文摘The development of biomimetic scaffolds that can promote osteogenic induction and vascularization is of great importance for the repair of large bone defects.In the present study,inorganic bioactive glass(BG)and organic polycaprolactone(PCL)are effectively combined by electrospinning and electrospray techniques to construct three-dimensional(3D)BG/PCL microfibrous spheres for the repair of bulk bone defects.The hybrid fibers,as well as the as-obtained 3D structure,can mimic the composition and architecture of native bone tissues.Furthermore,the BG/PCL microfibrous spheres show excellent biocompatibility and provide sufficient space and attachment sites for cell growth.The osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells is also effectively facilitated when cultured on such hybrid microfibrous spheres.In vivo investigation utilizing rat femoral condyle bone defect models demonstrates that the BG/PCL microfibrous spheres loaded with bone mesenchymal stem cells can induce angiogenesis and promote the upregulation of bone-related protein expression,thus effectively facilitating bone regeneration at the defect site.The collective findings indicate that such BG/PCL hybrid microfibrous spheres have the potential to be effective carriers of stem cells.The microfibrous spheres loaded with stem cells have promising potential to be utilized as implantable biomaterials for the repair of bone defects.

文摘With the accelerated development of global industrialization,environmental issues,such as airborne and water pollution caused by suspended solid particulate matter(PM)seriously endanger ecosystems and human health.Fibrous filtration and separation membranes provide an effective approach to pollution treatment,yet they still face challenges in efficient and high-flux purification of highly permeable ultrafine particles.Herein,an ultrafine nanofiber-based membrane with rational hierarchical networks is designed for both air and water filtration.Through the proposed jet branching electrospinning strategy,a multiscale fiber membrane consisting of ultrafine nanofibers,medium fibers,and coarse submicron fibers is prepared.It possesses the merits of ultrafine fiber diameter,ultralow pore size,high specific surface area,and unique hybrid structure.Benefiting from these features,the obtained multiscale fibrous filter shows superior PM0.3 air filtration performance(99.96%PM0.3 removal,low pressure drop of 89 Pa)and water filtration capacity(ultrafine particle rejection efficiency of 99.50%,water flux of 9028.84 L m^(-2) h^(-1)).Moreover,the controllable structure of a multiscale fiber filter also endows itself with stable and durable filtration capacity.This work may provide meaningful references for the development of high-performance filtration and separation materials.

文摘Wound injuries are prevalent,and inappropriate dressings can heighten the risk of bacterial infections and extend the duration of recovery.Conventional wound dressings lack adaptability to the skin,and provide insufficient anti-leakage properties,failing to offer effective physical protection.Films composed of nano-or micro-fibers,due to their suitable softness and excellent deformation capabilities,are apt for wound repair.While electrospinning is employed to produce fibrous wound dressings,its complex procedures and the use of high voltage electric fields can impair the activity of bioactive molecules.In this study,we employed solution blow spinning to produce in-situ hybrids of hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene(SEBS)block copolymer with Ag or TiO_(2)nanoparticles for wound dressings.The SEBS polymer forms a closely fitting fibrous membrane on the skin surface via rapid solvent evaporation driven by high-speed airflow.This fibrous membrane demonstrates optimal hydrophobicity,breathability,ductility,and flexibility,aligning well with human skin,to ensure effective physical protection.Upon incorporation of Ag nanoparticles,the fibrous membrane displays robust antibacterial effects against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)and Escherichia coli(E.coli).Evaluations of wound healing in MRSA-infected wounds,when compared to commercial Tegaderm^(TM)films,show that the SEBS-based fibrous membranes effectively reduce infection,expedite wound closure,enhance collagen deposition,suppress the expression of inflammationrelated cytokines and elevate the expression of angiogenesis-related cytokines,thus significantly promoting infected wounds.

文摘With the advancement of flexible bioelectronics,developing highly elastic and breathable piezoelectric materials and devices that achieve conformal deformation,synchronous electromechanical coupling with the human body and high-fidelity collec-tion of biological information remains a significant challenge.Here,a nanoconfinement self-assembly strategy is developed to prepare elastic phenylalanine dipeptide(FF)crystal fibers,in which FF crystals form a unique Mortise-Tenon structure with oriented styrene-block-butadiene-block-styrene molecular beams and thereby obtain elasticity(≈1200%),flexibility(Young’s modulus:0.409±0.031 MPa),piezoelectricity(macroscopic d_(33):10.025±0.33 pC N^(-1)),breathability,and physical stability.Furthermore,elastic FF crystal fibers are used to develop a flexible human physiological movement sensing system by integrating Ga–In alloy coating and wireless electronic transmission components.The system can undergo conformal deformation with human skin and achieve high-fidelity capture of biological information originating from human body motions to prevent diseases(such as Parkinson’s disease).In addition,this system also displays superior sensitivity and accu-racy in detecting subtle pressure changes in vivo during heartbeats,respiration,and diaphragm movement.Therefore,elastic FF crystal fibers hold great potential for developing new flexible electromechanical sensors that are capable of conformal deformation with the human body,enabling precision medical diagnosis and efficient energy harvesting.

文摘Integrating passive radiative cooling techniques with wearable fabrics provides a zero-energy strategy for preventing people from heat stress and reducing cooling demand.However,developing wearable passive radiative cooling fabrics with ideal optical characteristics,wearability,and scalability has consistently presented a challenge.Here,we developed a metafabric with high sunlight reflectivity(88.07%)according to the design of an individual photonic structure,which demonstrates total internal reflection with the tailored triangular light track.A skin simulator covered by metafabric exhibits a temperature drop of 7.17℃ in the daytime compared with regular polyester fabric in an outdoor cooling test.Consequently,it was theoretically proven to exert a substantial influence on achieving a significant cooling demand reduction of 52.69–185.79 W·m^(-2).These characteristics,coupled with structural stability,air-moisture permeability,sufficient wearability,and scalability,allowed the metafabric to provide a solution for introducing zero-energy passive radiative cooling technique into human body cooling.
