Effective wound care management system demands the emergence of smart bandages with healing techniques. Electrical stimulation (ES)-based has shown excellent results in faster closure by mimicking endogenous electric field naturally produced at sight a and assisting same. The present work highlights development flexible copper-based micro-electrode array (MEA) patch over polyimide substrate for triggering ES-induced accelerated applied DC potentials only. Simulation highlight ES optimization varying maximum 0.2, 0.4, 1.0 V toward generation effective field-induced electrotaxis. A simulated was fabricated using unique screen-printed masking technique involving use polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ink as material copper film to realize MEA structures. An integrated pH sensor also screen printing Ag/AgCl same monitor situ blood levels. developed low-cost patches showed good electrical continuity well flexibility skin conformality. It thereafter mounted an 8 mm diameter cutaneous on rat model, appropriate per simulation data. Post-healing were visually verified examined histological changes tissue cross-sections, correlation between findings visual observations obtained. significant reduction time achieved (9 days) through this study optimized potential 0.4 V, unlike control samples, which took 13 days healing. mimicked natural potential, thereby clearly demonstrating effectiveness

Abstract Thermosetting polyurethanes (PUs) are ubiquitous in our daily life due to their low cost and attractive properties, such as mechanical robustness, chemical resistance, thermal stability. However, thermosetting PUs challenged by intrinsic non‐recyclability. Due the chemically cross‐linked network structures, reprocessability, controllable degradation of difficult achieve, tremendous pollution waste were generated each year. A promising strategy is introduce “vitrimer” chemistry design PUs. Intriguing opportunities, offered integration vitrimers PUs, have enabled high‐performance PU materials with exclusive performances, including shape memory, self‐healability, degradability, recyclability reprocessability. This review systematically summarizes recent advancement research on vitrimers. First, classification reversible covalent preparation discussed. Second, unique properties dynamic bonds reviewed, recyclability, adhesion, weldability. Potential applications this intriguing performance subsequently Afterwards, we present perspectives challenges that yet be addressed for transforming into recyclable polymer materials.
