    Abstract Hydrogels have been demonstrated as smart drug carriers to recognize the tumor microenvironment for cancer treatment, where the dynamic crosslinks in the hydrogel network contribute to the stimuli-responsive features but also result in poor stability and weak mechanical property of the hydrogels. Here, phenylboronic acid-grafted polyethyleneimine (PBA-PEI)-modified gelatin (PPG) was synthesized to crosslink alginate dialdehyde (ADA) through imine bonds and boronate ester bonds, and then calcium ions (Ca²⁺) were added to introduce the third calcium-carboxylate crosslinking in the network to form the triple-crosslinked PPG/ADA + Ca²⁺ hydrogels. Given the three types of dynamic bonds in the network, PPG/ADA + Ca²⁺ hydrogels possessed a self-healing manner, stimuli-responsiveness, and better mechanical properties compared to single- or double-crosslinked hydrogels. The controlled release capability of PPG/ADA + Ca²⁺ hydrogels was also demonstrated, showing the encapsulated molecules can be rapidly released from the hydrogel network in the presence of hydrogen peroxide while the release rate can be slowed down at acidic pH. Furthermore, PPG/ADA + Ca²⁺ hydrogels presented selected cytotoxicity and drug delivery to cancer cells due to the regulated degradation by the cellular microenvironment. Taken together, PPG/ADA + Ca²⁺ hydrogels have been demonstrated as promising biomaterials with multiple desirable properties and dynamic features to perform controlled molecule release for biomedical applications.

    Abstract Alginate is a biopolymer that can be crosslinked with calcium ions to fabricate cytocompatible hydrogels. However, using calcium ions to crosslink alginate provides limited properties and functions to alginate hydrogels, restricting their biomedical applications. Here, phenylboronic acid-functionalized polyethyleneimine (PBA-PEI) was developed to introduce two orthogonal dynamic covalent crosslinks in the alginate hydrogels, where PBA-PEI was used to crosslink alginate dialdehyde (ADA) through imine bonds and boronate ester bonds. The grafting degree of PBA in the PEI structure was applied to fine-tune the properties of PBA-PEI/ADA hydrogels, including the rheological property, mechanical strength, swelling behavior, and antibacterial activity. In particular, the highly sensitive boronate ester bonds in the network enabled PBA-PEI/ADA hydrogels to be responsive to several stimuli, such as glucose, fructose, and hydrogen peroxide. Taken together, PBA-PEI/ADA hydrogels with tunable properties and multiple stimuli-responsiveness have been demonstrated as smart biomaterials for advanced biomedical applications.

    Abstract Nanocomposite (NC) hydrogels are emerging biomaterials that possess desirable and defined properties and functions for therapeutics and diagnostics. Particularly, nanoparticles (NPs) are employed as stimulus-transducers in NC hydrogels to facilitate the treatment process by providing controllable structural change and payload release under internal and external simulations. Among the various external stimuli, near-infrared (NIR) light has attracted considerable interest due to its minimal photo-damage, deep tissue penetration, low auto-fluorescence in living systems, facile on/off switch, easy remote and spatiotemporal control. In this study, we discuss four types of transducing nanomaterials used in NIR-responsive NC hydrogels, including metal-based nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials, polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs), and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). This review provides an overview of the current progress in NIR-responsive NC hydrogels, focusing on their preparation, properties, applications, and future prospects.

    Abstract Nanocomposite double-network hydrogels (ncDN hydrogels) are recently introduced to address the limitations of traditional DN hydrogels, such as the lack of diversity in the network structure and the restricted functionalities. However, two challenges remain, including the time-consuming preparation and the lack of shear-thinning and self-healing properties. Here, our approach to developing versatile ncDN hydrogels is through the use of multiple interfacial crosslinking chemistries (i.e., noncovalent interactions of electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonds as well as dynamic covalent interactions of imine bonds and boronate ester bonds) and surface functionalized nanomaterials (i.e. phenylboronic acid modified reduced graphene oxide (PBA-rGO)). PBA-rGO was used as a multivalent gelator to further crosslink the two polymer chains (i.e. triethylene glycol-grafted chitosan (TEG-CS) and polydextran aldehyde (PDA)) in DN hydrogels, forming the TEG-CS/PDA/PBA-rGO ncDN hydrogels in seconds. The microstructures (i.e. pore size) and properties (i.e. rheological, mechanical, and swelling properties) of the ncDN hydrogels can be simply modulated by changing the amount of PBA-rGO. The dynamic bonds in the polymeric network provided the shear-thinning and self-healing properties to the ncDN hydrogels, allowing the hydrogels to be injected and molded into varied shapes as well as self-repair the damaged structure. Besides, the designed TEG-CS/PDA/PBA-rGO ncDN hydrogels were cytocompatible and also exhibited antibacterial activity. Taken together, we hereby provide a nanomaterial approach to fabricate a new class of ncDN hydrogels with tailorable networks and favorite properties for specific applications.
