Wettability of membrane is of vital importance for treatment of oily wastewater. In recent years, hydrophilic modifications based on plant polyphenol have been widely investigated to enhance the anti-fouling property of membranes due to their mild conditions, versatility and low cost. However, there are still some problems in improving raw material utilization and hydrophilicity. Herein, a facile method was proposed to optimize tannic acid (TA)-based membrane modification process by synergistically inducing TA deposition by Fe 3+ and SP with the assistance of inkjet printing. The hydrophobicity of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane was converted to hydrophilicity (WCA = 34.6°) and underwater oleophobicity (UOCA = 144.4°) in very short time (10 min). The optimum PVDF/Fe-TA-SP 422 membrane possessed high flux (4968.4–7340.4 L m −2 h −1 ·bar −1 ) for a number of oil/water emulsions with high separation efficiency (>98%), outperforming most state-of-the-art membranes for oil-water separation. Furthermore, the optimized membrane displayed not only high antifouling property and reusability with flux recovery ratio of 89.1%–98.0% after eight-cycle filtration, but also desired stability under near neutral pH conditions during long-term running. The combination of inkjet printing method with these materials proposed in this study is convenient, efficient and low cost, and the prepared membranes are versatility, providing novel insights into preparation of high efficiency membranes for oily wastewater treatment .

Tannic acid (TA) is a promising material to prepare nanofiltration membranes due to its multiple interaction abilities with metal ions and zwitterionic polymer via coordination interaction and electrostatic interaction, respectively. Herein, we proposed a multiple layer-by-layer (mLBL) assembly strategy using three assembly materials for the rapid preparation of TA based zwitterionic nanofiltration membranes with enhanced antifouling performance, which was compared with the non-zwitterionic nanofiltration membranes prepared via the conventional layer-by-layer (cLBL) assembly. Among a series of transition metal ions, Fe 3+ was chosen to prepare nanofiltration membranes. The ATR-FTIR and XPS analysis revealed the TA/Fe 3+ layer was formed and the poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) polymer was successfully assembled on membrane surface. The prepared zwitterionic nanofiltration membranes showed enhanced hydrophilicity, roughness and zeta potential than the non-zwitterionic nanofiltration membranes. The influence of TA/Fe 3+ bilayer number and PSBMA concentration on membrane performance was systematically studied and the rejection properties of the prepared membranes for dyes and salts were also investigated. Under the optimum preparation condition, the zwitterionic (TA/Fe 3+ ) 1.5 /PSBMA membrane showed water permeability of 40.36 LMH/bar with rose bengal (RB) rejection more than 98% and Na 2 SO 4 rejection about 60%. Because of the introduction of the PSBMA polymer, the zwitterionic (TA/Fe 3+ ) 1.5 /PSBMA membrane showed better antifouling performance than non-zwitterionic (TA/Fe 3+ ) 2.5 membrane with similar rejection properties.

Tannic acid (TA)-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) coating has excellent hydrophilicity, and can be applied to a variety of materials. But it has poor stability in the air. To improve its stability, we have developed TA-APTES-Fe(III) coating in our previous work, but there are still some problems remained such as tedious steps, and undesirable anti-crude oil-adhesion performance, etc. Besides, both TA-APTES and TA-APTES-Fe(III) coating cannot realize the hydrophilic modification of the inner surfaces of porous polypropylene (PP) membrane. To solve the above mentioned problems, we developed superhydrophilic and stable TA-APTES- tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) coating via one-step process in this study. The new coating can realize the superhydrophilic modification of the inner surfaces of porous PP membrane, and endows the PP membrane with good water permeability, which cannot be realized by our previously reported TA-APTES and TA-APTES-Fe(III) coating. Besides, the stability of the coating is greatly improved by introducing stable alcoholic hydroxyl groups derived from TEOS, and the resultant modified membrane can keep superhydrophilic (CA about 0°) and underwater superhydrophobic (underwater oil CA above 150°) even after being stored in air for more than 6 months, ultrasonic treatment for 10 min, or being rinsed by water for 24 h (3000r/min), exhibiting outstanding stability. More importantly, the crude oil adhesion force of the new coating is as low as 4 μN even under the preload force of 300 μN, showing excellent anti-crude oil-adhesion property. The PP membrane modified by the new coating possesses ultrahigh water flux (10384 L m -2 h -1 bar -1 ) and can realize highly efficient separation of oil-in-water emulsion (above 99%). This work is expected to accelerate the practical application of TA-APTES coating.

