Abstract
Hydrogels are widely utilized in the sensor field, but their inadequate adhesion presents a significant obstacle. Herein, a new multifunctional BNMFs/PAA composite hydrogel was prepared via the incorporation of one-dimensional porous boron nitride microfibers (BNMFs) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) hydrogels. BNMFs, as a reinforcing filler, play a very important role in enhancing the properties of the composite hydrogels. In particular, the porous micrometer structure plays a unique role in improving the adhesion properties of PAA hydrogels. The steric hindrance and the rich hydroxyl functional groups coming from BNMFs are key factors for the excellent adhesion of the composite hydrogels. The composite hydrogels show strong adhesion to various substrate materials. For iron plates and biological tissues, the adhesion energy can reach 1377 J m-2 and 317 J m-2, respectively. In addition, the developed BNMFs/PAA composite hydrogels exhibit excellent mechanical properties. The fracture strain of the composite hydrogels is increased by 2.4 times compared to pure PAA hydrogels. The hydrogen bonds formed between BNMFs and PAA are conducive to the mechanical properties of the BNMFs/PAA composite hydrogels. Meanwhile, BNMFs as fillers play a role in carrying and dissipating force. Furthermore, the BNMFs/PAA composite hydrogels have excellent strain and pH response characteristics. This is because the crosslinking network of the composite hydrogels becomes loose after the addition of BNMFs, resulting in rapid ion transport pathways. Therefore, the developed BNMFs/PAA composite hydrogels will have broad application prospects in the fields of motion monitoring, intelligent skin and biological adhesives.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:7124-7130. [PMID: 38414987 PMCID: PMC10898448 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra07557e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Enhancement of the adsorption performance and recyclability of adsorbents is a crucial aspect of water treatment. Herein, we used one-dimensional porous boron nitride (PBN) as a carrier to load Fe3O4 nanoparticles for the preparation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles-functionalized porous boron nitride (Fe3O4/PBN) via a ball milling method. The high-energy ball milling promoted the creation of a negatively charged PBN surface and facilitated the uniform distribution of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the surface of PBN. The adsorption performance of Fe3O4/PBN toward cationic dyes could be significantly improved while no enhancement was observed for anionic dyes. The great adsorption performance of Fe3O4/PBN is due to its surface functional groups and surface defects formed in the ball milling process. Moreover, the strong interaction force between Fe3O4/PBN and cationic dyes promotes rapid initial adsorption due to their negatively charged surface. Magnetic measurements demonstrated that Fe3O4/PBN is superparamagnetic. The composites with low loadings of Fe3O4 nanoparticles could be quickly separated from the aqueous solution under a low applied magnetic field, improving their recyclability. This work highlights the role of ball milling in improving the adsorption performance of Fe3O4/PBN and greatly promotes the practical application of Fe3O4/PBN in the field of environmental purification.

