Microscopic defects in the amorphous regions of natural cellulose affect the mechanical properties of their materials. After dissolution and regeneration, cellulose's mechanical properties are still insufficient for application in advanced materials. Conventional compounding and crosslinking techniques with toxic crosslinking agents are not only cumbersome, but also have limited performance enhancement in cellulose materials Therefore, much attention has been paid to designing and developing more straightforward and efficient cellulose reinforcement technologies. Herein, an in situ multiscalarization strategy is used to form multiscale silk fiber-cellulose composites (MS-C) by the gradual nanosizing of silk fibers (SF) under heating in a 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride solution of cellulose (Cel-BmimCl). MS-C are constructed from micro and nano SF, fibroin chains, and cellulose molecules into a multidimensional network. Due to its advantage of multiscale structure, MS-C has excellent mechanical properties, the tensile strength and Young's modulus, which are 123.06% and 91.68% higher than that of pure regenerated cellulose after 5h heating treatment. Besides, MS-C has good biocompatibility and can be molded or 3D printed with direct ink writing, showing broad application prospects in medical, bioengineering, and other fields. This multiscale enhancement strategy can also be extended to the research and application of biopolymers such as natural polysaccharides or proteins.
Body-temperature responsive shape memory polymers (SMPs) attract a lot of attention with the application in biomedicine. Multiple SMPs regulate the response temperature through the proportion of their stationary and reversible phases by changing the molecular weight of the polymer or the components of the composite. Herein, a crosslinking reaction of trans-polyisoprene (TPI) and polycaprolactone (PCL) initiated by benzoyl peroxide gave a SMP of TPI/PCL, whose shape memory property is realized by stage-division crystallization zone. Under the fixed ratio of TPI:PCL, the crystallization performance of TPI/PCL is controlled by the crosslinking density. The response temperatures of the components in TPI/PCL are selected for the stage-division crystallization zone, making excellent shape memory performance at corresponding response temperatures. For the further achievement in controllable response temperature within a certain range, the relationship model between crosslinking density and response temperature is established, obtaining the customizable response temperature ranging 37-55 degrees C. The presented facile regulation method for response temperature will provide a new idea for the SMPs development. This study presents a triple SMP TPI/PCL by melt blending method with the initiation of BPO. The regulation of the crosslinking density can influence the crystallinity, and the relationship among Delta Hm, crosslinking density, and customizable response temperature has been revealed. image

Artificial bone materials are in great need due to a lot of bone injuries. Herein, collagen/nano-hydroxyapatite (Col/nHA, C-H) composite nanospheres were obtained by in-situ mineralization, and poly L-lactic acid/ collagen/nano-hydroxyapatite (PLLA/Col/nHA, P-C-H) was further prepared by high-speed shear emulsifica-tion method. The interfacial properties and structure between PLLA and nHA are regulated by the adhesive property of Col. The morphology, structure and properties of P-C-H microsphere were characterized in detail by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and simulated degradation of PBS in vitro. The results show that C-H is uniformly distributed in P-C-H micro-spheres, and a mesoporous material with a "pomegranate" structure and a particle size of 5-30 mu m is self-assembled based on C-H multiple composite microspheres. It is beneficial to the sustained-release degradation of P-C-H and the retention/release of Ca2+. The 60-day PBS degradation shows that PLLA delays the degradation of nHA, making the degradation rate of P-C-H basically consist with the human bone healing cycle. The co -culture of P-C-H with MC3T3-E1 cells shows that P-C-H has high biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity. The cell viability is higher than 100 % in 72 h, indicating P-C-H has a proliferation effect on cell growth. Alkaline phosphatase and quantitative real-time PCR test show a positive promotion of P-C-H in cell proliferation and differentiation. The multi-layered P-C-H microspheres have an application potential in bone tissue engineering.
The preparation of bioactive materials with biomolecules as templates to control the nucleation and growth of nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) crystals is a vital research field in bone tissue engineering. However, meeting the performance requirements of possessing appropriate surface roughness, high porosity, structural stability, adequate mechanical strength, biodegradability and biocompatibility at the same time is the core issue that restricts the development of these biomimetic materials in biosciences as well as medical clinical translation. In this work, a mineralized self-assembled silk fibroin (SF)/cellulose interpenetrating network composite aerogel (M-S-C) material was prepared by freeze-drying using sol-gel and in situ mineralization strategy. The effects of the main factors, such as the surface properties of SF macromolecules and the change of mineralization time, on the n-HA self-assembly process and the property of M-S-C under defined conditions were explored. The properties of M-S-C, including the physicochemical properties, morphology, mechanical property, degradation behavior and in vitro cytotoxicity, were investigated to evaluate its application prospects in bone tissue engineering. M-S-C exhibits the microstructure required for an ideal cancellous bone repair material, porosity up to 99.2%, high thermal stability, moderately adjustable compressive strength (12.7-22.4 MPa), and appreciable in vitro degradation rate. Moreover, M-S-C extracts can significantly accelerate the proliferation of human embryonic kidney cells. This mineralized interpenetrating polymer network aerogel material with excellent comprehensive performance shows potential for application in bone repair and regeneration.
With the development and application of thermotropic shape memory polymer materials in the biomedical field, it is very crucial for these materials to improve their thermal conductivity efficiency and shape memory recovery rate by endowing them a high thermal conductivity. In our work, a PLA/NR/T-ZnOw/GR shape memory composite was prepared by melt blending with tetrapod zinc oxide whisker (T-ZnOw) and graphene (GR) as the double inorganic fillers and polylactic acid (PLA) and natural rubber (NR) as the polymer matrix. The synergism of T-ZnOw and GR constructs a three-dimensional (3D) thermal conductive network, making the thermal conductivity of PLA/NR/5wt%T-ZnOw/2.5wt%GR increase to 1.215 W center dot(m center dot K)(-1). The addition of T-ZnOw reduces the agglomeration of GR in the PLA/NR matrix and the interfacial thermal resistance between the fillers and the matrix. It also improves the heat transfer rate, resulting in an excellent shape memory of PLA/NR/T-ZnOw/GR with a morphology recovery rate of ca. 96%, a fixed rate of 95% and high thermal stability. The presented biodegradable shape memory composite with the 3D thermal conductive network is promising in the fields of medical treatment and intelligent sensors.

