Summary: In this study, injectable PNIPAM/PVP interpenetrating polymer networks were fabricated and characterized. The results show that the internal structure of the injectable IPNs can be controlled by adjusting the PVP molecular weight and degree of thiolation. The PNIPAM gelation drives the formation of domains, with PNIPAM mainly located in the PVP-rich domains and PVP entrapped in the PNIPAM-rich domain. Additionally, the structural reconfiguration of the IPNs can be achieved by heating above the volume phase transition temperature of the PNIPAM phase, which is influenced by the molecular weight and thiolation degree of the PVP precursor polymers.

Summary: Flexible graft-interpenetrating polymer networks were synthesized using polyurethane and acrylic-based copolymers, with styrene and methyl methacrylate as co-monomers. The chemical bonds between the polymers in the network helped decrease phase separation, and changing the co-monomer composition affected the properties of the IPN system. Various tests were conducted to characterize the thermo-mechanical and mechanical properties of the IPN samples, showing excellent transparency, impact resistance, and potential for high-performance applications.

Summary: Novel composite hydrogels based on poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)/polyacrylamide pseudo-interpenetrating polymer networks (pIPNs) and magnetite were prepared through in situ precipitation of Fe3+/Fe2+ ions within the hydrogel structure. The size of the magnetite crystallites depended on the hydrogel composition, and an interaction between the hydrogel matrix and Fe ions influenced the formation of magnetite particles. The composite hydrogels exhibited pH and ionic strength responsiveness as well as superparamagnetic properties, demonstrating the potential of pIPNs as matrices for controlled inorganic particle deposition in polymer nanocomposite production.

Summary: In this study, a highly effective surfactant producer strain, Bacillus Cereus GX7, was isolated from the oil tank bottom sludge of Shengli Oil Field in China. The biosurfactant produced by GX7 was identified as surfactin, a lipopeptide surfactant, through TLC, FT-IR, and LC-MS/MS analysis. The fermentation process of GX7 was optimized using single-factor experiments, focusing on the composition of fermentation medium and fermentation conditions. Glucose and peptone were found to be the best carbon and nitrogen sources, and the optimum temperature, inoculum amount, pH, rotation speed, and fermentation time for the strain were determined to be 30°C, 1%, 7.5, 150 rpm, and 48 h, respectively. After optimization, the surface tension and emulsification index of the fermentation broth were 26.84 mN/m and 57.84%, respectively. Furthermore, the biosurfactant produced by GX7 demonstrated good stability over a wide range of temperature, pH, and salt concentration.

Summary: Effective management of biofluids is crucial for in vivo surgical interventions. Recent advances include self-sealing needles, drug-eluting stents, and shear-thinning hydrogels. However, complications associated with intestinal mucosal injury and secondary damage still persist. In this study, researchers developed an interpenetrating Janus wettability stent coating that enables unidirectional draining of excessive biofluid. They also demonstrated directional biofluid movement using a self-pumping dressing with potential applications in biofluid collection and disease diagnosis through metal ion detection. This integrated system presents an opportunity for designing wound dressings with effective biofluid management and metal ion detection capabilities.
