We have demonstrated the preparation of an ordered hole pattern via a simple colloidal assembly technique and a sol-gel process without the use of any special equipment to enhance light extraction from polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs). From two-dimensional (2D) polystyrene (PS) colloidal crystals, 2D TiO2 honeycomb structures were easily obtained after depositing TiO(x) sol solution onto the colloidal crystals by a doctor blade technique and removing the PS colloidal particles. In order to optimize the thickness of the deposited TiO(x) materials for fabricating 2D TiO2 honeycomb structures, the concentration of the TiO(x) sol solution was controlled. By applying the 2D TiO2 honeycomb structure on the backside of the glass substrate, the efficiency of a polymer LED, compared to the device without the structure, was increased without a significant change in the electroluminescence spectrum. This enhancement is attributed to the improved light extraction, which is due to the suppression of total internal reflection at the interface between the glass substrate and the air.

Hexagonal TiO nanotubes (hTNTs) mimic a honeycomb structure, indicating their high potential as implantable materials due to their superior mechanical, chemical, and biological properties. However, the fabrication of hTNTs with a hexagonal base and six rectangular sides poses significant challenges, underscoring the importance of this research. This study developed a novel sonoelectrochemical method for synthesizing uniform hTNTs and evaluated the influence of anodizing parameters on their morphology.

Article Synopsis
- Implant-associated infections (IAIs) are a major risk in orthopedic surgery because they interfere with bone healing and the immune system.
- A novel drug delivery system, based on a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), was created to release glucose oxidase in an acidic infection environment, promoting disinfection.
- The ZIF system not only prevents infections but also enhances bone repair by improving the immune environment and reducing inflammation, showcasing its potential for clinical use against IAIs.

Re-endothelialization has been recognized as a promising strategy to address the tissue hyperplasia and subsequent restenosis which are major complications associated with vascular implant/interventional titanium devices. However, the uncontrollable over-proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) limits the clinical application of numerous modified strategies. Herein, a novel modified strategy involving with a two-step anodic oxidation and annealing treatment was proposed to achieve rapid re-endothelialization function regulated by regular honeycomb nanotexture and specific anatase phase on the titanium surface.
