Summary: This study presents a facile fabrication strategy for a three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide hydrogel embedded with lignin nanoparticles (LNP), which exhibits promising potential for environmental applications. The LNP were synthesized from walnut shell waste via a direct chemical method and were integrated into the continuous porous network of rGO to create the rGO@LNP hydrogel. Various analytical techniques were employed to characterize the structure and properties of the hydrogel. The efficiency of the hydrogel as an adsorptive platform was evaluated using methylene blue and Pb2+ as model pollutants, and its antibacterial activities were also tested. The results demonstrated that the inclusion of LNP significantly enhanced the pollutant's uptake ability of the hydrogel and exhibited improved bactericidal effect compared to bare LNP and rGO. This innovative approach utilizing the synergy of functional properties of LNP and rGO has great potential for water filtration and remediation.

Summary: Polymeric rubber and organic semiconductor H2Pc-CNT composite-based shockproof deformable infrared radiation (IR) sensors were fabricated using a rubbing-in technique. The sensors showed decreased resistance and impedance when exposed to IR irradiation, and the temperature coefficients of resistance (TCR) were 1.2 and 1.1 for the surface-type and sandwich-type sensors, respectively. The high TCR value and novel composition of the H2Pc-CNT composite make these devices attractive for bolometric applications, and their easy fabrication and low-cost materials make them commercially viable.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
