The development of flexible, intelligent, and lightweight optoelectronic devices based on flexible transparent conductive electrodes (FTCEs) utilizing silver nanowires (AgNWs) has garnered increasing attention. However, achieving low surface resistance, strong adhesion to the flexible substrate, low surface roughness, and green degradability remains a challenge. Here, a composite electrode combining natural polymer cellulose nanofibers (TCNFs) with AgNWs was prepared.

The preparation of 3D-printed self-healing hydrogels composed of carboxymethyl chitosan and oxidized dextran via stereolithography for biomedical applications.

National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), 111 Thailand Science Park, Phahonyothin Road, Klong Luang, Pathum Thani 12120, Thailand.

This study presents a new approach for fabricating 3D-printed self-healing hydrogels via light-assisted 3D printing, utilizing Schiff-base and covalent bonding formations resulting from the reaction between amine and aldehyde functional groups alongside the photopolymerization of methacrylate groups. Two distinct polymers, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs) and dextran, were first modified to yield methacrylate-modified carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs-MA) and oxidized dextran (OD). The structural modifications of these polymers were confirmed using spectroscopic techniques, including H NMR and FTIR analyses.

To realize the aim of easy and accurate detection of ammonia and picric acid (PA) in both aqueous and vapor phases based on function-oriented investigation principles, in the present study, we include a luminescent performance with recognition performance, taking into account the application conditions. Zn(II) ions with luminescence qualities and an amine-substituted imidazole moiety with selective recognition properties towards picric acid and ammonia are coupled to generate a novel 1D luminous Zn(II) coordination polymer, Zn-CP [{Zn(II)( 2-ABZ)2(2-BDC)}].MeOH]∞, where 2-ABZ and 2-BDC stand for terephthalic acid and protonated 2 aminobenzimidazole, respectively.

Polymer based nanoformulations offer substantial prospects for efficacious chemotherapy delivery. Here, we developed a pH-responsive polymeric nanoparticle based on acidosis-triggered breakdown of boronic ester linkers. A biocompatible hyaluronic acid (HA) matrix served as a substrate for carrying a doxorubicin (DOX) prodrug which also possesses natural affinity for CD44 cells.
