Graphene oxide (GO), as a two-dimensional structure material, has attracted widespread attention in the field of molecule sieving. However, GO-based membranes usually exhibit undesirable separation performance because the microstructure of GO is difficult to adjust. Herein, a novel double-crosslinking strategy for tuning the interlayer spacing of GO is reported. The hybrid membrane fabricated by the double-crosslinking strategy was used for pervaporation (PV) dehydration of isopropanol. To achieve high-performance of the PV hybrid membranes, the effects of operating cycles, chitosan concentration, and GO concentration were systematically investigated. The PV hybrid membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, water contact angle measurement, and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that the interlayer of GO can be adjusted successfully by the double-crosslinking strategy. The fabricated hybrid membrane containing 0.1 wt % GO exhibited excellent performance with a flux of 4391 g/mh and a separation factor of 1491, which indicated that the double-crosslinking strategy may extend the applications of GO in the field of membrane separation.

Improving the mechanical strength of protein freeze-dried gels materials has become a research priority in the field of nutrient delivery system development in recent years. In this study, double crosslinking freeze-dried gels were prepared by integrating laccase catalyzed sugar beet pectin (SBP) as a highly active filler molecule into the soybean isolate protein (SPI) thermally induced gel network, followed by freeze-drying. The double crosslinking freeze-dried gels were a porous material and the addition of SBP resulted in the formation of amorphous forms of freeze-dried gels with lower binding energy.

The demand for non-toxic, environmentally friendly, easily processable, water-resistant, flame-retardant and antimicrobial adhesives in the wood processing industry is becoming increasingly urgent. Few adhesives can possess these functions altogether while being synthesized easily. This paper presents a one-pot process utilizing corn starch, sodium hypochlorite, itaconic acid, and borax to synthesize a starch-based adhesive with dual crosslinking.

The inflammatory microenvironment and inferior chondrogenesis are major symptoms after cartilage defect. Although various modifications strategies associated with hydrogels exhibit remarkable capacity of pro-cartilage regeneration, the adverse effect by prolonging inflammation is still formidable to hamper potential biomedical applications of different hydrogel implants. Herein, inspired by the repair microenvironment of articular cartilage defects, an injectable, immunomodulatory, and chondrogenic L-MNS-CMDA hydrogel is prepared through grafting vinyl and catechol groups to chitosan macromolecules using amide reaction, then further loading MnO nanosheets (MNS).

Hydrogels are widely used due to their exceptional biocompatibility and adaptability, but their weak mechanical properties limit their application in biomedical engineering. Herein, we rapidly attained a comprehensive enhancement of silk fibroin hydrogels in mechanical properties by employing a physical-chemical double crosslinking strategy. The SF was ultrasonicated and simultaneously photo-crosslinked to form a di-tyrosine network interspersed with β-sheet blocks, resulting in a SF hydrogel network structure with both rigid and flexible domains.

Proteins are classified as biopolymers which share similar structural features with semi-crystalline polymers. Although their unique biocompatibility facilitates the universal applications of protein-based hydrogels in the biomedical field, the mechanical performances of protein-based hydrogels fall short of practical requirements. Conventional strategies for enhancing mechanical properties focus on forming regularly folded secondary structures as analogs of crystalline regions.
