Electrospinning method is employed to create the composite nanofibers, resulting in a highly aligned and consistent fibrous structure. Graphene nanolayers are functionalized onto CeO nanoparticles using a rapid and scalable solution-based process. The resulting hybrid composite material exhibited superior piezoelectric characteristics compared to pure PVDF-HFP. A fiber Bragg grating sensor is integrated into the PVDF-HFP nanofiber composite to enable optical sensing. As a strain gauge, the sensor detected variations in fiber length caused by mechanical deformation. The addition of CeO-decorated graphene nanolayers enhanced the piezoelectric response of the PVDF-HFP nanofibers, producing an electrical signal proportional to the applied mechanical stress. The sensor's performance is evaluated under various mechanical stimuli, including compression, bending, and vibration. The sensor demonstrated excellent sensitivity, repeatability, and fast response times. The proposed optical piezoelectric sensor, based on PVDF-HFP nanofibers filled with CeO-decorated graphene nanolayers, shows great potential for applications in robotics, wearable electronics, and structural health monitoring. This sensor technology is highly appealing for next-generation smart materials and devices due to its enhanced piezoelectric properties, optical sensing capabilities, and mechanical resilience.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"310 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400350","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143831122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inflammatory response plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of cartilage damage. Hydrogels incorporating diacerein, an anti-inflammatory drug used in clinical settings, can mitigate inflammation that impairs cartilage repair. It is hypothesized that the direct injection of a hydrogel scaffold combining diacerein and polydopamine into cartilage defect sites can enhance localized treatment, reduce surgical risks, and expedite recovery. Therefore, in this study, a hydrogel infused with diacerein is developed to investigate its efficacy for cartilage restoration. By crosslinking poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate, four-arm polyethylene glycol-functionalized diacerein, hyaluronic acid, and polydopamine, an injectable hydrogel with superior properties is achieved. In vitro evaluations confirm the mechanical strength and biocompatibility of the hydrogel, and in vivo studies demonstrate its effectiveness in cartilage repair and anti-inflammatory activity in a rat model. These findings indicate that hydrogels are promising materials for addressing cartilage defects and advancing tissue engineering and biological implantation strategies.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"310 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400382","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the commonly used diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) has two major disadvantages: it is synthesized mainly from petrochemicals and includes the health concerning bisphenol A. Eugenol is a bio-based aromatic compound that can be modified into di- or triglycidyl ether. Through investigations four monomers are obtained based on eugenol and crosslinked with two curing agents isophorone diamine and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone to compare the properties of the resulting EPs with references containing DGEBA. Using new synthesis routes, the bio-content of the monomers can be increased up to 94 wt%. Intramolecular cyclization occurs if a hydroxy group is in ortho-position to the glycidyl ether group. The crosslinking conditions of the bio-based monomers are comparable to or lower than those of DGEBA. The eugenol-based triglycidyl monomers exhibit very high glass transition temperatures of up to 271 °C, almost 50 °C above the reference value, which can enable their use for lightweight construction such as matrices for fiber-reinforced plastics. The char content of all bio-based EPs after pyrolysis is significantly higher in comparison to the references, which may have a favorable effect on fire resistance.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"310 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400394","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Photosensitizer (PS) loaded fibers exhibit a high surface area-to-volume ratio, promoting efficient drug delivery, prolonged retention at the target site, and controlled release profiles. Inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through light activation offers a targeted therapeutic approach, selectively generating cytotoxic effects in cancerous or pathogenic cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. This selective cytotoxicity arises because the ROS are produced only in illuminated areas where PS releases and accumulates, limiting their harmful effects to desired regions. Additionally, PS-loaded fibers are highly effective in wound healing applications, promoting cell proliferation and tissue regeneration while providing a barrier against microbial infections. This review highlights recent advances in the design and biomedical application of PS-loaded nanofibers, emphasizing their influence on cell viability and effectiveness in microbial inhibition, thereby setting the stage for future innovations in cancer therapy, wound healing, and infection control.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"310 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202500014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The morphological, thermal, mechanical and thermoresponsive cyclic shape memory effect (SME) characteristics of 3D-printed specimens at various raster angles are investigated. This work introduces the innovative utilization of TPU's fibrillar alignment within a PLA matrix to achieve enhanced mechanical anisotropy and consistent shape memory performance. Morphological analysis reveals excellent printability, with the immiscible TPU phase forming submicron-diameter fibrils (≈0.78 ± µm) within the PLA matrix, leading to significant improvements in toughness and elongation at break when aligned with the printing direction and the load. Tensile test demonstrates anisotropy, with 0° raster specimens achieving a UTS of 16.1 ± 0.2 MPa and elongation at 305.5 ± 71.9%, compared to 4.5 ± 0.6 MPa and 10.8 ± 1.5% at 90°. Notably, despite the mechanical anisotropy, shape fixity ratios exceeded 95% and recovery ratios between 91 and 95% were achieved across all raster angles, demonstrating robustness in thermomechanical properties. These findings offer valuable insights into the relationship between morphology, mechanical characteristics, and shape memory behavior of PLA/TPU blends fabricated using fused material extrusion, positioning the material as a strong candidate for biomedical applications requiring precise shape recovery performance.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"310 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400427","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