Astaneh ME, Fereydouni N. A focused review on hyaluronic acid contained nanofiber formulations for diabetic wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127607. [PMID: 37871723 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023]
Abstract
The significant clinical challenge presented by diabetic wounds is due to their impaired healing process and increased risk of complications. It is estimated that a foot ulcer will develop at some point in the lives of 15-25 % of diabetic patients. Serious complications, including infection and amputation, are often led to by these wounds. In the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, nanofiber-based wound dressings have emerged in recent years as promising therapeutic strategies for diabetic wound healing. Hyaluronic acid (HA), among various nanofiber materials, has gained considerable attention due to its unique properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, and excellent moisture retention capacity. By promoting skin hydration and controlling inflammation, a crucial role in wound healing is played by HA. Wounds are also helped to heal faster by HA through the regulation of inflammation levels and signaling the body to build more blood vessels in the damaged area. Great potential in various applications, including wound healing, has been shown by the development and use of nanofiber formulations in medicine. However, challenges and limitations associated with nanofibers in medicine exist, such as reproducibility, proper characterization, and biological evaluation. By providing a biomimetic environment that enhances re-epithelialization and facilitates the delivery of active substances, nanofibers promote wound healing. In accelerating wound healing, promising results have been shown by HA-contained nanofiber formulations in diabetic wounds. Key strategies employed by these formulations include revascularization, modulation of the inflammation microenvironment, delivery of active substances, photothermal nanofibers, and nanoparticle-loaded fabrics. Particularly crucial is revascularization as it restores blood flow to the wound area, promoting healing. Wound healing can also be enhanced by modulating the inflammation microenvironment through controlling inflammation levels. Future perspectives in this field involve addressing the current challenges and limitations of nanofiber technology and further optimizing HA-contained nanofiber formulations for improved efficacy in diabetic wound healing. This includes exploring new fabrication techniques, enhancing the biocompatibility and biodegradability of nanofibers, and developing multifunctional nanofibers for targeted drug delivery. Not only does writing a review in the field of nanofiber-based wound dressings, particularly those containing hyaluronic acid, allow us to consolidate our current knowledge and understanding but also broadens our horizons. An opportunity is provided to delve deeper into the intricacies of this innovative therapeutic strategy, explore its potential and limitations, and envision future directions. By doing so, a contribution can be made to the ongoing advancements in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, ultimately improving the quality of life for patients with diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Nanofibers are frequently encountered in daily life as a modern material with a wide range of applications. The important advantages of production techniques, such as being easy, cost effective, and industrially applicable are important factors in the preference for nanofibers. Nanofibers, which have a broad scope of use in the field of health, are preferred both in drug delivery systems and tissue engineering. Due to the biocompatible materials used in their construction, they are also frequently preferred in ocular applications. The fact that they have a long drug release time as a drug delivery system and have been used in corneal tissue studies, which have been successfully developed in tissue engineering, stand out as important advantages of nanofibers. This review examines nanofibers, their production techniques and general information, nanofiber-based ocular drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering concepts in detail.

Abstract
In this study, Zn doped hydroxyapatite (Zn HA)/boron nitride nanofiber (BNNF)/poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) composite aligned fibrous scaffolds are produced with rotary jet spinning (RJS) for bone tissue engineering applications. It is hypothesized that addition of Zn HA and BNNF will contribute to cell viability as well as mechanical and osteogenic properties of the PCL scaffolds. Zn HA was synthesized by mixing Ca and P sources followed by sonication and aging whereas BNNF was obtained by the reaction of melamine with boric acid followed by freeze-drying for annealing of fibers. It is found that incorporation of both Zn HA and BNNF in PCL fibers resulted in higher calcium phosphate (CaP) precipitation on the scaffolds. Also, in vitro cell culture studies showed that presence of both Zn HA and BNNF also had synergistic effect for enhanced proliferation and osteogenic activity of Saos-2 cells. Mechanical properties of PCL-Zn HA-BNNF were found similar to that of non-load bearing bones. Furthermore, the presence of Zn HA and BNNF had synergistic effects to cell attachment, proliferation and spreading without causing cytotoxic effect on cells. The highest ALP activity was obtained in the PCL-Zn HA- BNNF group at days 7 and 14 due to release of zinc, calcium, phosphate and boron. Considering its mechanical and bioactivity properties, PCL-Zn HA-BNNF composite scaffolds hold promise as non-load bearing bone substitutes.

