Chitosan-based materials are known for their excellent biocompatibility and inherent hemostatic properties. However, efficiency is significantly affected by poor wettability mechanical strength. Herein, we developed a novel super elastic sponge from mussel-inspired chitosan modified with long alkyl catechol functional groups (HMCC) via simple freezing-drying procedure. The incorporation of decanal in the HMCC enhances its antimicrobial antioxidant properties facilitates multiple interactions blood cells, thus promoting enrichment rapid hemostasis. Moreover, sponges exhibit high compressibility fluid-induced size recovery capacity, enabling wound shape adaptation to ensure minimizing irritation. In vivo experiments revealed that possessed enhanced procoagulant, hemostasis abilities, favorable degradability could promote healing rat skin model. These results highlight potential as promising solution clinical management major bleeding.

Metal adhesive synthesis typically involves heating and solvents, the resultant adhesives lack degradability suffer from recycling sustainable problems. Herein, we developed a solvent-free chemically degradable biobased (p(Elp-TA)+PVP) thioctic acid (TA), its derivative (Elp), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Through rapid acid-triggered cationic ring-opening polymerization of dithiolane at ambient conditions, p(Elp-TA)+PVP could build up strong lap shear strength 1123 kPa in air an underwater 534 to copper plate. Molecular dynamics simulations show that compared p(Elp-TA), presence appropriate amount PVP can significantly enhance binding energy molecules metal substrate, adhesion substrates was achieved through synergistically dynamic adaptive network enhanced by hydrogen bonding, reversible coordination bonding 40 ps. More importantly, applied be easily degraded reverted small-molecular-weight lipoic species. Upon exposure dithiothreitol, green reducing agent, average molecular weight quickly decrease 1603 kDa 274 Da. This constructed simple method provides promising general strategy for developing controlled recoverable natural resources.
