Abstract
Traditional optical waveguides or mediums are often silica-based materials, but their applications in biomedicine and healthcare are limited due to the poor biocompatibility and unsuitable mechanical properties. In term of the applications in human body, a biocompatible hydrogel system with excellent optical transparency and mechanical flexibility could be beneficial. In this review, we explore the different designs of hydrogel-based optical waveguides derived from natural and synthetic sources. We highlighted key developments such as light emitting contact lenses, implantable optical fibres, biosensing systems, luminating and fluorescent materials. Finally, we expand further on the challenges and perspectives for hydrogel waveguides to achieve clinical applications.

Abstract
Hydrogels have emerged as powerful building blocks to develop various soft bioelectronics because of their tissue-like mechanical properties, superior bio-compatibility, the ability to conduct both electrons and ions, and multiple stimuli-responsiveness. However, hydrogels are vulnerable to mechanical damage, which limits their usage in developing durable hydrogel-based bioelectronics. Self-healing hydrogels aim to endow bioelectronics with the property of repairing specific functions after mechanical failure, thus improving their durability, reliability, and longevity. This review discusses recent advances in self-healing hydrogels, from the self-healing mechanisms, material chemistry, and strategies for multiple properties improvement of hydrogel materials, to the design, fabrication, and applications of various hydrogel-based bioelectronics, including wearable physical and biochemical sensors, supercapacitors, flexible display devices, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), implantable bioelectronics, etc. Furthermore, the persisting challenges hampering the development of self-healing hydrogel bioelectronics and their prospects are proposed. This review is expected to expedite the research and applications of self-healing hydrogels for various self-healing bioelectronics.

The anti-counterfeiting technology of banknotes, bills and negotiable securities is constantly copied, and it is urgent to upgrade its anti-counterfeiting technology. In view of the defect of easy replication of single-wavelength anti-counterfeiting technology, the bonded copolymer PMEuTb was synthesized, employing the technique of first coordination and then polymerization. The molecular structure of copolymer PMEuTb was confirmed by infrared spectrum and UV-vis absorption spectrum. The internal mechanism of negative correlation between initiator concentration and number-average molecular weight Mn of the copolymer was revealed, and the positive correlation between Mn and luminescent behavior of the copolymer was analyzed. The luminescent properties of copolymer PMEuTb with initiator amount of 0.1% were investigated, the copolymer PMEuTb exhibits dual-wavelength emission of green light and red light under the excitation of ultraviolet light at 254 nm and 365 nm. The copolymer has the lifetime of 1.083 ms at 5D4-7F5 transition and 0.665 ms at 5D0-7F2 transition, which belongs to phosphorescent emitting materials. The copolymer remains stable at 240 °C, and variable temperature photoluminescent spectra demonstrate the luminescent intensity remains 85% at 333 K, meeting the requirements of room temperature phosphorescent anti-counterfeiting materials. The luminescent patterns made by standard screen printing display the green and cuticolor logo at 254 nm and 365 nm, respectively, indicating that the bonded phosphors PMEuTb has potential application in phosphorescent anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Rapid hemostasis, antibacterial effect and promotion of wound healing are the most important functions that wound dressings need to have. In this work, we designed and prepared a hydrogel with antibacterial effect, hemostatic ability and wound healing promotion using agar, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and tannic acid (TA). We performed a series of tests to characterize the structure and properties of AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogels. The results showed that the AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogels had good mechanical properties and excellent antibacterial ability as well as good hemocompatibility. The cytotoxicity results showed that the AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogels had good cytocompatibility. And the TA loaded hydrogels also presented some good performances in animal studies. In the liver hemostasis model, the AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogel showed good hemostatic ability. Also, the AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogel was able to promote wound healing in an S. aureus-infected rat wound model. More importantly, our research results demonstrated that compared to other polyphenols (such as proanthocyanidins), TA could better improve the mechanical properties, antibacterial ability and rapid hemostasis of hydrogels, which illustrated the uniqueness of TA. Therefore, the TA loaded hydrogel (AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogel) has the potential to be applied as a wound dressing.