Because of stress shielding effects, traditional titanium (Ti) alloy scaffolds have a high elastic modulus, which might promote looseness and bone disintegration surrounding the implant, increasing the likelihood of a second surgery. In contrast, 3D-printed porous Ti alloy scaffolds can reduce the scaffold weight while enhancing biocompatibility. Further, these scaffolds’ porous nature allows bone tissue ingrowth as well as strong pore connectivity, which can improve nutrient absorption. Nevertheless, bare Ti alloy implants may fail because of inadequate bone integration; hence, adding a coating on the implant surface is an effective technique for improving implant stability. In this study, a composite coating comprising hydroxyapatite (HAP), chitosan (CS), tannic acid (TA) and copper ions (Cu 2+ ) (Cu 2+ /TA/HAP composite coating) was prepared on the surface of 3D printed porous Ti alloy scaffolds using electrophoretic deposition. Using the standard plate count method, Live/Dead bacteria staining assay, FITC Phalloidin and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining assay, and live/dead staining of cells we determined that the composite coating has better antibacterial properties and cytocompatibility as well as lower cytotoxicity. The Alkaline Phosphatase assay revealed that the coating results showed good osteogenesis potential. Overall, the composite coatings produced in this investigation give new potential for the application of Ti alloys in clinics.

The global water pollution problem is increasingly severe, and the wastewater separation technology has received high attention. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fiber membranes have a great potential in wastewater treatment. However, its large pore size and high porosity lead to low retention rate and high contamination, which make it impossible to reuse. In this study, it was assumed that the modified nanoparticles CNTs-COOH@TA were prepared by modifying CNTs with tannic acid (TA) through π-π conjugation, and were used as the support layer of the PVDF matrix by electrostatic spinning. The chitosan hydrogel was tightly bound to the PVDF-CNTs-COOH@TA nanofiber support through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction to confer the strong hydrophilicity on the surface of the composite fiber membranes, and the composite PVDF-CNTs-COOH@TA-CS membranes should have excellent performance in PVDF water treatment. The PVDF-CNTs-COOH@TA-CS composite fiber membrane should have high hydrophilicity, high retention rate and reusability. Compared to other separation membranes, the composite membranes achieved effective separation of the oil-in-water emulsion and the dye wastewater while maintaining the rapid permeation of the aqueous phase. The pure water flux of the optimum CS3 composite membrane was 1907.8 Lm -2 h -1 bar -1 , which could completely separate oil-in-water emulsion and retain more than 90% of dyes. In addition, the flux recovery rate (FRR) of the CS3 composite membrane was still more than 86.8% after five cycles, and which had a good antifouling ability. The maximum tensile strength of CS3 increased by 279.7% over PVDF fiber membrane. This innovative approach based on synergistic modification of natural materials provides new ideas for the development of efficient and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment technologies.

