Article Abstract
Inspired by spider silk, polyphenolic nanodots (PTa) loaded multi-layer MXene (mMXene-PTa) through hydrogen and coordination bonds was prepared by self-polymerizing tannic acid on mMXene and used as a new crosslinker for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Together with starch (ST), mMXene-PTa was compounded with PVA and exfoliated to fabricate PVA/ST/mMXene-PTa nanocomposite. The phenolic hydroxyl groups in PTa formed high-density H-bonds with PVA and ST, creating an organic-inorganic dynamic crosslinking network with mMXene-PTa as nodes. PVA/ST/mMXene-PTa achieved dual effects of reinforcement and toughening owing to the dynamic deformation and reconstruction of this crosslinking network following cyclical breaking and reforming of H-bonds under external loads. For instance, 5 % mMXene-PTa simultaneously increased the tensile strength of PVA/ST blend by 75 % and toughness by 108 %. Even at a 40 % reduced dosage, mMXene-PTa demonstrated comparable enhancements to mMXene in improving PVA/ST blend's strength and toughness. Meanwhile, uniform loading of PTa on mMXene enhanced its migration resistance and thermal stability. This amplified the UV-absorbing and radical scavenging capabilities of PTa, thereby endowing PVA/ST/mMXene-PTa with significantly improved resistance to photo, thermal and oxidative degradation. Furthermore, PVA/ST/mMXene-PTa showed self-healing ability and remarkably increased biodegradation rate. Taken together, this work explores a possible paradigm for the design of advanced PVA/ST materials.

Integrating nature-derived polyphenolic nanodots (PDs) with polymeric matrices presents a sustainable strategy for developing multifunctional nanocomposite hydrogels with enhanced biological performance. However, conventional PDs-knotted hydrogel fabrication methods still face significant challenges in regulating PDs properties and seamlessly incorporating them into hydrogel systems. Herein, we reported a facile and eco-friendly approach to construct polydopamine (PDA) nanodots polyethyleneimine (PEI)-mediated oxidative polymerization under mild aqueous conditions.

(oyster mushroom) holds excellent promise worldwide, bringing several opportunities and augmenting the tool sets used in the biotechnology field, the food industry, and medicine. Our study explores the antimicrobial and probiotic growth stimulation benefits of freeze-dried powders (OMP-TF, oyster mushroom powder from the total fresh sample; OMP-CSR, oyster mushroom powder from the cooked solid residue; OMP-CL, oyster mushroom powder from the cooked liquid), focusing on their bioactive compounds and associated activities. Our research examined polysaccharide fractions-specifically total glucans and α- and β-glucans-alongside secondary metabolites, including polyphenols and flavonoids, from freeze-dried mushroom powders.

Infected chronic wounds, in particular, diabetic wounds, are hard to heal, posing a global health concern with high morbidity and mortality rates. Diabetic full-thickness wounds infected with belong to the most difficult to heal chronic infected wounds. Here, we introduced tannic acid-modified silicon-based nanoparticles (TA-SiNPs) with broad-spectrum bactericidal activity that bacteria develop minimal resistance to, and they can effectively treat full-thickness wounds in diabetic mice infected with .

Article Synopsis
- Scientists created a special gel that helps wounds heal faster and keeps them moist.
- They used strong materials called bacterial cellulose nanofibers to make the gel even tougher and better at fighting bacteria.
- Tests showed that this gel can not only heal wounds quicker but also allows doctors to watch how wounds heal in real-time and helps release medicine when needed.
