A self-healing hydrogel enriched with properties from a double-dynamic network (DDN) that has been prepared via two dynamic linkages (imine and borate ester) by using single polymeric cross-linker. The four-component Ugi reaction was used for easily synthesizing multifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) (MF-PEG) benzaldehyde group phenylboronic acid at each end of the chain. This MF-PEG simultaneously cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol) through ester glycol chitosan an imine to generate unique DDN...

Nonbactericidal polymers that prevent bacterial attachment are important for public health, environmental protection, and avoiding the generation of superbugs. Here, inspired by physical bactericidal process carbon nanotubes graphene derivatives, we develop nonbactericidal resistant to using multicomponent reactions (MCRs) introduce molecular "needles" (rigid aliphatic chains) "razors" (multicomponent structures) into polymer side chains. Computer simulation reveals occurrence spontaneous...

Hydrogels are soft, tissue-like materials that have great potential as wound dressings. However, most hydrogels unsatisfactory in achieving whole-layer regeneration of diabetic wounds due to the complex pathological microenvironment and irregular shapes. Here, a glucose-responsive self-adaptive phenylboronic acid (PBA) hydrogel solubilized strong antioxidant flavonoids (Gel-Flavonoids) is developed via dynamic borate bonds. The Gel-Flavonoids system can spontaneously confirm shape release...
