3 energy transfer in BPGlue-N3. We confirmed that SL1, covalently conjugated with c-Met, hampered the binding of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) onto c-Met, even when the SL1/c-Met conjugate was rinsed prior to the treatment with HGF, and suppressed cell migration caused by HGF-induced c-Met phosphorylation.

Abstract
Injectable dual crosslinking hydrogels hold great promise to improve therapeutic efficacy in minimally invasive surgery. Compared with prefabricated hydrogels, injectable hydrogels can be implanted more accurately into deeply enclosed sites and repair irregularly shaped lesions, showing great applicable potential. Here, the current fabrication considerations of injectable dual crosslinking hydrogels are reviewed. Besides, the progress of the hydrogels used in corresponding applications and emerging challenges are discussed, with detailed emphasis in the fields of bone and cartilage regeneration, wound dressings, sensors and other less mentioned applications for their more hopeful employments in clinic. It is envisioned that the further development of the injectable dual crosslinking hydrogels will catalyze their innovation and transformation in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Polyion complex (PIC) hydrogels attract lots of studies because of the relatively definite network and excellent mechanical strength. However, the stability of the PIC hydrogel is poor in salt solutions due to the counter-ion screening effect, which restricts their applications. Besides, novel functions of the PIC hydrogels also need to be explored. In this work, a multifunctional PIC hydrogel is prepared by polymerizing a hydrophobic monomer 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate in poly(styrene sulfonic acid) aqueous solution with the presence of counter-ion NaCl. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, water content, and mechanical properties of the hydrogel are investigated. The introduction of hydrophobic weak electrolyte into the hydrogel brings stable excellent mechanical strength even in NaCl solutions with high concentration and pH modulated softening and strengthening. Surprisingly, the hydrogel swells but is strengthened in HCl, while it shrinks but is softened in NaOH. pH induced shape memory and unique spontaneous shape changing is thus presented benefiting from this synergistic effect. Moreover, information encryption is realized on the PIC hydrogel owing to the transmittance change and the different water absorption capability of the hydrogel at different states. This new kind of PIC hydrogel proposes a new smart material in continuously actuating soft machines and secretive information transformation.

Abstract
Polymer organogels formed through dynamic interactions are interesting for various applications. The fabrication of polymer organogels in polar solvents through ionic interaction is rare, although such organogels in non-polar organic solvents have been well studied. Herein, polymer organogels in a polar solvent N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) were fabricated from a triblock copolymer, poly(4-vinyl pyridine)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (4VPm-EGn-4VPm), and a fluorinated surfactant, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and their microphase separation and properties were studied. Ordered microphase separation and the crystalline structures were revealed by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), respectively. All the 4VPm-EGn-4VPm/PFOA organogels are sensitive to temperature, and the ratio of PFOA to pyridine groups reversibly. The polymer organogels are also responsive to triethylamine and triethylammonium acetate.

Abstract
Engineering dynamic systems or materials to respond to biological process is one of the major tasks in synthetic biology and will enable wide promising applications, such as robotics and smart medicine. Herein, a super-soft and dynamic DNA/dopamine-grafted-dextran hydrogel, which shows super-fast volume-responsiveness with high sensitivity upon solvents with different polarities and enables creation of electric circuits in response to microbial metabolism is reported. Synergic permanent and dynamic double networks are integrated in this hydrogel. A serials of dynamic hydrogel-based electric circuits are fabricated: 1) triggered by using water as switch, 2) triggered by using water and petroleum ether as switch pair, 3) a self-healing electric circuit; 4) remarkably, a microbial metabolism process which produces ethanol triggering electric circuit is achieved successfully. It is envisioned that the work provides a new strategy for the construction of dynamic materials, particularly DNA-based biomaterials; and the electric circuits will be highly promising in applications, such as soft robotics and intelligent systems.

Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogels have great potential as biomaterials for tissue engineering applications or vehicles for delivering therapeutic agents. Herein, a self-healing and pro-osteogenic hydrogel system is developed based on the self-assembly of laponite nanosheets and guanidinylated chitosan, where laponite works as a physical crosslinker with osteoinductive properties to form a network structure with a cationic guanidine group on chitosan chains. The hydrogels can be prepared with varying ratios of chitosan to laponite and display self-healing and injectable properties because of supramolecular forces as well as osteoinductive activity due to nanoclay. They enhance cell adhesion and promote osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In addition, the hydrogel is used as a malleable carrier for the demineralized bone matrix (DBM). The loading of the DBM does not affect the self-healing and injectable natures of hydrogels while enhancing the osteogenic capacity, indicating that advanced allograft bone formulations with carriers can facilitate handling and bone healing. This work provides the first demonstration of therapeutic supramolecular design for the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Given their durability and long-term stability, self-healable hydrogels have, in the past few years, emerged as promising replacements for the many brittle hydrogels currently being used in preclinical or clinical trials. To this end, the incompatibility between hydrogel toughness and rapid self-healing remains unaddressed, and therefore most of the self-healable hydrogels still face serious challenges within the dynamic and mechanically demanding environment of human organs/tissues. Furthermore, depending on the target tissue, the self-healing hydrogels must comply with a wide range of properties including electrical, biological, and mechanical. Notably, the incorporation of nanomaterials into double-network hydrogels is showing great promise as a feasible way to generate self-healable hydrogels with the above-mentioned attributes. Here, the recent progress in the development of multifunctional and self-healable hydrogels for various tissue engineering applications is discussed in detail. Their potential applications within the rapidly expanding areas of bioelectronic hydrogels, cyborganics, and soft robotics are further highlighted.

