A novel three-component biomimetic hydrogel composite was successfully prepared in this study, which was composed of triblock PEG-PCL-PEG copolymer (PECE), collagen and nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA). The microstructure and thermo-responsibility of the obtained PECE/Collagen/n-HA hydrogel composite were characterized. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) showed that the composite exhibited an interconnected porous structure. The rheological analysis revealed that the composite existed good thermo-sensitivity. In vivo biocompatibility and biodegradability was investigated by implanting the hydrogel composite in muscle pouches of rats for 3, 7, and 14 days. Moreover, the osteogenic capacity was evaluated by means of implanting the composite material in cranial defects of New Zealand White rabbits for 4, 12 and 20 weeks. In vivo performances confirmed that the biodegradable PECE/Collagen/n-HA hydrogel composite had good biocompatibility and better performance in guided bone regeneration than the self-healing process. Thus the thermal-response PECE/Collagen/n-HA hydrogel composite had the great potential in bone tissue engineering.

In this study, we developed a novel composite catalytic hydrogel, which integrates excellent mechanical properties, catalytic activity, and sensing performance. Discarded hydrogel sensors are reused as templates for in-situ generation of metal nanoparticles, and multifunctional hydrogels combining sensing and catalysis are realized. Polyacrylamide (PAM) provides a three-dimensional network structure, while octadecyl methacrylate (SMA) acts as a hydrophobic association center, enhancing the structural stability of the hydrogel.

In this study, a novel adsorbent called Ca@SP was developed by immobilizing microalgae protein (Spirulina platensis, SP) in an alginate matrix for enhanced Pb²⁺ removal from aqueous solutions. Synthesized via in situ crosslinking, Ca@SP leverages the synergistic effects of alginate's gel-forming ability and SP's N-rich biomass. Characterization of Ca@SP revealed a green spherical hydrogel with a BET specific surface area of 159.

The application of nanocomposites based on polyacrylamide hydrogels as well as silica nanoparticles in various tasks related to the petroleum industry has been rapidly developing in the last 10-15 years. Analysis of the literature has shown that the introduction of nanoparticles into hydrogels significantly increases their structural and mechanical characteristics and improves their thermal stability. Nanocomposites based on hydrogels are used in different technological processes of oil production: for conformance control, water shutoff in production wells, and well killing with loss circulation control.

Three-dimensional (3D) models with improved biomimicry are essential to reduce animal experimentation and drive innovation in tissue engineering. In this study, we investigate the use of alginate-based materials as polymeric inks for 3D bioprinting of osteogenic models using human bone marrow stem/stromal cells (hBMSCs). A composite bioink incorporating alginate, nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA), type I collagen (Col) and hBMSCs was developed and for extrusion-based printing.
