Biomacromolecule loading is the popular research in the biomedical field. To control the loading amount and releasing profile, various materials and fabrication techniques were developed. In this study, layer-by-layer assembly of multilayer films between collagen (Col) and graphene oxide (GO) was used to control the release of the loading molecule. By mixing GO into the system, ovalbumin (OVA) can be spontaneously adsorbed onto the GO sheet (denoted as GO/OVA) via the hydrophobic interaction. Two kinds of multilayer films (Col/GO/OVA and Col/GO/OVA) were fabricated. The thickness growth curve, quantitative of each layer adsorption, film morphology, stability, cell viability, and OVA release from multilayer films were investigated. The result has shown excellent film stability, macromolecule loading, and sustained release because of GO ability.

Cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs) hold great promise for mechanochromic applications in anti-counterfeiting, smart textiles, and soft robotics, thanks to the structural color and elasticity. While CLCEs are printed via direct ink writing (DIW) to fabricate free-standing films, complex 3D structures are not fabricated due to the opposing rheological properties necessary for cholesteric alignment and multilayer stacking. Here, 3D CLCE structures are realized by utilizing coaxial DIW to print a CLC ink within a silicone ink.

Developing thin-film sheets made of oxide-based solid electrolytes is essential for fabricating surface-mounted ultracompact multilayer oxide solid-state batteries. To this end, solid-electrolyte slurry must be optimized for excellent dispersibility. Although oxide-based solid electrolytes for multilayer structures require sintering, high processing temperatures cause problems such as Li-ion volatilization and reactions with graphite anodes.

Self-healable, multilayered organosiloxane films were prepared thermal conversion of lamellar organosiloxane films containing poly(ethylene oxide)-polydimethylsiloxane-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers. The incorporation of silanolate groups enabled crack healing through dynamic siloxane equilibration. The enhanced hardness and suppressed cyclic siloxane formation resulting from the multilayered structure exhibit potential for practical applications.

Multilayer laminated films are widely used as food packaging materials. The substances contained in these films have the potential to migrate into food in contact, but the actual situation is unknown. In this study, we first determined the contents of 24 elements in 42 food laminate bags by ICP-OES and ICP-MS.
