Hemostatic materials could reduce avertible death from bleeding during surgery and emergency treatment. To this end, silk fibroin (SF) loaded with Ca (1.8, 3.6 5.4, or 7.2%, w:w) was tested as a new hemostatic material (designated as SF1.8, SF3.6, SF5.4, or SF7.2), and the Ca release rate, platelet adhesion, blood coagulation, cytocompatibility, and antimicrobial properties were investigated. Platelet adhesion on SF1.8 was improved significantly compared with pure SF porous material, and increased with increasing Ca concentration. For SF3.6, platelet adhesion was greater than observed for gelatin and calcium alginate porous materials, clotting occurred earlier, and the complete coagulation time was shorter. Additionally, rabbit ear wound studies revealed that the hemostatic time for SF3.6 was significantly shorter than for gelatin, and similar to that for calcium alginate. The shed blood weight was lowest when SF was loaded with 7.2% Ca. The SF3.6 porous material displayed no obvious cytotoxicity, and exhibited satisfactory antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Furthering the field of synthetic organic chemistry from the discrete molecules regime to the extended structure regime, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent a new genre of crystalline porous materials featuring designability with molecular-level precision, well-defined porosity, and exceptional stability imparted by the robust covalent linkages reticulating organic molecules. The topology of COFs is a principal feature that regulates their functionality and usability for emerging technologies. Profound comprehension of network topologies and maneuvering them toward targeted applications are crucial to advancing the realm of COF research and developing novel functional materials for exciting breakthroughs.

Exploring host-guest interactions to regulate hydrogen-bonding assembly offers a promising approach for developing advanced porous crystal materials (PCMs). However, screening compatible guests with appropriate geometries and host-guest interactions that could inhibit the dense packing of building blocks remains a primary challenge. This study presents a novel guest-induced crystallization (GIC) strategy, guided by thermodynamic calculations, to develop porous hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) using structurally challenging tetrazole building units.

Porphyrin-based two-dimensional porous materials (SnP-H2TCPP, SnP-ZnTCPP) composed of robust Sn(IV)-porphyrin linkages have been synthesized by reacting -dihydroxo[5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato]tin(IV) (SnP) with [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin] (HTCPP) and [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrinato]zinc(II) (ZnTCPP), respectively. The strength of the interaction between the carboxylic acid group of the monomeric porphyrins (HTCPP and ZnTCPP) and the axial hydroxyl moiety of SnP enables the construction of highly stable framework materials, which were characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis, and emmission spectroscopy, powder XRD, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). SnP-H2TCPP and SnP-ZnTCPP absorb visible light strongly over a wide range, demonstrating weak perturbation in the electronic ground state structures of the π-conjugated aromatic moieties compared to the starting monomeric units.

The propensity of zinc (Zn) to form irregular electrodeposits at liquid-solid interfaces emerges as a fundamental barrier to high-energy, rechargeable batteries that use zinc anodes. So far, tremendous efforts are devoted to tailoring interfaces, while atomic-scale reaction mechanisms and the related nanoscale strain at the electrochemical interface receive less attention. Here, the underlying atomic-scale reaction mechanisms and the associated nanoscale strain at the electrochemical alloy interface are investigate, using gold-zinc alloy protective layer as a model system.

3D scaffolds enable biological investigations with a more natural cell conformation. However, the porosity of synthetic hydrogels is often limited to the nanometer scale, which confines the movement of 3D encapsulated cells and restricts dynamic cell processes. Precise control of hydrogel porosity across length scales remains a challenge and the development of porous materials that allow cell infiltration, spreading, and migration in a manner more similar to natural ECM environments is desirable.
