Advancements in materials used for restorative and preventive treatment is being directed toward "bio-active" functionality. Incorporation of filler particles that release active components is a popular method to create bio-active materials, and many approaches are available to develop fillers with the ability to release components that provide "bio-protective" or "bio-promoting" properties; e.g. metal/calcium phosphate nanoparticles, multiple ion-releasing glass fillers, and non-biodegradable polymer particles. In this review paper, recent developments in cutting-edge filler technologies to release bio-active components are addressed and summarized according to their usefulness and functions, including control of bacterial infection, tooth strengthening, and promotion of tissue regeneration.

Article Synopsis
- Dermal fillers, particularly polylactic acid (PLA), have evolved from merely restoring lost volume to enhancing skin quality and stimulating collagen regeneration in aesthetic treatments.
- PLA provides immediate volume restoration and promotes overall facial rejuvenation while improving the skin's appearance.
- This review discusses PLA’s properties, regeneration mechanisms, and clinical applications, laying the groundwork for future improvements in safe aesthetic treatments.

Thermoelectricity offers a promising solution for reducing carbon emissions by efficiently converting waste heat into electrical energy. However, high-performance thermoelectric materials predominantly consist of rare, toxic, and costly inorganic compounds. Therefore, the development of alternating material systems for high-performance thermoelectric materials is crucial for broader applications.

Hydrogel sensors are widely recognized in the fields of flexible electronics and human motion monitoring due to their multiple properties and potential applications. However, how to prepare hydrogels with multiple excellent properties simultaneously and how to improve the compatibility of conductive fillers with hydrogel matrices remain a major challenge. Therefore, in this work, liquid metal (LM) droplets stabilized by cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were utilized to initiate the polymerization of acrylamide monomer (Am), which was used as a conductive filler.

The global energy market is shifting toward renewable, sustainable, and low-carbon hydrogen energy due to global environmental issues, such as rising carbon dioxide emissions, climate change, and global warming. Currently, a majority of hydrogen demands are achieved by steam methane reforming and other conventional processes, which, again, are very carbon-intensive methods, and the hydrogen produced by them needs to be purified prior to their application. Hence, researchers are continuously endeavoring to develop sustainable and efficient methods for hydrogen generation and purification.