Abstract
Multiple stretchable materials have been successively developed and applied to wearable devices, soft robotics, and tissue engineering. Organohydrogels are currently being widely studied and formed by dispersing immiscible hydrophilic/hydrophobic polymer networks or only hydrophilic polymer networks in an organic/water solvent system. In particular, they can not only inherit and carry forward the merits of hydrogels, but also have some unique advantageous features, such as anti-freezing and water retention abilities, solvent resistance, adjustable surface wettability, and shape memory effect, which are conducive to the wide environmental adaptability and intelligent applications. This review first summarizes the structure, preparation strategy, and unique advantages of the reported organohydrogels. Furthermore, organohydrogels can be optimized for electro-mechanical properties or endowed with various functionalities by adding or modifying various functional components owing to their modifiability. Correspondingly, different optimization strategies, mechanisms, and advanced developments are described in detail, mainly involving the mechanical properties, conductivity, adhesion, self-healing properties, and antibacterial properties of organohydrogels. Moreover, the applications of organohydrogels in flexible sensors, energy storage devices, nanogenerators, and biomedicine have been summarized, confirming their unlimited potential in future development. Finally, the existing challenges and future prospects of organohydrogels are provided.

Abstract
Enzymes are particularly attractive as biocatalysts for the green synthesis of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. However, the traditional enzyme purification and separation process is complex and inefficient, which limits the wide application of enzyme catalysis. In this paper, an efficient strategy for enzyme purification and immobilization in one step is proposed. A novel poly (ionic liquid)-styrene microsphere is prepared by molecular design and synthesis for adsorbing and purifying high activity lipase from fermentation broth directly. By optimizing the surface morphologies and charge of the microspheres, the enzyme loading is significantly improved. In order to further stabilize the catalytic environment of lipase, the resulting lipase/poly (ionic liquid)-styrene microspheres are immobilized in physical crosslinking hydrogel to obtain a complex lipase catalytic system, which can be prepared into various shapes according to the requirements of catalytic environment. In the actual catalytic reaction process, this complex lipase catalytic system exhibits excellent catalytic activity (6314.69 ± 21.27 U mg-1) and good harsh environment tolerance compared with the lipase fermentation broth (1672.87 ± 36.68 U mg-1). Under the condition of cyclic catalysis, the complex lipase catalytic system shows the outstanding reusability (After 8 cycles the enzymatic activity is still higher than that of the lipase fermentation broth) and is easily separated from the products.

Abstract
A novel white-light copolymer matched with 365 nm chips is prepared by bonding the vinyl-functionalized complexes Eu(TTA)2(Phen)(MAA), Tb(p-BBA)3(UA) and Zn(BTZ)(UA) to polysiloxaneprepolymer(synthesized by polycondensation of vinyltrimethoxysilane and diphenylsilanediol) through a technical route of polymerization after coordination. Its structure was characterized by infrared and ultraviolet. Under the excitation of 365 nm, when the ratio of the tricolor complexes is controlled to be 0.5: 3: 1.5, white light copolymer with CIE color coordinates of (0.327, 0.321) was obtained and packaged to get white light LED devices. After aging, the CIE color coordinates of the device change from (0.325, 0.329) to (0.341, 0.348), the color rendering index changes from 91 to 88, and the correlated color temperature changes from 5967 K to 5612 K. The loss of brightness is only 10.4%, which shows good resistance to UV aging. Moreover, the initial decomposition temperature of the copolymer is 235°C. The above results show that the bonding-type anti-ultraviolet copolymer phosphor has potential application in near ultraviolet LEDs.

Abstract
In this study, we have designed and synthesized a novel poly (4 - vinyl benzene boronic acid - co - N - vinyl pyrrolidone - co - 1 - vinyl - 3 - butylimidazolium bromide) hydrogel (VNV hydrogel) dressing with good self-healing properties and bactericidal activity. The gelation and self-healing of this hydrogel are mainly achieved by the formation of a dynamic B-O-B bond between the polymer chains, which is fractured by external forces and subsequently reformed. This self-healing mechanism is studied in detail through the molecular design of the hydrogel. The introduction of hydrophilic chemical groups can effectively improve the porous structures, water absorption and molecular migration. These properties have a positive effect on improving self-healing properties of dynamic crosslinked hydrogels. Furthermore, this VNV hydrogel dressing displays good antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus, and C. albicans. The application of VNV hydrogel dressing on rat wound surface can effectively accelerate wound healing. These results indicate that this novel VNV hydrogel dressing with good self-healing properties and bactericidal activity has potential applications in wound dressings.

