With the requirements for food safety and quality, there has been increasing attention on intelligent food packaging, especially pH-responsive intelligent packaging. However, the toxicity of indicators and the vulnerability of composite films to leakage tend to change the composition of food and endanger human health. In this study, 2-allyoxy-1-hydroxy-anthraquinone (AhAQ), a pH-responsive plant dye that was modified from alizarin (AI), was grafted onto the pH-responsive intelligent film (AhAQF) via click polymerization. The obtained AhAQF film shows color change in response to ammonia vapor and exhibits adequate reversibility after treatment with volatile acetic acid. The obtained AhAQF exhibits zero leakage, owing to the covalent immobilization of AhAQ. Thus, the prepared pH-responsive films are non-toxic and antibacterial and show promising application prospects in visual food intelligent packaging and gas-sensitive labels.

The click beetles (Elateridae) represent the major and well-known group of the polyphagan superfamily Elateroidea. Despite a relatively rich fossil record of Mesozoic Elateridae, only a few species are described from the Upper Cretaceous Burmese amber. Although Elateridae spend most of their lives as larvae, our knowledge on immature stages of this family is limited, which is especially valid for the fossils.

Well-defined amorphous/semi-crystalline statistical copolymers of n-dodecyl isocyanate, DDIC, and allyl isocyanate, ALIC, were synthesized via coordination polymerization using the chiral half-titanocene complex CpTiCl(O-(S)-2-Bu) as an initiator. In the frame of the terminal model, the monomer reactivity ratios of the statistical copolymers were calculated using both well-known linear graphical methods and the computer program COPOINT. The molecular and structural characteristics of the copolymers were also calculated.

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is applied in most advanced high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) power cable insulations, which are produced via dicumyl peroxide (DCP) technology. The electrical conductivity of insulation material can be increased by cross-linking byproducts from the DCP process. Hence, currently much attention is being paid to a new process to produce cross-linking byproduct-free XLPE.

A series of novel amphiphilic alternating CPEG copolymers were synthesized through an amine-epoxy click reaction comprising aliphatic amine and polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE). These polymers were characterized in detail via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to confirm the successful synthesis. Due to their amphiphilic structure, these polymers display thermoresponsiveness, with tunable cloud points (Tcps) that are adjustable from 20.

Article Synopsis
- Amniotic epithelial stem cells (AEC) have regenerative potential, particularly through their conditioned medium (AEC-CM), which shows immunomodulatory and regenerative effects.
- A novel hydrogel made from hyaluronic acid and polyethylene glycol was developed to encapsulate AEC-CM, with features like fast cross-linking and sustained growth factor release over 14 days.
- Studies demonstrate that the encapsulated AEC-CM significantly enhances the suppression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and promotes a shift towards the beneficial M2 macrophage phenotype, suggesting its viability as an immunomodulatory treatment for tissue regeneration.
