Non-compressible hemorrhage is an unmet clinical challenge that accounts for high mortality in trauma. Rapid pressurized blood flows under impair the function and integrity of hemostatic agents adhesion bioadhesive sealants. Here, we report design performance bioinspired microstructured bioadhesives, formed with a macroporous tough xerogel infused functional liquids. The can rapidly absorb interfacial fluids such as whole promote clotting, while liquids facilitate bonding, sealing,...
Cell-laden scaffolds of architecture and mechanics that mimic those the host tissues are important for a wide range biomedical applications but remain challenging to bioprint. To address these challenges, we report new method called triggered micropore-forming bioprinting. The approach can yield cell-laden defined interconnected pores over sizes, encompassing many cell types. viscoelasticity bioprinted scaffold match biological be tuned independently porosity stiffness. also exhibits...
Ionotronic hydrogels find wide applications in flexible electronics, wearable/implantable devices, soft robotics, and human-machine interfaces. Their performance practical translation have been bottlenecked by poor adhesiveness, limited mechanical properties, the lack of biological functions. The remedies are often associated with complex formulations sophisticated processing. Here, we report a rational design facile synthesis ionotronic tough adhesives (i-TAs), which excellent mechanical,...