Composites materials comprised of biopolymeric aerogel matrices and inorganic nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) fillers have received considerable attention in bone engineering. Although with significant progress in aerogel-based biomaterials, the brittleness and low strengths limit the application. The improvements in toughness and mechanical strength of aerogel-based biomaterials are in great need. In this work, an alkali urea system was used to dissolve, regenerate and gelate cellulose and silk fibroin (SF) to prepare composite aerosol. A dual network structure was shaped in the composite aerosol materials interlaced by sheet-like SF and reticular cellulose wrapping n-HA on the surface. Through uniaxial compression, the density of the composite aerogel material was close to the one of natural bone, and mechanical strength and toughness were high. Our work indicates that the composite aerogel has the same mechanical strength range as cancellous bone when the ratio of cellulose, n-HA and SF being 8:1:1. In vitro cell culture showed HEK-293T cells cultured on composite aerogels had high ability of adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. Totally, the presented biodegradable composite aerogel has application potential in bone tissue engineering.

In summary, the prepared Fe3O4@GO@PBIL catalyst behaved a superiorly catalytic performance, which made the produced biodiesel possess the possibility of application to biofuel as an ideal substitution.
A screw extrusion treatment method successfully applies to the extraction of essential oils from Pinus pumila barks under microwave-assisted hydrodistillation conditions, which effectively promotes the increase of the yield of essential oils. Moreover, some potential factors affecting the yield of essential oils have been systematically analyzed and optimized through single factor screening method and Box-Behnken design, and the optimum operating conditions were liquid-solid ratio 5.82 mL/g, microwave irradiation power 585 W, and microwave irradiation time 30 min. Meanwhile, the satisfactory yield of essential oils was 16.51 ? 0.83 mL/kg in the derived optimum conditions, which was highly consistent with the predicted result (17.14 mL/kg) by the BoxBehnken design model. By comparing the kinetic curves of the separation of essential oils by different methods, the bark after the screw extrusion process can obtain higher yield and separation efficiency of essential oils through the microwave-assisted hydrodistillation method. The antioxidant properties and the yield of the essential oils separated by different methods were compared, and the antioxidant capacity and the yield of the essential oils obtained from the barks that were processed by screw extrusion treatment were significantly better than other treatment methods. By comparing the raw materials obtained by different treatment methods and their residues after essential oil separation, it was confirmed that the screw extrusion treatment method greatly increases the yield of the essential oils. The results show that the introduction of screw extrusion treatment and microwave-assisted hydrodistillation in the separation of essential oil has produced significant changes, which may become a new type of essential oil separation technology and be applied to the market.

Phototoxic treatments of pathogenic bacteria and fungi of trees induce oxidative damage that is preferable to toxic chemical treatment. Here, we used green methods to synthesize Chlorin e6 from chlorophyll a, which was extracted from crude silkworm excrement using concentrated (strong) alkali hydrolysis and acidification. The photosensitive bactericidal activities of the new chlorin were tested in vitro, and possible mechanisms of action are discussed. The results showed that Chlorin e6 can be light-activated to have bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Fusarium oxysporum, but it had little bactericidal effect in the dark. This kind of chlorin compounds has great potential as a natural phototoxic antimicrobial compound to control harmful bacteria on the leaves in forestry systems.