Hydrogels are ideal for flexible sensors due to their outstanding advantages such as softness, biocompatibility, and unique flexibility. However, the radical polymerization process of hydrogels is usually associated with intensive input of energy. In this study, tannic acid and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were integrated on conductive MXene nanosheets as catalysts to rapidly polymerize to prepare super-stretchable and highly-sensitive Silk Fibroin/Poly-acrylic acid hydrogel sensors. The synergistic effect of TA and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles can maintain the dynamic redox cycling between Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ , to enhance the ability of ammonium persulfate to generate free radicals and rapidly forming hydrogel within 5 min. Inspired by the surface morphology of lotus leaves, a biomimetic strategy was employed to construct micro-protrusion structures on the hydrogel surface in order to enhance its sensitivity. The developed sensor showed excellent tensile strain (946 %) and high tensile strength (195 kPa), high sensitivity (GF = 4.05) and stable cycling ability (>100 cycles). The hydrogel sensor demonstrated high linearity (0.99 within the strain range of 150 %–600 %), low detection limit (1 % for strain and 150 Pa for pressure). Moreover, the hydrogel sensor can accurately detect various physiological signals emitted by the human body, making it highly promising for applications as wearable sensors in personalized healthcare.

Waterborne epoxy coatings are favored for their environmental friendliness and low volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions. However, traditional waterborne epoxy coatings have limitations in terms of barrier properties and self-healing ability, resulting in poor long-term corrosion protection. To overcome this shortcoming, a novel green composite based on PDA@Ce-MOF@TA-Fe (PCTF) was developed in this study, aiming to construct a high-performance coating system with enhanced corrosion protection, pH responsiveness, and self-healing properties. The EIS measurements demonstrated a significant enhancement in the barrier property and self-healing capability of the waterborne epoxy coating incorporated with the PCTF composite (PCTF/WEC). After 40 days of immersion in corrosive conditions, the impedance of the PCTF/WEC coating remains at 9.82 × 10 8 Ω·cm 2 , which is much higher than that of the WEC coating alone (1.47 × 10 6 Ω·cm 2 ). PCTF/WEC coating also shows excellent pH response in acidic environments (pH = 3). Salt spray tests and UV irradiation tests confirm the coating's good weathering resistance. This study provides a promising strategy for the development of long-lasting and environmentally friendly anti-corrosion coatings.

The rs72613567:TA polymorphism in 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 13 (HSD17B13) has been found to reduce the progression from steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. In this study, we sought to define the pathogenic role of HSD17B13 in triggering liver inflammation. Here we find that HSD17B13 forms liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) around lipid droplets in the livers of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis patients. The dimerization of HSD17B13 supports the LLPS formation and promotes its enzymatic function. HSD17B13 LLPS increases the biosynthesis of platelet activating factor (PAF), which in turn promotes fibrinogen synthesis and leukocyte adhesion. Blockade of PAFR or STAT3 pathway inhibited the fibrinogen synthesis and leukocyte adhesion. Importantly, adeno-associated viral-mediated xeno-expression of human HSD17B13 exacerbated western diet/carbon tetrachloride-induced liver inflammation in Hsd17b13−/− mice. In conclusion, our results suggest that HSD17B13 LLPS triggers liver inflammation by promoting PAF-mediated leukocyte adhesion, and targeting HSD17B13 phase transition could be a promising therapeutic approach for treating hepatic inflammation in chronic liver disease.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) restricts chemotherapy efficacy due to P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated drug efflux, whereas current approaches to suppressing P-gp expression suffer from intrinsic challenges, such as low transfection, high toxicity and poor specificity. Here, hollow ferric-tannic acid complex nanocapsules (HFe-TA), which can be effectively degraded by the reaction with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), are synthesized for the delivery of glucose oxidase (GOx) and doxorubicin (DOX) for tumor treatment. The findings indicate that the intracellular ATP is significantly decreased due to the combined effect of HFe-TA degradation and GOx-mediated glucose consumption. Along with this ATP down-regulation, P-gp expression of tumor cells is suppressed remarkably, which in turn promotes the intracellular accumulation and anticancer efficacy of DOX. In addition, the production of OH by Fe ions released from HFe-TA is promoted by the by-products of the oxidation of glucose process by GOx. In consequence, HFe-TA nanocapsules loaded with DOX and GOx enable significant inhibition effect to tumors both in vitro and in vivo due to the synergistic effect of cascade reactions. This study has therefore provided an alternative therapeutic platform for effective tumor inhibition with the potential in overcoming intrinsic MDR.