Abstract
A new composite hydrogel adsorbent for adsorption of Pb2+ has been prepared by combining porous boron nitride nanofibers (BNNFs) and the acrylamide and sodium acrylate copolymer (P(AANa-co-AM)) via a chemical crosslinking method. Porous BNNFs with abundant hydroxyl functional groups can form hydrogen bond interactions with carboxyl and amino functional groups of the copolymer in the composite hydrogel and carry and dissipate forces for the composite hydrogels. So the mechanical performances of the copolymer hydrogels can be effectively improved, which is very valuable for the practical application of the composite hydrogel to remove Pb2+ from waste water. The thermal stability and swelling performance of the pure copolymer hydrogels were also greatly improved. This is not only because of the strong hydrogen bond interactions but also the good thermal stability and flexibility of BNNFs. The composite hydrogel adsorbent shows superior adsorption capacity for Pb2+ (490.2 mg g-1) to most of the reported hydrogel adsorbents. The chemisorption dominates the whole adsorption process according to the pseudo-second-order kinetic and the Langmuir models. The composite hydrogel adsorbent also shows good reusability. Therefore, we believe that the prepared composite hydrogels will play an important role in removing Pb2+ from wastewater.

Abstract
Identification of adsorption centers with atomic levels of adsorbents is crucial to study the adsorption of formaldehyde (HCHO), especially for an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of HCHO capture. Herein, we investigate the HCHO adsorption performance of one-dimensional (1D) nanoporous boron nitride (BN) fiber, and explore the adsorption mechanism by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, including adsorption energy change and Bader charge change, and experimental study as well. Research shows that the 1D nanoporous BN fiber possesses a high concentration of Lewis pairs, which act as Lewis acid and Lewis base sites associated with the fiber's electron-deficient and electron-rich features. It is worth noting that the HCHO removal efficiency of a typical sample is as high as 91%. This work may open the door to the field of adsorption of other pollutants by constructing Lewis pairs in the future.

Abstract
In recent years, nanotechnology-based approaches have resulted in the development of new alternative sustainable technologies for water purification. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are an emerging class of materials for nanofiltration membranes. In this work, we report the production, characterisation and testing of a promising nanofiltration membrane made from water-exfoliated boron nitride (BN) 2D nanosheets. The membranes have been tested for water purification and removal of typical water-soluble dyes such as methyl orange, methylene blue and Evans blue, with the water-exfoliated BN membranes achieving retention values close to 100%. In addition, we compared the performance of membranes made from water-exfoliated BN with those produced from BN using sonication-assisted liquid exfoliation in selected organic solvents such as 2-propanol and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. It was found that membranes from the water-exfoliated BN showed superior performance. We believe this research opens up a unique opportunity for the development of new high-performance environmentally friendly membranes for nanofiltration and new sustainable separation technologies.

Abstract
New composite hydrogels with excellent self-healing properties were prepared by combining poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and boron nitride nanofibers (BNNFs) via a facile one-pot assembly method. One-dimensional porous BNNFs with high aspect ratio, abundant hydroxyl functional groups, especially excellent flexibility which has been first demonstrated in experiments, can act as a decent inorganic nanofillers to effectively improve the mechanical and self-healing properties of PVA hydrogels. Both the tensile and compression performances of hydrogels have been greatly improved by the trace addition of BNNFs (only ∼1.25 wt%). Compared with other BN nanofillers with spherical particles and lamellar morphologies, BNNFs with high aspect ratios and good flexibility play a unique role in the preparation of PVA composite hydrogels with cross-linked three-dimensional polymeric networks. This can be explained by the different topological structures of composite hydrogels formed. The abundant hydroxyl functional groups can form a lot of reversible hydrogen bonds with the molecular chains of PVA, so the as-prepared hydrogels have a high self-healing efficiency. The best healing efficiency of the composite hydrogels with 2.25 wt% BNNFs reaches as high as 97.31% after self-healing for 30 minutes. The good flexibility of BNNFs is beneficial to the movement of the PVA chain, which is beneficial to the self-healing process of composite hydrogels. The outstanding self-healing performance is very important for the application of composite hydrogels in the biomedical field and wearable flexible devices.

Abstract
A major health concern of the 21st century is the rise of multi-drug resistant pathogenic microbial species. Recent technological advancements have led to considerable opportunities for low-dimensional materials (LDMs) as potential next-generation antimicrobials. LDMs have demonstrated antimicrobial behaviour towards a variety of pathogenic bacterial and fungal cells, due to their unique physicochemical properties. This review provides a critical assessment of current LDMs that have exhibited antimicrobial behaviour and their mechanism of action. Future design considerations and constraints in deploying LDMs for antimicrobial applications are discussed. It is envisioned that this review will guide future design parameters for LDM-based antimicrobial applications.