Abstract
Clay nanosheets (CNSs) have been widely used in the design of nanocomposite biomaterials. CNSs display a disk-like morphology with strong negatively charged surfaces. It has been shown that guanidinium-containing molecules can bind CNSs through noncovalent salt-bridge interactions and thus serve as "molecular glues" for CNSs. Making use of the guanidinium side chain in arginine, here, we designed novel arginine-rich elastomeric proteins to engineer protein-CNS nanocomposite hydrogels. Our results showed that these arginine-rich proteins can interact with CNSs effectively and can cross-link CNSs into hydrogels. Rheological measurements showed that mechanical properties of the resultant hydrogels depended on the arginine content in the arginine-rich proteins as well as CNS/protein concentration. Compared with hydrogels constructed from CNSs or proteins alone, the novel protein-CNS nanocomposite hydrogels show much improved mechanical properties. Our work opens up a new avenue to engineer functional protein hydrogels for various applications.

Abstract
Rheology, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis, zeta potential measurement, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and micro-FTIR and absorbance spectroscopy were used to enlighten the controversial literature about LAPONITE® materials. Our data suggest that pristine LAPONITE® in water does not form hydrogels induced by the so-called "house of cards" assembly, but rather forms Wigner glasses governed by repulsive forces. Ionic interactions between anisotropic LAPONITE® nanodiscs, sodium polyacrylate and inorganic salts afforded hydrogels that were transparent, self-standing, moldable, strong, and biocompatible with shear-thinning and self-healing behavior. An extensive study on the role of salts in the gelification process dictates a trend that relates the valence of cations with the viscoelastic properties of the bulk material (G' values follow the trend, monovalent < divalent < trivalent). These hydrogels present G' values up to 5.1 × 104 Pa, which are considered high values for non-covalent hydrogels. Hydrogels crosslinked with sodium phosphate salts are biocompatible, and might be valid candidates for injectable drug delivery systems due to their shear-thinning behavior with rapid self-healing after injection.

Abstract
Hydrogels are materials used in a variety of applications, ranging from tissue engineering to drug delivery. The incorporation of nanoparticles to yield composite hydrogels has gained substantial momentum over the years since these afford tailor-making and extend material mechanical properties far beyond those achievable through molecular design of the network component. Here, we review different procedures that have been used to integrate nanoparticles into hydrogels; the types of interactions acting between polymers and nanoparticles; and how these underpin the improved mechanical and optical properties of the gels, including the self-healing ability of these composite gels, as well as serving as the basis for future development. In a less explored approach, hydrogels have been used as dispersants of nanomaterials, allowing a larger exposure of the surface of the nanomaterial and thus a better performance in catalytic and sensor applications. Furthermore, the reporting capacity of integrated nanoparticles in hydrogels to assess hydrogel properties, such as equilibrium swelling and elasticity, is highlighted.

Abstract
Nano-clays (NCs) as a representative type of nano-materials are a source of inspiration for design of new biomedical materials with excellent performances. Research has shown that guanidinium ions (Gu+) can form non-covalent salt-bridge interactions with NCs, serving as "molecular glue" in the fabrication of NC-based composites. However, synthesis of the Gu+-containing molecules is always not easy. Since the natural amino acid arginine (Arg) possesses Gu+, Arg could potentially be a replacement for the synthetic molecules. To prove this possibility, nano-composites were constructed by combining model anisotropic NCs with Arg-modified nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP-Arg) and polyarginine (poly-Arg), respectively. Formation of molecular interactions between NCs and nHAP-Arg/poly-Arg was demonstrated by enhanced gelation behaviour of NCs. Through taking the unique advantage of Arg, this study can be readily implemented in constructing a variety of NC-based composites with diverse functionalities that are necessary for potential applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Wound management is a major global challenge and a big financial burden to the healthcare system due to the rapid growth of chronic diseases including the diabetes, obesity, and aging population. Modern solutions to wound management include hydrogels that dissolve on demand, and the development of such hydrogels is of keen research interest. The formation and subsequent on-demand dissolution of hydrogels is of keen interest to scientists and clinicians. These hydrogels have excellent properties such as tissue adhesion, swelling, and water absorption. In addition, these hydrogels have a distinctive capacity to form in situ and dissolve on-demand via physical or chemical reactions. Some of these hydrogels have been successfully used as a dressing to reduce bleeding in hepatic and aortal models, and the hydrogels remove easily afterwards. However, there is an extremely wide array of different ways to synthesize these hydrogels. Therefore, we summarize here the recent advances of hydrogels that dissolve on demand, covering both chemical cross-linking cases and physical cross-linking cases. We believe that continuous exploration of dissolution strategies will uncover new mechanisms of dissolution and extend the range of applications for hydrogel dressings.