Abstract
Luminescent hydrogels are emerging soft materials with applications in photoelectric, biomedicine, sensors and actuators, which are fabricated via covalently conjugation of luminophors to hydrogelators or physical loading of luminescent organic/inorganic materials into hydrogel matrices. Due to the intrinsic stimulus-responsiveness for hydrogels such as thermo-, pH, ionic strength, light and redox, luminescent hydrogels could respond to external physical or chemical stimuli through varying the luminescent properties such as colors, fluorescent intensity and so on, affording diverse application potential in addition to the pristine individual hydrogels or luminescent materials. Based on the rapid development of such area, here we systematically summarize and discuss the design protocols, properties as well as the applications of stimulus-responsive luminescent hydrogels. Because of the stimuli-responsiveness, biocompatibility, injectable and controllability of luminescent hydrogels, they are widely used as functional smart materials. We illustrate the applications of luminescent hydrogels. The future developments about luminescent hydrogels are also presented.

Abstract
Metallopolymers represent an interesting combination of inorganic metal complexes and polymers resulting in a variety of outstanding properties and applications. One field of interest are stimuli-responsive materials and, in particular, self-healing polymers. These systems could be achieved by the incorporation of terpyridine–lanthanoid complexes of Eu (III), Tb (III), and Dy (III) in the side chains of well-defined copolymers, which were prepared applying the reversible addition fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT)-polymerization technique. The metal complexes crosslink the polymer chains in order to form reversible supramolecular networks. These dynamics enable the self-healing behavior. The information on composition, reversibility, and stability of the complexes was obtained by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Moreover, self-healing experiments were performed by using 3D-microscopy and indentation.

Abstract
Polymer hydrogels with intense yet tunable fluorescence are of great research interest due to their wide potential use in biological imaging, sensing, information storage, etc. However, the conventional fluorophores such as naphthalimide and its derivatives are usually not recommended to prepare highly fluorescent hydrogels because of their aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) nature and spontaneous tendency to undergo fluorescence self-quenching in quasi-solid-state hydrogel systems. Additionally, local regulation over fluorescent behavior of hydrogels, despite being important, still remains underdeveloped. Herein, we report highly fluorescent polymeric hydrogels based on conventional ACQ-type naphthalimide fluorophores, followed by spatial and temporal control of their fluorescent behavior. The hydrogels were prepared by one-pot radical copolymerization of naphthalimide-containing monomer and acrylamide in chitosan-acetic acid solution. Their intense emission comes from synergetic anchoring and diluting effect of the protonated naphthalimide moieties grafted on polymer chains, which result in the electrostatic repulsion among ACQ luminogens and reduced PET (photoinduced electron transfer) effect from adjacent dimethylamine groups to naphthalimide fluorophores. After being deprotonated in alkaline conditions, both PET and the ACQ effect work again to greatly quench fluorescence, endowing the hydrogels with pH-sensitive emission behavior. These properties encourage us to develop a diffusion-reaction (D-R) method to spatially and temporally control their fluorescent behavior. Based on these results, the ion-transfer-printing-assisted D-R method was further developed to fabricate many high-precision and meaningful fluorescent patterns on hydrogels. These fluorescent patterns are invisible under daylight but become vivid under specific UV light illumination, suggesting their wide potential applications in information security and transmission.

Abstract
In this work, to obtain a novel composite hydrogel with high mechanical strength, fluorescence and degradable behavior for bone tissue engineering, we prepare a nanofiller and double-network (DN) structure co-enhanced carbon dots/hydroxyapatite/poly (vinyl alcohol) (CDs/HA/PVA) DN hydrogel. The composite hydrogels are fabricated by a combination of two fabrication techniques including chemical copolymerization and freezing‒thawing cycles, and further characterized by FTIR, XRD, etc. Additional investigations focus on the mechanical properties of the hydrogel with varying mass ratios of CDs to PVA, HA to PVA and different numbers of freezing/thawing cycles. The results show that the as-prepared CDs3.0/HA0.6/PVA DN9 hydrogel has optimized compression properties (Compression strength = 3.462 MPa, Young's modulus = 4.5 kPa). This is mainly caused by the synergism effect of the nanofiller and chemical and physical co-crosslinking. The water content and swelling ratio of the CDs/HA/PVA SN and DN gels are also systematically investigated to reveal the relationship of their microstructural features and mechanical behavior. In addition, in vitro degradation tests of the CDs/HA/PVA DN hydrogel show that the DN hydrogels have a prominent degradable behavior. So, they have potential to be used as high-strength, self-tracing bone substitutes in the biomedical engineering field.

