Consequently, there is an urgent need for the development of a multi-functional wound dressing that integrates synergistic anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, angiogenic, and collagen regeneration capabilities. Hydrogels have emerged as promising biomaterials for skin wound treatment due to their excellent biocompatibility, remarkable anti-inflammatory properties, injectability, and adhesiveness. In this study, we synthesized a methacryloyl hydrogel (GelMA) dressing infused with curcumin (Cur), exploiting the advantageous biologic characteristics of GelMA to address the challenges associated with the rate of metabolism of Cur and the barriers to its skin permeability. In vitro experiments demonstrated that Cur–GelMA exhibited favorable biocompatibility and possessed anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and angiogenic properties. Furthermore, in vivo experimental findings confirmed that Cur–GelMA effectively regulated inflammation, promoted angiogenesis, and facilitated collagen regeneration in skin defects of a diabetic mouse model, thereby accelerating the wound healing process.

The high cooling rates that are experienced by the materials being deposited favor the formation of refined metastable phases. Among these, the formation of refined icosahedral quasicrystals, embedded in an Al matrix, is an especially desirable surface microstructure, due to its low friction coefficient and high hardness, which are essential for applications demanding resistance to scratches and wear. It has been recently shown that decagonal quasicrystals forming in Al-Cu-Fe–Cr alloys can transform into icosahedral quasicrystals when rapid solidification methods are applied. This trend is further intensified when the Al concentration is increased. In this sense, the present work aims at applying the laser cladding process using a pre-alloyed Al<sub>67</sub>Cu<sub>20</sub>Fe<sub>5</sub>Cr<sub>8</sub> (%at.) and commercial purity Al powders to study the effect of the rapid cooling rates and Al dilution, that the pre-alloyed powders will be subjected to, on the nature of the quasicrystalline phase formed. In addition, this work also focuses on obtaining adequate laser cladding parameters that yield high quality coatings on the Al substrate. This work shows that using a mixture of Al-Cu-Fe–Cr and pure Al powders resulted in a suitable dilution depth, which led to a homogeneous distribution of the reinforcing particles in the Al matrix. On the other hand, the cladded surfaces produced with only the Al-Cu-Fe–Cr powder resulted in coatings with almost no dilution into the Al substrate and, consequently, poor interfacial microstructure quality. It is also shown that although the pre-alloyed powder consisted mostly of decagonal quasicrystals, when this alloy was diluted to more Al-concentrated compositions and subjected to the fast solidification conditions of the laser cladding process, the quasicrystals formed belong to the icosahedral structure. The laser-clad track with the highest quality was obtained with the Al-Cu-Fe–Cr + Al powder mixture, subjected to a laser power of 200 W, which resulted in a microstructure composed of fine and well-distributed icosahedral quasicrystalline particles dispersed in the Al matrix.