Developing high-performance non-precious metal catalysts for liquid organic hydrogen storage is crucial for advancing hydrogen energy technologies. Herein, we proposed a strategy in which doped Ge promoters optimized electron environments of nGeNi active phase loaded on titanium-aluminum composite oxide support with highly ordered 2D hexagonal mesopores (nGeNi/TA, n = 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt%), successfully establishing electron-rich active phase with high matching to HOMO orbital of N-Ethylcarbazole (NEC) molecule. Meanwhile, both d-band center of active phase and electron densities of its conduction band were effectively adjusted. These improvements not only retained ability of nGeNi active phase to activate NEC and its intermediates, but also suitably weakened strong π-d interaction with their aromatic rings. Consequently, adsorption energy of each intermediate species was almost close to average energy of hydrogenation conversion stages, thereby decreasing desorption energy of complete hydrogenation product (12H). Compared with 0GeNi/TA catalyst, NEC conversion rate on the best 1GeNi/TA catalyst at low temperature (220℃) greatly increased by approximately 118 %, and 12H selectivity and its yield sharply improved by approximately 112 % and 132 %, respectively. Moreover, excessive accumulations of intermediate species were also effectively mitigated.

High-entropy A 6 B 2 O 17 (A = Hf, Zr; B = Ta, Nb)/8YSZ double-layer ceramic coatings with three compositions are fabricated by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). Thermal cycling tests are performed at 1150 °C with a 5 min heating hold followed by 5 min air cooling, while isothermal oxidation tests are performed at 1150 °C. Among the three coatings, H 3 Z 1 T 2 N 1 coating exhibits the longest thermal cycling lifetime (1823 ± 153 cycles), followed by the H 1 Z 1 T 2 N 1 coating (1123 ± 136 cycles) and H 1 Z 3 T 2 N 1 coating (826 ± 114 cycles). After 180 h oxidation, the thermally grown oxide (TGO) thicknesses are 5 μm, 5.6 μm, and 6.6 μm, respectively. The H 3 Z 1 T 2 N 1 coating possesses the lowest oxidation rate constant ( k p = 0.1263 μm 2 ·h −1 ). This superior performance is attributed to dense vertical cracks induced by higher thermal expansion, which relieve thermal stress, suppress oxygen ingress, and delay interfacial failure.

Background The development of advanced wound dressings capable of dynamically adapting to the complex wound microenvironment represents a critical unmet need in the management of infected and chronic wounds. Methods A novel multifunctional hydrogel dressing was fabricated through a green, physical crosslinking strategy based on hydrogen bonding between tannic acid (TA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The network was co-loaded with cannabidiol (CBD) and mupirocin (MUP) to achieve synergistic therapeutic effects. The hydrogel was characterized for its microstructure, mechanical properties, swelling capacity, and pH-responsive behavior. In vitro evaluations included antibacterial activity, antioxidant capacity, biocompatibility, and fibroblast migration assays. In vivo efficacy was assessed using a murine full-thickness wound model. Results The optimized hydrogel exhibited a uniform porous structure, suitable mechanical properties, and excellent swelling capacity. It demonstrated intelligent pH-responsive degradation and drug release, with accelerated release under alkaline conditions and sustained release under acidic conditions. In vitro, the hydrogel showed potent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, pH-modulated antioxidant capacity, excellent biocompatibility, and promoted fibroblast migration. In vivo, it significantly accelerated wound closure (72.80% by day 7) and enhanced tissue regeneration through improved re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis, with histopathological analysis confirming excellent biosafety. Conclusions This study provides an innovative, responsive hydrogel platform that intelligently coordinates antibacterial, antioxidant, and pro-healing functions. The work offers a promising strategy for managing infected and chronic wounds through a dynamically adaptive and synergistic therapeutic approach.
