3D bioprinting, a promising technology by precisely positioning cell-laden biomaterials to fabricate complex functional artificial tissues and organs, has potential applications in regenerative medicine drug discovery. However, the printing of large-scale constructs with high structural fidelity is still major challenge. One main bottlenecks development bioink materials. Herein, double network hydrogel that combines superior shear-thinning recovery properties gellan gum (GG) rapid UV...
Chitin nanocrystals (CNCs), rod-like crystalline nanoparticles from natural sources, show high aspect ratio, modulus, and excellent reinforcing ability toward polymers. In this study, CNCs aqueous dispersions were first prepared by acid hydrolysis of raw chitin. The resulting dispersion was investigated polarized optical microscopy rheometry at different concentrations. A nematic liquid crystals phenomenon with increasing solid concentration is found in the dispersion. When beyond 5 wt %,...
Implanting a 3D printing scaffold is an effective therapeutic strategy for personalized bone repair. As the key factor success of tissue engineering, should provide appropriate regeneration microenvironment and excellent mechanical properties. In fact, most ideal osteogenic undoubtedly provided by natural extracellular matrix (ECM), which exhibits liquid crystalline viscoelastic characteristics. However, mimicking ECM-like in structure with outstanding properties huge challenge. Herein, we...
The screen-printing process of conductive ink can realize simple and large-scale manufacture micro/nano patterns for producing wearable electronic products. Herein, chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) are used as a dispersant the preparation multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) with high viscosity uniformity by ultrasound treatment. ChNCs interact MWCNT in noncovalent ways, including π-π hydrophobic interactions. ChNCs/MWCNT (CCNT) does not aggregate even after standing 3 months maximum concentration...
Implanting a three-dimensional (3D) printing scaffold is one of the most effective ways for treating bone defects. However, process repair extremely complex, which requires to comply with this process, play early antibacterial roles after implantation, and promote angiogenesis osteogenesis in later stage. In study, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), type 2D inorganic nanomaterial, were employed efficiently load osteogenic angiogenic dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) based on anion exchange....
Superamphiphobic coating has significant applications in self-cleaning and antifouling materials. Herein, chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) with a needlelike morphology as building blocks were modified by thiol groups highly fluorinated long chains to reduce the surface free energy. For prepared superamphiphobic ChNC particles, series of morphological physicochemical characterizations, such transmission electron microscopy, scanning Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction,...
Quercetin (Qu), a bioflavonoid, has been reported to positively affect bone metabolism. For the first time, Qu with different concentrations was utilized functionalize 3D-printed poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) scaffold aid of polydopamine (PDA) layer through convenient and effective way in this study. Results revealed that coexistence PDA can capacitate PLLA possess rougher surface, as well better hydrophilicity compressive properties. The resulting PDA- Qu-modified scaffolds (Qu/PD-PLLA)...
To solve the damage to environment and human body caused by organic solvent adhesives in utilization process, chitin nanocrystal (ChNC) suspension is explored as a strong anisotropic adhesive, which an eco-friendly water-based adhesive with high strength. ChNCs extracted from crab shells are rod-like nanoparticles aspect ratios, mainly employed reinforcing polymer nanocomposites biomedicine nanomaterials. ChNC sandwiched between substrates forms long-range ordered superstructure...
Chemo/photothermal combination therapy, a practical technology for cancer treatment, has drawn intensive interest from researchers. Designing nanoplatform with good biocompatibility, photothermal stability, and excellent target specificity is critical this technique. Here, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), kind of natural clay mineral, were employed to construct multifunctional treating breast by promising chemo/photothermal therapy. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), metal–organic...
Current artificial periostea mainly focus on osteogenic activity but overlook structural and mechanical anisotropy, as well the importance of antibacterial anti-inflammatory properties. Here, inspired by anisotropic structure wood, delignified wood (named white WW) with a porous highly oriented cellulose fiber skeleton was obtained, which further filled polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel loaded curcumin (Cur) phytic acid (PA). The prepared wood-derived composite membranes can not only exhibit...
