Abstract
In the context of functional and hierarchical materials, electrode reactions coupled with one or more chemical reactions constitute the most powerful bottom-up process for the electrosynthesis of film components and their electrodeposition, enabling the localized functionalization of conductive surfaces using an electrical stimulus. In analogy with developmental biological processes, our group introduced the concept of morphogen-driven film buildup. In this approach, the gradient of a diffusing reactive molecule or ion (called a morphogen) is controlled by an electrical stimulus to locally induce a chemical process (solubility change, hydrolysis, complexation, and covalent reaction) that induces a film assembly. One of the prominent advantages of this technique is the conformal nature of the deposits toward the electrode. This Feature Article presents the contributions made by our group and other researchers to develop strategies for the assembly of different polymer and nanoparticle/polymer hybrid films by using electrochemically generated reagents and/or catalysts. The main electrochemical-chemical approaches for conformal films are described in the case where (i) the products are noncovalent aggregates that spontaneously precipitate on the electrode (film electrodeposition) or (ii) new chemical compounds are generated, which do not necessarily spontaneously precipitate and enable the formation of covalent or noncovalent films (film electrosynthesis). The applications of those electrogenerated films will be described with a focus on charge storage/transport, (bio)sensing, and stimuli-responsive cargo delivery systems.

Abstract
In recent years, due to an expansion of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, there has been growing interest in biodegradable and antibacterial polymers that can be used in selected biomedical applications. The present work describes the synthesis of antimicrobial polylactide-copper alginate (PLA-ALG-Cu2+) composite fibers and their characterization. The composites were prepared by immersing PLA fibers in aqueous solution of sodium alginate, followed by ionic cross-linking of alginate chains within the polylactide fibers with Cu(II) ions to yield PLA-ALG-Cu2+ composite fibers. The composites, so prepared, were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV/VIS transmittance and attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy ATR-FTIR, and by determination of their specific surface area (SSA), total/average pore volumes (through application of the 5-point Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET)), and ability to block UV radiation (determination of the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of samples). The composites were also subjected to in vitro antimicrobial activity evaluation tests against colonies of Gram-negative (E. coli) and Gram-positive (S. aureus) bacteria and antifungal susceptibility tests against Aspergillus niger and Chaetomium globosum fungal mold species. All the results obtained in this work showed that the obtained composites were promising materials to be used as an antimicrobial wound dressing.

Abstract
This review is focused on new electrophoretic deposition (EPD) mechanisms for deposition biomacromolecules, such as biopolymers, proteins and enzymes. Among the rich literature sources of EPD of biopolymers, proteins and enzymes for biomedical applications we selected papers describing new fundamental deposition mechanisms. Such deposition mechanisms are of critical importance for further development of EPD method and its emerging biomedical applications. Our goal is to emphasize innovative ideas which have enriched colloid and interface science of EPD during recent years. We describe various mechanisms of cathodic and anodic EPD of charged biopolymers. Special attention is focused on in-situ chemical modification of biopolymers and crosslinking techniques. Recent innovations in the development of natural and biocompatible charged surfactants and film forming agents are outlined. Among the important advances in this area are the applications of bile acids and salts for EPD of neutral polymers. Such innovations allowed for the successful EPD of various electrically neutral functional polymers for biomedical applications. Particularly important are biosurfactant-polymer interactions, which facilitate dissolution, dispersion, charging, electrophoretic transport and deposit formation. Recent advances in EPD mechanisms addressed the problem of EPD of proteins and enzymes related to their charge reversal at the electrode surface. Conceptually new methods are described, which are based on the use of biopolymer complexes with metal ions, proteins, enzymes and other biomolecules. This review describes new developments in co-deposition of biomacromolecules and future trends in the development of new EPD mechanisms and strategies for biomedical applications.

Abstract
This paper reports the core-shell structure effects in calcium alginate (CaALG) microbeads due to the threshold water level for phase transition and correlates these properties with respect to pH and electrical conductivity. Further, in this study, we used a novel microfluidic device for drug release testing to study the programmed release of risedronate (RIS-anti-osteoporotic drug) encapsulated in pH-responsive CaALG-chitosan (CHT) microbeads. Our microfluidic device contains a single straight microchannel containing a steplike barrier design used to restrict the mobility of the microbeads at the sample detection zone. For optical and fluorescence microscopy, single fluorescently labeled CaALG-CHT microbead containing RIS was placed in the sample detection zone by flowing through the inlet port with ultrapure water. The RIS release behavior from the microbeads at different pH (2.1, 4, 6.8, and 7.4) conditions was determined by using a spectrophotometer connected to the outlet port of the device. Results of our first study showed that the decrease in the concentration of CaCl2 increases the swelling rate in CaALG microbeads. Maximum swelling was achieved with the lowest molar concentration of CaCl2 used for fabrication of CaALG microbeads. Further, electrical current-voltage characteristic shows the nature of ionic mobility with respect to varying levels of pH indicating electrokinetic forces developed in the CaALG microbeads. By using a microfluidic device for drug release testing, we demonstrated that a sustained release delivery system for RIS can be prepared by coating with pH-sensitive and biodegradable CaALG-CHT. The CaALG-CHT microbeads used for encapsulating RIS are resistant to the acidic environment of the stomach. This may improve the therapeutic effectiveness and reduce the gastric adverse effects associated with RIS by preventing its decomposition in the acidic condition of stomach. The newly developed microfluidic device for drug release testing may find applications in screening novel drugs and delivery systems.

Abstract
Macromolecular coatings play an important role in many technological areas, ranging from the car industry to biosensors. Among the different coating technologies, electrochemically triggered processes are extremely powerful because they allow in particular spatial confinement of the film buildup up to the micrometer scale on microelectrodes. Here, we review the latest advances in the field of electrochemically triggered macromolecular film buildup processes performed in aqueous solutions. All these processes will be discussed and related to their several applications such as corrosion prevention, biosensors, antimicrobial coatings, drug-release, barrier properties and cell encapsulation. Special emphasis will be put on applications in the rapidly growing field of biosensors. Using polymers or proteins, the electrochemical buildup of the films can result from a local change of macromolecules solubility, self-assembly of polyelectrolytes through electrostatic/ionic interactions or covalent cross-linking between different macromolecules. The assembly process can be in one step or performed step-by-step based on an electrical trigger affecting directly the interacting macromolecules or generating ionic species.
