Dynamically bonded, tough, and conductive MXene@oxidized sodium alginate: chitosan based multi-networked elastomeric hydrogels for physical motion detection.

Biopolymer-based conductive hydrogels (HGs) are promising candidates for preparing environmentally friendly flexible electronics. However, it is still a great challenge to synthesize biopolymer-based tough, self-healable, and fast strain recoverable HGs. Herein, a facile strategy is demonstrated to synthesize stretchable, self-recoverable, conductive, and tough HGs strain sensors through the formation of multi-dynamic interactions (i.

Immobilization on graphene oxide improves the thermal stability and bioconversion efficiency of D-psicose 3-epimerase for rare sugar production.

D-Psicose (D-ribo-2-hexulose or D-allulose), an epimer of D-fructose is considered as a rare low-calorie sugar displaying important physiological functions. Enzymatic production using ketose 3-epimerases is the feasible process for the production of D-Psicose. However, major drawbacks in application of ketose 3-epimerases are bioconversion efficiency and reusability of the enzyme.
