Surface biofunctionalisation, through biomolecule and hydrogel incorporation, enhances cellular adhesion, growth, and differentiation by providing essential biochemical and mechanical cues. However, achieving effective biofunctionalisation within the intricate, tissue-mimicking architectures of porous materials remains a significant challenge. The complex architectures often hinder uniform exposure to reaction media, i.e. liquids, gases, or plasma, thereby limiting the scalability and efficiency of existing methods. This review uncovers state-of-the-art strategies, elucidates the underlying mechanisms of surface biofunctionalisation, and identifies key challenges, including achieving uniform coverage, maintaining bioactivity, and enabling spatial control of biomolecule distribution. We identify that solvent-free approaches will drive the advancement of scalable surface biofunctionalisation for industrial and clinical applications, while novel surface treatment methods using biorthogonal click/cleavage chemistry or stimuli-responsive materials enable selective, efficient, and precise functionalisation processes. By synthesising recent advancements, we provide a forward-looking perspective on the future of surface biofunctionalisation, proposing directions to advance scalable, sustainable, and precision biomolecule immobilisation on porous materials. These insights aim to facilitate the development of biofunctional interfaces for next-generation tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":411,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Materials Science","volume":"154 ","pages":"Article 101518"},"PeriodicalIF":33.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144130614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional sensors, which operate on the “lock-and-key” principle, offer high selectivity and specificity for detecting particular analytes. However, this design makes them unsuitable for the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable interest in the realm of optical sensor arrays due to their diverse metal nodes and ligands, as well as the guest species that can be encapsulated within their channels or pores. This versatility makes MOFs highly advantageous for developing multi-channel single-sensing-element sensor arrays. The primary emphasis of this comprehensive review is on the intrinsic structure-performance relationship and development status of MOF-based optical sensor arrays. First, this review offers a concise explanation of the underlying theory and operational steps involved in optical sensor arrays. Second, the construction strategies for cross-reactive sensing elements are thoroughly presented. Third, the applications of MOF-based optical sensor arrays in identifying and detecting target analytes are explored comprehensively. This includes their use in environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis, food quality assessment, and the analysis of complex systems.

Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of inoculation treatment in addressing the non-printability of high-strength Al alloys by promoting the formation of equiaxed grains. Since then, significant progress has been made in controlling microstructure and improving the mechanical properties of these alloys. This state-of-the-art review presents the emerging research on inoculated high-strength Al alloys fabricated through two major AM technologies: powder bed fusion (PBF) and directed energy deposition (DED). The efficiency of different inoculants and alloying elements in grain refinement are discussed based on the existing theories. Novel processing strategies for controlling the microstructures of these inoculated high-strength Al alloys are also examined. This review underscores that grain refinement in inoculated high-strength Al alloys produced via AM depends on multiple factors, including the selection of inoculants, inoculation techniques, solute elements, and processing strategies. While recent studies mainly focus on modifying alloy compositions, this review emphasizes the critical role of solidification process control in regulating the grain structure. Numerical simulations specifically developed for predicting the grain structure of these alloys, which can aid in the process optimization, are also reviewed. The subsequent discussion covers the effect of inoculation treatment on mechanical properties. The article concludes by outlining the major findings and presenting future outlooks.