Abstract
Polymeric chains crosslinked through supramolecular interactions-directional and reversible non-covalent interactions-compose an emerging class of modular and tunable biomaterials. The choice of chemical moiety utilized in the crosslink affords different thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of association, which in turn illustrate the connectivity and dynamics of the system. These parameters, coupled with the choice of polymeric architecture, can then be engineered to control environmental responsiveness, viscoelasticity, and cargo diffusion profiles, yielding advanced biomaterials which demonstrate rapid shear-thinning, self-healing, and extended release. In this review we examine the relationship between supramolecular crosslink chemistry and biomedically relevant macroscopic properties. We then describe how these properties are currently leveraged in the development of materials for drug delivery, immunology, regenerative medicine, and 3D-bioprinting (253 references).

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive hydrogels have been actively researched, and some of them have been put into practical use. When we create and use stimuli-responsive hydrogel materials, controlling stimuli responsiveness of hydrogels is a very important issue. In this research, we prepared hydrogels having single-network (SN) or double-network (DN) gel structures with the host-guest interaction groups cyclodextrin and methyl viologen and evaluated their stimuli responsiveness. The results of the tensile and compression tests showed that the hydrogels with SN and DN structures exhibited opposite stimuli responsiveness in response to the redox reaction of methyl viologen through the association and dissociation of the host molecule, β-cyclodextrin, and the guest molecule, methyl viologen. Spectroscopic measurements and rheological studies all indicated that this difference in stimuli responsiveness originated from the polymer-network structures. In addition, a chemically cross-linked DN gel was prepared and its redox responsiveness was evaluated.

A supramolecular biomimetic skin combining a wide spectrum of mechanical properties and multiple sensory capabilities. Nat Commun 2018; 9:1134. [PMID: 29555905 PMCID: PMC5859265 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-03456-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 206] [Impact Index Per Article: 34.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2017] [Accepted: 02/14/2018] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Biomimetic skin-like materials, capable of adapting shapes to variable environments and sensing external stimuli, are of great significance in a wide range of applications, including artificial intelligence, soft robotics, and smart wearable devices. However, such highly sophisticated intelligence has been mainly found in natural creatures while rarely realized in artificial materials. Herein, we fabricate a type of biomimetic iontronics to imitate natural skins using supramolecular polyelectrolyte hydrogels. The dynamic viscoelastic networks provide the biomimetic skin with a wide spectrum of mechanical properties, including flexible reconfiguration ability, robust elasticity, extremely large stretchability, autonomous self-healability, and recyclability. Meanwhile, polyelectrolytes' ionic conductivity allows multiple sensory capabilities toward temperature, strain, and stress. This work provides not only insights into dynamic interactions and sensing mechanism of supramolecular iontronics, but may also promote the development of biomimetic skins with sophisticated intelligence similar to natural skins.

Abstract
Hydrogels are commonly used as engineered extracellular matrix (ECM) mimics in applications ranging from tissue engineering to in vitro disease models. Ideal mechanisms used to crosslink ECM-mimicking hydrogels do not interfere with the biology of the system. However, most common hydrogel crosslinking chemistries exhibit some form of cross-reactivity. The field of bio-orthogonal chemistry has arisen to address the need for highly specific and robust reactions in biological contexts. Accordingly, bio-orthogonal crosslinking strategies have been incorporated into hydrogel design, allowing for gentle and efficient encapsulation of cells in various hydrogel materials. Furthermore, the selective nature of bio-orthogonal chemistries can permit dynamic modification of hydrogel materials in the presence of live cells and other biomolecules to alter matrix mechanical properties and biochemistry on demand. In this review, we provide an overview of bio-orthogonal strategies used to prepare cell-encapsulating hydrogels and highlight the potential applications of bio-orthogonal chemistries in the design of dynamic engineered ECMs.
