Environmentally Adaptive Polymer Hydrogels: Maintaining Wet-Soft Features in Extreme Conditions

Hydrogels have been widely explored to adapt to different application circumstances. As typical wet-soft materials, the high-water content of hydrogels is beneficial to their wide biomedical applications. Moreover, hydrogels have been displaying considerable application potential in some high-tech areas, like brain-computer interface, intelligent actuator, flexible sensor, etc. However, traditional hydrogel is susceptive to freezing below zero, dehydration, performance swelling-induced deformation, and suffers from mechanical damage in extremely mechanical environments, which result in the loss of wet-soft peculiarities (e.g., flexibility, structure integrity, transparency), greatly limiting their applications. Therefore, reducing the freezing point, improving the dehydration/solution resistance, and designing mechanical adaptability are effective strategies to endow hydrogels with the extreme environmental adaptability, thus broadening their application fields. This review systematically summarizes research advances of environmentally adaptive hydrogels (EAHs), comprising anti-freezing, dehydration-resistant, acid/base/swelling deformation-resistant, and mechanical environment adaptive hydrogels (MEAHs). Firstly, fabrication methods are presented, including the deep eutectic solvent/ionic liquid substituent, the addition of salts, organogel, polymer network modification, and double network (DN) complex/nanocomposite strategy, etc. Meanwhile, the features of different approaches are overviewed. The mechanisms, properties, and applications (e.g., intelligent actuator, wound dressing, flexible sensor) of EAHs are demonstrated. Finally, the issues and future perspectives for EAHs’ researches are demonstrated.     

Synthesis of Amorphous/Crystalline Hetero-Phase Nanozymes With Peroxidase-Like Activity by Coordination-Driven Self-Assembly for Biosensors

Nanozymes and amorphous nanomaterials attract great attention owing to their extraordinary properties. However, the requirements for special synthesis conditions become the bottleneck of their development. Herein, a new strategy involving the DNA-based coordination-driven self-assembly is reported for the synthesis of a novel amorphous/crystalline hetero-phase nanozyme (Fe-DNA). For the synthesis of both nanozymes and amorphous materials, this strategy is simple and controllable, avoiding the traditionally employed harsh conditions. Benefitting from the amorphous structure and the superior physicochemical properties, the synthesized Fe-DNA nanozyme is subsequently found to exhibit a smaller Michaelis constant value for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) (0.81 mm ) than that of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (3.70 mm ), demonstrating the stronger affinity of the Fe-DNA nanozyme toward H₂O₂. The Fe-DNA nanozyme also shows significant peroxidase-like activity but only negligible oxidase-like activity, a characteristic which releases the corresponding assay system from oxygen interference, thereby improving the performance of the nanozyme-based sensing platform. In addition, compared with other nanozymes, the novel Fe-DNA nanozyme is degradable via phosphate; thus, mitigating potential environmental threat. This work provides novel amorphous/crystalline hetero-phase nanozymes and opens a new avenue for the design of amorphous nanomaterials and nanozymes.
