In this study, we investigate how high-temperature steam sterilization (134 °C) alters the mechanical response and low-cycle fatigue behavior of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) components produced by material extrusion (MEX). A combined experimental framework involving quasi-static tensile testing supported by digital image correlation (DIC), strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue experiments, Manson–Coffin–Basquin (MCB) modeling, and post-mortem scanning electron microscopy was employed to compare as-built (BOC) and steam-sterilized (OC) specimens. While steam sterilization induces a reduction in tensile ductility and suppresses macroscopic necking, fatigue experiments reveal a counterintuitive response: sterilized specimens exhibit extended fatigue crack propagation zones and altered damage evolution despite their more brittle-like monotonic behavior. The results demonstrate a non-trivial decoupling between monotonic tensile embrittlement and fatigue crack propagation mechanisms in MEX-processed PEEK. Fractographic and hysteresis analyses indicate that sterilization modifies inter-filament cohesion and volumetric damage mechanisms, promoting stable fatigue crack growth at lower effective stress intensities rather than premature catastrophic failure. These findings provide mechanistic insight into sterilization-induced fatigue degradation pathways in additively manufactured PEEK and highlight the necessity of considering post-processing effects beyond static properties when qualifying polymer implants for fatigue-sensitive biomedical applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":383,"journal":{"name":"Materials & Design","volume":"263 ","pages":"Article 115583"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146185959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excessive oxidative stress and neuroinflammation drive progressive neuronal injury after ischemia–reperfusion, with ferroptosis emerging as a key downstream form of regulated cell death, thereby underscoring the need for lesion-specific and sustained neuroprotective interventions. Propofol exhibits intrinsic antioxidant, mitochondrial-protective, and anti-ferroptotic activities beyond its anesthetic effects. However, its therapeutic application in ischemic stroke is constrained by insufficient accumulation at ischemic lesion sites and rapid systemic clearance, resulting in unstable neuroprotective efficacy. In this study, we developed a macrophage membrane–coated lipid nanoparticle loaded with propofol (MCM@LNP@Propofol), integrating efficient liposomal encapsulation, membrane-biomimetic inflammation targeting, and environmentally responsive drug release within a single modular platform. The nanoparticles exhibit high encapsulation efficiency, uniform size distribution and colloidal stability. The macrophage membrane coating preserves key immune-evading and inflammation-homing features, markedly enhancing propofol accumulation in ischemic brain lesions compared with non-biomimetic liposomes. Furthermore, incorporation of an ROS-sensitive thioketal–PEG linker endows the system with dual pH/ROS responsiveness, enabling spatially controlled drug release within the ischemia–reperfusion microenvironment. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that MCM@LNP@Propofol effectively suppresses ferroptosis, restores mitochondrial homeostasis, and significantly improves neurological function. Mechanistic investigations further reveal that these protective effects are mediated predominantly through activation of the EGFR/NRF2 signaling axis. Overall, this work presents a multifunctional, inflammation-targeted nanotherapeutic platform that stabilizes and enhances the therapeutic performance of propofol, offering a safe and translatable materials-based strategy for ischemic stroke treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":383,"journal":{"name":"Materials & Design","volume":"263 ","pages":"Article 115627"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146185319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This framework strategically balances the computational effort between high- and low-fidelity evaluations, thereby reducing experimental burden while effectively guiding the search towards optimal compositions. MFAL was applied to high-entropy alloy (HEA) design, enabling the discovery of compositions that approach the theoretical minimum coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).

The quantitative study shows that the MFAL framework achieved near-optimal convergence in around 75 iterations, using only 55–65% costly high-fidelity evaluations, in contrast to single-fidelity methods that needed 100% high-fidelity assessments. Compared to trial-and-error approaches, MFAL delivers five-fold improvement in optimization speed while requiring 40% fewer high-fidelity evaluations than conventional methods.
