Antifouling zwitterionic materials have extensive applications in the biomedical field. This study designed and successfully synthesized a novel poly(carboxybetaine) diacrylate (PCBDA) via cationic ring-opening polymerization of 2-methyl-2-oxazine, chain modification by the Michael reaction, and chain end transformation to acrylate. The cross-linker was obtained with a tunable molecular weight. Through photopolymerization, poly(carboxybetaine) (PCB) hydrogels with varying solid contents were obtained, and the effects of the solid content on the hydration properties, mechanical properties, and microstructure of the PCB hydrogels were investigated. Furthermore, the non-fouling properties of the PCB hydrogels were compared to those of commercial polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogels. Protein adsorption on PCB hydrogels was reduced by more than 60% compared to low-fouling PEG hydrogels. PCB hydrogels exhibit antibacterial adhesion properties similar to those of PEG hydrogels. In cell adhesion experiments, no cell adhesion was observed on the PCB hydrogels, indicating their superior anti-cell adhesion function. This advancement offers a more promising alternative to polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) cross-linkers in the design of hydrogels.

In the course of this investigation, we undertook the contemplation of a green chemistry paradigm with the express intent of procuring valuable metal, namely gold, from electronic waste (e-waste). In pursuit of this overarching objective, we conceived a procedural framework consisting of two pivotal stages. As an initial stage, we introduced a physical separation procedure relying on the utilization of the Eddy current separator, prior to embarking on the process of leaching from e-waste.

Due to emerging demands in soft electronics, there is an increasing need for material architectures that support robust interfacing between soft substrates, stretchable electrical interconnects, and embedded rigid microelectronics chips. Though researchers have adopted rigid-island structures to solve the issue, this approach merely shifts stress concentrations from chip-conductor interfaces to rigid-island-soft region interfaces in the substrate. Here, a gradient stiffness-programmed circuit board (GS-PCB) that possesses high stretchability and stability with surface mounted chips is introduced.

Sports-related damage is a prevalent issue, which a combination therapy including photothermal irradiation, self-healing dressing and antibacterial treatment is an effective way to rehabilitate it. In the study, a multifunctional hydrogel was developed to meet the requirement. Firstly, mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) was prepared, where gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were formed in its mesoporous structure, to construct Au@MPDA NPs with nanosize about 200 nm.