Abstract
This paper reports a facile approach to synthesize a novel composite hydrogel with graphene oxide (GO), silica aerogel (SA), acrylamide (AM), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) through physical and chemical cross-linking method. The composite hydrogel (GO/SA PAM-PVA hydrogel) exhibits excellent solar evaporation property, good water transmission capacity, and floatability. The GO nanosheets dispersed homogeneously in the hydrogel could provide prominent photothermal conversion efficiency to heat water for evaporation. Excellent hydrophilicity of hydrogel promotes the water molecules transport from the bottom to the top of the hydrogel, which can increase evaporation efficiency. The SA in the hydrogel makes the GO/SA PAM-PVA hydrogel floatable, which is crucial for improving evaporation efficiency because evaporation occurs primarily at several molecular layers on the surface of the water. Furthermore, the self-cleaning ability derived from SA of the GO/SA PAM-PVA hydrogel surface provides a convenient recycling and reusing process for practical applications. The evaporation mass of seawater achieved by the GO/SA PAM-PVA hydrogel is 6 times higher than that of traditional process at an optical density of 2 kW m-2 for 30 min. Meanwhile, the evaporation efficiency of GO/SA PAM-PVA hydrogel remains good during reuse.

Abstract
Inspired by nature's water-repellent plants, the superhydrophobic surface (SHS) and the lubricant-infused surface (LIS) possess potentials in various fields of application. In particular, the edible SHS and the edible LIS (ELIS) are suitable for the role of high-valued liquid food residue reduction. In this study, the ELIS was introduced through a facile spray method and direct lubricant infusion. Four types of ELISs were fabricated: carnauba wax with ethyl oleate infusion, carnauba wax with cooking oil infusion, beeswax with ethyl oleate infusion, and beeswax with cooking oil infusion. The carnauba wax-coated ELIS has better slipperiness, while the beeswax-coated ELIS has better transparency. The ethyl oleate-infused ELIS possesses ELIS to SHS transformable ability, and the cooking oil-infused ELIS also possesses better slipperiness and has the affordable advantage. Moreover, the material selection of ELIS is accessible, renewable, green, recyclable, and edible. The results illustrated that ELIS has advantages of long-term effectiveness and impact resistance over edible SHS and indicated that the ELIS can be facilitated for the manufacture of a multifunctional liquid residue reduction surface with food safety assurance.

The superior mechanical properties of the hydrogels originate from the synergetic interactions of hydrogen bonding, molecular crystals, and hydrophobic interactions. The hydrogels are identifiable due to the introduction of the Eu(iii) organic complex [Eu(DBM)2(Phen)MA] into vinyl acetate and the identifiability of the hydrogel proves the uniformity of two types of polymers (Eu-PVAc and PVA) in the hydrogels. This strategy not only provides a new idea for the synthesis of the hydrogel containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials but also opens an avenue to fabricate multifunctional hydrogels applied in the field of bio-sensors, biological imaging, drug delivery and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Significant wastage of residual liquid food, such as milk, yogurt, and honey, in food containers has attracted great attention. In this work, a bio-inspired edible superhydrophobic interface was fabricated using U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved and edible honeycomb wax, arabic gum, and gelatin by a simple and low-cost method. The bio-inspired edible superhydrophobic interface showed multiscale structures, which were similar to that of a lotus leaf surface. This bio-inspired edible superhydrophobic interface displayed high contact angles for a variety of liquid foods, and the residue of liquid foods could be effectively reduced using the bio-inspired interface. To improve the adhesive force of the superhydrophobic interface, a flexible edible elastic film was fabricated between the interface and substrate material. After repeated folding and flushing for a long time, the interface still maintained excellent superhydrophobic property. The bio-inspired edible superhydrophobic interface showed good biocompatibility, which may have potential applications as a functional packaging interface material.
