    Abstract Carbon nanotubes/polyaniline (CNTs/PANI) composites have attracted significant attention in thermoelectric (TE) conversion due to their excellent stability and easy synthesis. However, their TE performance is far from practical demands, and few flexible yarns/fibers have been developed for wearable electronics. Herein, we developed flexible CNTs/PANI yarns with outstanding TE properties via facile soaking of CNT yarns in a PANI solution, in which the PANI layer was coated on the CNT surface and served as a bridge to interconnect adjacent CNT filaments. With optimizing PANI concentration, immersing duration, and doping level of PANI, the power factor reached 1294 μW m

    Abstract Biological strong and tough materials have been providing original structural designs for developing bioinspired high-performance composites. However, new synergistic strengthening and toughening mechanisms from bioinspired structures remain yet to be explored and employed to upgrade current carbon material reinforced polymer composites, which are keystone to various modern industries. In this work, from bamboo, the featured cell face-bridging fibers, are abstracted and embedded in a cellular network structure, and develop an epoxy resin/carbon composite featuring biomimetic architecture through a fabrication approach integrating freeze casting, carbonization, and resin infusion with carbon fibers (CFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Results show that this bamboo-inspired crack-face bridging fiber reinforced composite simultaneously possesses a high strength (430.8 MPa) and an impressive toughness (8.3 MPa m

    Abstract Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) presents the similar trend and prevalence of lymph node metastasis to other biliary tract cancer. There is still a necessity and possibility for the current classification of lymph node in the 8th TNM of iCCA, which is the same as the criteria of hepatoma carcinoma (HCC), to further improve the prognostic capacity. We aim to explore the optimal positive lymph nodes cutoff value that could predict the survival outcomes of patients with iCCA and further establish a prognostic nomogram.
    Method: Clinical characteristics were retrospectively collected in 292 patients with iCCA from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) for preliminary analysis. A retrospective analysis of 107 patients with iCCA in the First Hospital of Dalian Medical University (FHDMU) was performed for verification. R software was used to determine the optimal cutoff value of positive lymph nodes (PLN) and further establish the nomogram with the Cox regression model in the primary cohort.
    Results: In those patients who were graded into the N1 stage in 8th TNM staging system, the patients with PLN between 1 and 3 showed significantly better overall survival than those patients with more than 4 PLN (P < 0.0001). Moreover, there was a significant correlation between the new PLN classification and adverse clinical characteristic including Micro Invasion (P = 0.001), Lymph Vessel Invasion (P = 0.040), Satellite Sites (P < 0.001), and Tumor Size (P = 0.005). The PLN and ELN were both independent prognostic factors for survival outcomes in the multivariate analysis, and further showed large contribution to the nomogram. The nomogram achieved a satisfied C-index of 0.813 for overall survival (OS), 0.869 for progression-free survival (PFS) in the primary cohort, and 0.787 for OS, 0.762 for PFS in the validation cohort.
    Conclusion: The modified classification of PLN in iCCA could accurately stratify the N1 stage patients in 8th TNM staging system into two groups with significantly different overall survival. The development of this nomogram can offer new evidence to precisely post-operative management of iCCA patients.

    Abstract Protein assembly, a common phenomenon in nature, plays an important role in the evolution of life. Inspired by nature, assembling protein monomers into delicate nanostructures has emerged as an attractive research area. However, sophisticated protein assemblies usually need complicated designs or templates. In this work, we successfully fabricated protein nanotubes in a facile way by coordination interactions between imidazole-grafted horseradish peroxidase (HRP) nanogels (iHNs) and Cu

    Abstract Hydrogels find important roles in biomedicine, wearable electronics, and soft robotics, but their mechanical properties are often unsatisfactory. Conventional tough hydrogel designs are based on hydrophilic networks with sacrificial bonds, while the incorporation of hydrophobic polymers into hydrogels is less well understood. In this work, a hydrogel toughening strategy is demonstrated by introducing a hydrophobic polymer as reinforcement. Semicrystalline hydrophobic polymer chains are "woven" into a hydrophilic network via entropy-driven miscibility. In-situ-formed sub-micrometer crystallites stiffen the network, while entanglements between hydrophobic polymer and hydrophilic network enable large deformation before failure. The hydrogels are stiff, tough, and durable at high swelling ratios of 6-10, and the mechanical properties are tunable. Moreover, they can effectively encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules.

    Abstract Biodegradable polymers and composites are promising candidates for biomedical implants in tissue engineering. However, state-of-the-art composite scaffolds suffer from a strength-toughness dilemma due to poor interfacial adhesion and filler dispersion. In this work, we propose a facile and scalable strategy to fabricate strong and tough biocomposite scaffolds through interfacial toughening. The immiscible biopolymer matrix is compatible by the direct incorporation of a third polymer. Densely entangled polymer chains lead to massive crazes and global shear yields under tension. Weak chemical interaction and high-shear melt processing create nanoscale dispersion of nanofillers within the matrix. The resultant ternary blends and composites exhibit an 11-fold increase in toughness without compromising stiffness and strength. At 70% porosity, three-dimensional (3D)-printed composite scaffolds demonstrate high compressive properties comparable to those of cancellous bones. In vitro cell culture on the scaffolds demonstrates not only good cell viability but also effective osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. Our findings present a widely applicable strategy to develop high-performance biocomposite materials for tissue regeneration.

    Abstract Polymers from renewable resources play a key role in the paradigm shift towards a sustainable society. However, two common bioplastics, polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) still lack the toughness and flexibility for practical applications. This work reports a design strategy to fabricate robust biocomposites based on PLA and PHB by direct mixing with a small amount of biodegradable poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The PLA/PHB/PEO green composites exhibit an extreme elongation of ∼300% (50-fold increase) and a tensile fracture energy up to ∼87 MJ m⁻³ (90-fold increase), while maintaining high strength (∼49 MPa) and modulus (∼3.4 GPa) comparable to commercial poly(ethylene terephthalate). Even after repeated bending, folding and crumpling, the biocomposite film remains highly stretchable (elongation ∼ 100%). The excellent mechanical performance is attributed to interfacial miscibility and entanglement networks driven by favorable mixing entropy. The reported composite is the first PLA/PHB based bioplastic that can be shaped, folded and crumpled, demonstrating its prospects as a substrate in green flexible electronic devices. This design strategy opens ample opportunities for facile preparation of biopolymer materials for future applications.

    Abstract The mechanism behind the resilience of polymeric materials, typically attributed to the well-established entropy elasticity, often ignores the contribution of enthalpy variation (ΔH), because it is based on the assumption of an ideal chain. However, this model does not fully account for the reduced resilience of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) during long-range deformation, which is mainly caused by the dynamics of physical crosslink networks. Such reduction is undesirable for long-range stretchable TPU considering its wide application range. Therefore, a negative ΔH effect is established in this work to facilitate instant recovery in long-range stretchable TPU, achieved by constructing a reversible interim interface via strain-induced phase separation. Consequently, the newly constructed dual soft segmental TPU shows resilience efficiency exceeding 95%, surpassing many synthetic high-performance TPUs with typical efficiencies below 80%, and comparable to biomaterials. Moreover, a remarkable hysteresis loop with a ratio exceeding 50%, makes it a viable candidate for applications such as artificial ligaments or buffer belts. The research also clarifies structural factors influencing resilience, including the symmetry of the dual soft segments and the content of hard segments, offering valuable insights for the design of highly resilient long-range stretchable elastomers.
