Human-machine interactions, medical monitoring, and flexible robots stimulate interest in hydrogel sensing devices. However, developing hydrogel sensors with multifunctions such as good mechanics, electroconductivity, resistance to solvent volatility as well as freezing, self-adhesion, and independence on external power supply remains a challenge. In the work, a poly(acrylic acid--isopropylacrylamide) P(AA-NIPAm) organic hydrogel loading LiCl is prepared by ultraviolet cross-linking in ethylene glycol/HO. The organic hydrogel exhibits favorable mechanical properties such as an elongation of break at 700% and a breaking strength of 20 KPa, can adhere to various substrates, and resists frost and solvent volatility. Especially, it possesses an excellent conductivity of 8.51 S/m. The organic hydrogel shows wide strain sensitivity based on resistance change, and the gauge factor reaches 5.84 in the range of 300-700%. It has short responsive and recuperative time and is still stable within 1000 rounds. Moreover, the organic hydrogel is also assembled into a self-powered device in which the open-circuit voltage is 0.74 V. The device can transform external stimuli such as stretching or compressing into the output current change, so it detects human motion effectively in real time. The work provides a perspective for electrical sensing engineering.

Trauma healing is the process of healing after the body has been subjected to an external force and the skin and other tissues have become dissected or defective, showing the synergistic effect of various processes. Therefore, the investigation of innovative wound dressings has significant research and clinical implications. In this study, we constructed a zinc based metal-organic framework (MOF) and loaded with antimicrobial peptide LL37 to prepare LL37@ZPF-2 (ZPF = zeolite pyrimidine backbone), which was subsequently integrated with Poloxamer 407 to fabricate LL37@ZPF-2 thermosensitive hydrogel.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and debilitating condition characterized by cartilage destruction and inflammation. Traditional pharmacotherapies for OA are limited by their short-term efficacy and systemic side effects. Radiosynoviorthesis (RSO), involving intra-articular injection of radiopharmaceuticals, has shown promise for OA treatment but is hindered by the toxicity and rapid clearance of radioisotopes.

Bacterial infections and inflammation severely impede wound healing. Here, we developed a zwitterionic hydrogel incorporating MOF/GOx for pH-responsive, controlled drug release. The multifunctional hydrogel embedded with MOF/GOx was successfully prepared through the Schiff base reaction between the copolymer poly[(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine)-co-(4-formylphenyl methacrylate)] (PMF) and the branched polyethylenimine (PEI) modified by the zwitterionic monomer ((4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfonyl)(4-(trimethylammonio)butanoyl)amide (AB), which possessed excellent injectable and self-healing ability, a highly sensitive and reversible responsiveness to pH changes, and good biocompatibility.

Background: Because arsenate (As(V)) is a highly toxic pollutant, timely on-site monitoring of its concentration is crucial for mitigating potential environmental and health hazards. Traditional on-site detection methods for As(V) often face limitations of long response time and low sensitivity. Nanozymes are nanomaterials that exhibit enzyme-like catalytic activity.
