Polymer networks built out of dynamic covalent bonds offer the potential to translate the
control and tunability of chemical reactions to macroscopic physical properties. Under …

Neovascularization is critical to improve the diabetic microenvironment, deliver abundant
nutrients to the wound and promote wound closure. However, the excess of oxidative stress …

Intrinsic self-healing polymeric materials are substances that relieve external stress and
restore their original mechanical properties after extreme damage via dynamic covalent …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs), unlike typical thermosets or other covalently
crosslinked networks, possess a unique, often dormant ability to activate one or more forms …

Bacteria and excessive inflammation are two main factors causing non-healing wounds.
However, current studies have mainly focused on the inhibition of bacteria survival for …

Boron-containing compounds (BCC) have emerged as important pharmacophores. To date,
five BCC drugs (including boronic acids and boroles) have been approved by the FDA for …

Dynamic bonds introduce unique properties such as self‐healing, recyclability, shape
memory, and malleability to polymers. Significant efforts have been made to synthesize a …

Bioprinting researchers agree that “printability” is a key characteristic for bioink
development, but neither the meaning of the term nor the best way to experimentally …

Hydrogel adhesion inherently relies on engineering the contact surface at soft and hydrated
interfaces. Upon contact, adhesion normally occurs through the formation of chemical or …
