Responsive Polyelectrolyte Brushes in Applications: Functions, Stimuli, and Design Considerations
With advances in the synthesis of polyelectrolyte brushes, these coatings of surface‐grafted chains find uses in an increasing number of applications. This review summarizes three core aspects of these brushes: how they introduce functionality to surfaces; how external stimuli influence their properties; and what practical considerations should be ...

TGTMW fibers are designed to show a sharp resistance increase under pressure, as the multi‐wall structure in the transition region between compressed and uncompressed areas bends and forms microcracks. This design breaks the physical sensitivity limit of conventional fiber‐shaped pressure sensors, which usually show resistance reduction under pressure ...

This study presents a novel 4D bioprinting technique for fabricating cardiac tissues with complex microvasculature. Unlike traditional 3D printing, it enables capillary‐scale structure formation via selective post‐printing shrinkage. This approach overcomes resolution limits of printing cell‐laden hydrogels, allowing the creation of functional ...

A Smart and Highly Porous Hydrogel for Diabetic Wound Healing
A novel hydrogel comprising a dual‐crosslinked network of Poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and Gum Arabic (GA) with superior mechanical and anti‐inflammatory properties is designed for advanced diabetic wound healing. Abstract Conventional hydrogels often suffer from poor mechanical strength, limited bioactivity, and uncontrolled therapeutic ...
