Article Abstract
A kind of ionic conductive gel (also named eutectogel) is developed from an inorganic salt (ZnCl)-based deep eutectic solvent (DES). The ternary DES consists of ZnCl, acrylic acid, and water, and cotton linter cellulose is introduced into the DES system to tailor its mechanical and conductive properties. Enabled by the extensive hydrogen bonds and ion-dipole interactions, the obtained eutectogel displays superior ionic conductivity (0.33 S/m), high stretchability (up to 2050%), large tensile strength (1.82 MPa), and wide temperature tolerance (-40 to 60 °C). In particular, the water-induced coordination interactions can tune the strength of hydrogen/ionic bonds in the eutectogels, imparting them with appealing humidity sensing ability in complex and extreme conditions.

Proto-SLIPS: Slippery Liquid-Infused Surfaces that Release Highly Water-Soluble Agents.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (or "SLIPS") can prevent bacterial surface fouling, but they do not inherently possess the means to kill bacteria or reduce cell loads in surrounding media. Past reports show that the infused liquids in these materials can be leveraged to load and release antimicrobial agents, but these approaches are generally limited to the use of hydrophobic agents that are soluble in the infused oily phases. Here, we report the design of so-called "proto-SLIPS" that address this limitation and permit the release of highly water-soluble (or oil-insoluble) agents.

Int J Oral Implantol (Berl)
September 2025
Purpose: To evaluate changes in implant stability quotient values of hydrophilic tissue-level implants over time, and to investigate the influence of local factors on variations in these values.
Methods: Fifty tapered, self-tapping, tissue-level implants with a hydrophilic surface were placed and monitored for 12 months. Implant stability quotient values were recorded at the time of insertion (T0) and monthly thereafter for 12 months.

Physical hydrogels, hydrophilic polymer networks with reversible crosslinks, have drawn attention in cutting-edge applications due to high tunability and biocompatibility. The self-healing capability and elasticity are crucial to ensure the robustness and lifespan of the hydrogel, but achieving these exclusive properties remains challenging. Herein, fully self-healable and elastic hydrogel is achieved through long-chain polyacrylic acid (PAA) scaffold and follow-up polymerization of polyacrylamide (PAM).

The hyper-intelligent features of the shape memory polymers (SMPs) effectively attract the attention of researchers worldwide to translate their potential into a wide range of applications. SMPs possess a unique capability to transform original or predefined shapes to a deformed temporary shape and under the influence of stimuli for instance, water, temperature, light, pH, magnetic field, enzyme, The emergence of SMPs has created a prominent impact in the progress of tissue engineering, drug delivery, designing biomedical devices, electrical/optical sensing, 4D printing, designing deployable devices for spacecraft, wastewater treatment, smart fibres for textiles, However, to translate such smart materials for biomedical and material science applications, there is a continuous hunt of novel polymer functional materials and methodologies to make biocompatible, biodegradable, and adaptable (in chemical and physical properties such as, shape fixity, shape recovery, self-healing, and cross-linking ability ) SMPs. The review presents a timely overview of synthesis and diverse applications of functional SMPs in biomedical and material science emphasizing on latest developments and future challenges.

We examine the relationship between substance use disorder (SUD) and schizophrenia, emphasizing the role of dopaminergic neurotransmission and genetic predispositions within the context of Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS). Our hypothesis posits that a deficiency in gamma-type endorphins leads to persistent hyperdopaminergic activity, amplifying schizophrenia-related symptoms such as hallucinations. Thus, alcohol use may function as a physiological self-healing mechanism by increasing gamma-endorphin levels, thereby mitigating dopaminergic hyperactivity.
