Objective: To determine the effects of gelatin on the performance of calcium phosphate cement (CPC).
Methods: α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) bone cement was mixed with different concentrations of gelatin solutions. The CPC samples were soaked into simulated body fluid for one day before their compressive and bending strengths were measured. We also compared their waterproof performance, solidification time and surface topography.
Results: Gelatin solutions changed the performance of CPC. Optimal performance of CPC was achieved when the volume ratio of gelatin solution to CPC (Vgelatin solution:V(CPC liquid)) was set at 25:100, which increased compressive strength from (7.874 54 ± 0.660 97) MPa to (9.936 52 ± 0.433 17) MPa and bending strength from (5.157 06 ± 0.298 30) MPa to (7.959 71 ± 0.281 63) MPa. Gelatin solution also prolonged setting time of CPC, improved its waterproof performance, and promoted formulation of more dense and uniform hydroxyapatite crystals.
Conclusion: Gelatin can improve the compressive and bending strengths of CPC, and make CPC more suitable for clinic use through improvements in setting time and waterproof performance.

Cementitious Capillary Crystallization Waterproofing Material (CCCW), as an efficient self-healing agent, can effectively repair damage in concrete structures, thereby extending their service life. To address the various types of damage encountered in practical engineering applications, this study investigates the impact of different mixing methods for CCCW (including internal mixing, curing, and post-crack repair) on the multi-dimensional self-healing performance of concrete. The self-healing capacity of concrete was evaluated through water pressure damage self-healing tests, freeze-thaw damage self-healing tests, mechanical load damage self-healing tests, and crack damage self-healing tests.

Cellulose is a renewable biodegradable polymer derived from abundant natural resources. Substituting petroleum-based polymers with cellulose-based bioplastics is an effective way to alleviate environmental issues like resource depletion and white pollution. However, challenges such as poor thermostability, difficulty in thermoforming and water sensitivity seriously hinder the fabrication and use of cellulose-based bioplastics.

Carrageenan has good film-forming characteristics, but it is difficult to simultaneously improve its multiple performances, such as water-resistance, light transmittance and thermal stability. In this study, multi-advantage composite films were prepared by iota-carrageenan and quaternary ammonium surfactants according to solvent induced method. The weight change, FTIR and thermogravimetric analyses of the films before and after solvent inducement indicated that the inorganic counterions of iota-carrageenan were replaced by quaternary ammonium ions.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), among the most simple and efficient means to harvest mechanical energy, have great potential in renewable energy utilization. While the output performance of TENGs is still not high enough, which limits its practical application. Here, a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/fluorinated ethylene propylene nanoparticles (FEP NPs) porous nanofiber (PFPN) membrane with waterproof, breathable, surface superhydrophobic and high tribo-negative properties is proposed for achieving high-performance of TENGs.
