ABSTRACT The development of hydrogel wound dressings that facilitate rapid healing is a complex task, primarily due to the necessity integrating multiple functional attributes, including air permeability, adhesion, antibacterial efficacy, and biocompatibility. In this study, we employed fatty acid‐modified carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) fabricate multifunctional dressing. This dressing exhibits adjustable hydrophobicity, robust mechanical properties, potent activity, with polyacrylamide (PAM) tannic acid (TA) serving as primary constituents. study demonstrated incorporation hydrophobic structures significantly enhanced tensile strength, compressive adhesive capacity hydrogels. addition, release curve TA showed acids played vital role in enhancing properties hydrogels, which may increase TA. Furthermore, length carbon chain has significant effect on hydrogel. summary, TA/(C14‐g‐CMCS)/PAM excellent can effectively prevent bleeding, accelerate closure, promote tissue regeneration. Therefore, TA/(FA‐g‐CMCS)/PAM hydrophobicity expected be best candidate for accelerating promoting regeneration skin tissue.

The primary challenges in the tissue engineering of small-diameter artificial blood vessels include inadequate mechanical properties and insufficient anticoagulation capabilities. To address these challenges, urea-pyrimidone (Upy)-based polyurethane elastomers (PIIU-B) were synthesized by incorporating quadruple hydrogen bonding within polymer backbone. synthesis process employed poly(L-lactide-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) as soft segment, while di-(isophorone diisocyanate)-Ureido pyrimidinone (IUI) isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) utilized hard segment. resulting PIIU-B vessel with a diameter 4 mm was fabricated using electrospinning technique, achieving an optimized IUI/IPDI composition ratio 1:1. Enhanced multiple bonds, exhibited robust elastic modulus 12.45 MPa, extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimetic nanofiber morphology, high porosity 41.31%. Subsequently, underwent dual-functionalization low-molecular-weight heparin gelatin via ultraviolet (UV) crosslinking (designated PIIU-B@LHep/Gel), which conferred superior biocompatibility exceptional properties. study revealed improved anti-platelet adhesion characteristics well prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) 157.2 s thrombin (TT) 64.2 vitro. Following seven-day subcutaneous implantation, PIIU-B@LHep/Gel excellent biocompatibility, evidenced complete integration surrounding peri-implant tissue, significant cell infiltration, collagen formation vivo. Consequently, polyurethane-based vessels, reinforced bonds dual-functionalized gelatin, present promising candidates for vascular engineering.

Fast, energy-efficient, and continuous manufacturing of nanoparticles (NPs) with controlled size distribution in polymer matrices is challenging. Herein, a microwave-powered dual-injection flow reactor presented to prepare silver NP (AgNP)/polycaprolactone (PCL) nanocomposites (AgNP/PCL NCs). Ultrasmall spherical AgNPs (US-AgNPs, 1.86 ± 0.77 nm) can be manufactured the PCL matrix less than 3 min at ∼35 °C by applying 60 W microwave power combined rate 1.25:1.25 mL/min (Pump1:Pump2). The effect amount on thermal, optical, antimicrobial properties crystallinity NCs are discussed. NC independent NP's amount, while film roughness highly dependent size. antibacterial activity US-AgNPs-containing toward Escherichia coli (∼98.2%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staphylococcus aureus (∼99.1%) higher big AgNP-containing (82.3%, 85.7%, 92.3%, respectively), signifying strong dependency instead Ag concentration.
