Article Abstract
The new wood-plastic composites (WPC) biocomposites, a promising blend of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and lignocellulosic fillers, are the subject of our study. We used bark and sawdust at 40, 50, and 60% as PLA fillers. The innovative use of ion implantation to modify the surface properties of the produced composites could have significant implications. Argon ions were used in three dosages (1 × 10, 1 × 10, and 1 × 10 cm) at an accelerating voltage of 60 kV. The modified composites were then analyzed for changes in surface wettability, surface energy, and color. Our findings demonstrate that the dosage of argon ion implantation and the filler used have a profound impact on the properties of the modified surfaces. In general, ion implantation enhances the surface wettability of composites and pure PLA, with the recorded relationships being more pronounced in composites containing higher proportions of lignocellulosic fillers. Furthermore, the implantation of ions on the surface of composites induces changes in their color, opening up new possibilities for the field of materials science.

Anaerobic bacteria cause a wide range of infections, varying from mild to severe, whether localized, implant-associated, or invasive, often leading to high morbidity and mortality. These infections are challenging to manage due to antimicrobial resistance against common antibiotics such as carbapenems and nitroimidazoles. The empirical use of antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of resistant organisms, making the identification and development of new antibiotics increasingly difficult.

Silk fibroin (SF)-based flexible electronic/photonic materials have gained great attention in wearable devices and soft sensors. However, it remains challenging to understand the molecular interaction mechanisms and subsequently fabricate SF-based flexible materials that exhibit fluorescence, humidity sensitivity, and conductivity properties. In this study, by incorporating lanthanide europium ion (Eu), the design and fabrication of a flexible, fluorescent, and conductive SF membrane was proposed.

The rapid advancement of implantable medical electronic devices has spurred substantial research into implantable energy storage systems. However, the presence of multiple film resistors in traditional sandwich structures impedes further enhancements in the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors and may result in contact failures between electrodes and separators or catastrophic short-circuit failures during tissue deformation. This study introduces a novel approach for fabricating all-in-one Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors, which effectively mitigates performance degradation and safety concerns arising from interfacial issues.

Infected wounds remain a major clinical challenge due to bacterial invasion, which disrupts the natural healing cascade through excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, severe vascular damage, and persistent inflammation. Inspired by the catechol-rich adhesive domains of mussel foot proteins, we developed an extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimetic polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel incorporating polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) for infected wound therapy. The amino acid-functionalized PEG hydrogel reproduces ECM-like properties to facilitate cell migration and efficient exudate management; however, its lack of intrinsic antimicrobial activity limits therapeutic efficacy.