Abstract
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanostructures are well-known for their good chemical stability, thermal conductivity and high elastic modulus. BN can be used as a filler in hydrogels to significantly improve their mechanical and thermal properties, to reinforce their biocompatibility and to provide self-healing capacity. Moreover, in contrast with their carbon equivalents, BN nanocomposites are transparent and electrically insulating. Herein, we present an overview of BN-based nanocomposite hydrogels. First, the properties of h-BN are described, as well as common exfoliation and functionalization techniques employed to obtain BN nanosheets. Then, methods for preparing BN-nanocomposite hydrogels are explained, followed by a specific overview of the relationship between the composition and structure of the nanocomposites and the functional properties. Finally, the main properties of these materials are discussed in view of the thermal, mechanical, and self-healing properties, along with the potential applications in tissue engineering, thermal management, drug delivery and water treatment.

Abstract
A novel hexagonal boron nitride modified reduced graphene oxide material was synthesized and used as the adsorbent for the solid-phase microextraction of seven polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from water and soil samples prior to their detection by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. Under optimal conditions, the linear response range of the analytes for water sample is 0.25-50 ng/mL with the correlation coefficients (r) ranging between 0.9953 and 0.9996. The linear range for soil sample is 1.0-400 ng/g with r ranging from 0.9959 to 0.9999. On the basis of the signal-to-noise ratio of 3, the limits of detections for the analytes ranged from 0.05 to 0.15 ng/mL for water samples, and from 0.3 to 0.5 ng/g for soil samples. The relative recoveries of the seven polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for water and soil samples were in the range of 79.55-120.0 and 78.76-120.8%, respectively. The relative standard deviations for the determination of the analytes in water and soil samples were lower than 11 and 10%, respectively. The method is simple and suitable for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon residues in water and soil samples.

Abstract
Boron nitride, also known as white graphene, has attracted extensive attention in the fields of adsorption, catalysis and hydrogen storage due to its excellent chemical properties. In this study, a phosphorus-doped boron nitride (P-BN) material was successfully prepared using red phosphorus as a dopant for the preparation of porous boron nitride precursors. The phosphorus content in the P-BN was adjusted based on the addition rate of phosphorus. The specific surface area of P-BN first increased and then decreased with increasing addition rate of phosphorus. The maximum specific surface area was 837.8 m2 g-1 when the phosphorus addition rate was 0.50. The P-BN prepared in the experiments was used as an adsorbent, and its adsorption capacity for heavy metals from flue gas was investigated. In particular, P-BN presented a stronger adsorption selectivity for zinc compared with other heavy metals, and its adsorption capacity for zinc was 5-38 times higher than for other heavy metals. The maximum adsorption capacity of P-BN for zinc and copper in a single heavy metal atmosphere was 69.45 and 53.80 mg g-1, respectively.

Abstract
C3N6H6·2H3BO3 (M·2B) is a highly promising precursor of boron nitride (BN) fibers due to its eco-friendly and low-cost fabrication. However, it is still unclear why the fibers can maintain their morphology in spite of drastic weight loss (nearly 80 wt%) during M·2B-to-BN pyrolysis. Herein, an interesting cracking and self-healing behavior of the heated M·2B fibers was observed at initial pyrolysis. In situ formed molten boron oxide (B2O3) was figured out to be the healing agent for the cracks and subsequently merged into the continuous matrix enclosing melamine/melem molecules, which subsequently acted as a nitrogen source. The B2O3 matrix helped to keep the fiber morphology undamaged under the second weight-loss stage in the pyrolysis process. This strategy of taking advantage of the in situ formed molten phase for healing cracks offers detailed guidance to prepare defect-free M·2B-derived BN fibers and would be significant in defect repair for other ceramics.

Abstract
Porous boron nitride (BN) is structurally analogous to activated carbon. This material is gaining increasing attention for its potential in a range of adsorption and chemical separation applications, with a number of recent proof-of-concept studies on the removal of organics from water. Today though, the properties of porous BN-i.e., surface area, pore network, chemistry-that dictate adsorption of specific organics remain vastly unknown. Yet, they will need to be optimized to realize the full potential of the material in the envisioned applications. Here, a selection of porous BN materials with varied pore structures and chemistries were studied for the adsorption of different organic molecules, either directly, through vapor sorption analyses or as part of a water/organic mixture in the liquid phase. These separations are relevant to the industrial and environmental sectors and are envisioned to take advantage of the hydrophobic character of the BN sheets. The materials were tested and regenerated and their physical and chemical features were characterized before and after testing. This study allowed identifying the adsorption mechanisms, assessing the performance of porous BN compared to benchmarks in the field and outlining ways to improve the adsorption performance further.

Abstract
As a kind of macroscopic boron nitride (BN) architectures, ultralight BN cellular materials with high porosity and great resilience would have a broad range of applications in energy and environment areas. However, creating such BN cellular materials in large sizes has still been proven challenging. Here, we report on the unique self-assembly of one-dimensional porous BN microfibers into an integral three-dimensional BN foam with open-cell cellular architectures. An ultrasonic-assisted self-assembly, freeze-drying, and high-temperature pyrolysis process has been developed for the preparation of cellular BN foam with a large size and desired shape. The developed BN foam has low density, high porosity (∼99.3%), great resilience, and excellent hydrophobic-lipophilic nature. The foam also exhibits excellent absorption capacities for a wide range of organic solvents and oils (wt % of ∼5130-7820%), as well as a high recovery efficiency (∼94%). Moreover, the unique hierarchical porous structure enables the foam to demonstrate a very low thermal conductivity (∼0.035 W/K/m). The excellent thermal insulation performance, superior mechanical property, and superb chemical and thermal stability enable the developed BN foam as an integrating multifunctional material in a broad range of high-end applications.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2-D) boron nitride (BN) nanomaterials have received intensive attention because of their attractive mechanical, thermal and chemical stability. Here we demonstrate, for the first time, the synthesis of ribbon-like hexagonal boron nitride nano-architectures (RLBN) through a simple self-sacrificed template method using the cheap boric acid and melamine as raw materials. After the freeze-drying and thermal decomposition process, uniform ultrathin RLBN with width of 200-500 nm and thick of a few nanometers can be obtained. The RLBN with high quality tremendously improves the mechanical and thermal properties of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) polymer. The decomposition temperature (Td) of PHA increases from 368 °C to 390 °C, while the thermal conductivity increases by 46.0% with RLBN doped. The ductility (strain at break), yield strength and tensile strength of PHA@RLBN composite are also enhanced by 52.3%, 49.4% and 6.01% respectively.

Abstract
We report the design and synthesis of a novel kind of organic-inorganic hybrid material via the incorporation of europium (III) β-diketonate complexes (Eu(TTA)3, TTA = 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone) into one-dimensional (1D) porous boron nitride (BN) microfibers. The developed Eu(TTA)3@BN hybrid composites with typical 1D fibrous morphology exhibit bright visible red-light emission on UV illumination. The confinement of Eu(TTA)3 within pores of BN microfibers not only decreases the aggregation-caused quenching in solid Eu(TTA)3, but also improves their thermal stabilities. Moreover, The strong interactions between Eu(TTA)3 and porous BN matrix result in an interesting energy transfer process from BN host to TTA ligand and TTA ligand to Eu3+ ions, leading to the remarkable increase of red emission. The synthetic approach should be a very promising strategy which can be easily expanded to other hybrid luminescent materials based on porous BN.
