The application of nanotechnology in the oil and gas industry has attracted widespread attention in recent years. This study aims to develop a nanoemulsion (NE) for use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The NE stabilized by anion amphiphilic copolymer, nonionic surfactant (Brij30) and modified LAPONITE® RD was prepared by the phase inversion composition (PIC) method. The appearance of the emulsion is translucent and the average particle size is less than 60 nm. The micromorphology and interfacial tension (IFT) are examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a spinning drop IFT meter, respectively. The NE possesses good stability evaluated by conductivity and particle size tests. The absolute value of the zeta potential of NE increases when modified LAPONITE® RD is added. In a core flooding experiment with an artificial sandstone core, the NE flooding increased oil recovery by 23.53% compared to water flooding.

As a synthetic clay material, laponite RDS (LR) was investigated as an effective drug carrier as a result of the special nanodisk structure together with the negative-charged surface to achieve enhanced cellular uptake and targeted delivery. In this research work, the synthesized oligomeric hyaluronic acid-aminophenylboronic acid (oHA-APBA) was entangled onto LR nanodisks to fabricate a valid targeted platform for breast cancer therapy. Briefly, through the formation of amide bonds, 3-APBA was connected to the chain of oHA with a substituted ratio of 4.0 ± 0.2% to synthesize oHA-APBA copolymer. Thereafter, doxorubicin (DOX) was inserted into the interlayer space of LR by the way of the ion exchange process, followed by an assembly with oHA-APBA as a targeted protection layer. The satisfactory drug encapsulation efficiency (> 80%) and narrow size distribution were achieved. The in vitro drug release study demonstrated the release of DOX from DOX@LR/oHA-APBA was sustained and acid dependent. In addition, after fitting the drug cumulative release of DOX@LR/oHA-APBA under different pH conditions with several kinetic models, it was identified that drug release from DOX@LR/oHA-APBA nanohybrids at pH 5.0 was mainly dependent on both diffusion and ion exchange effects. However, under the condition of pH 7.4, the drug was most efficiently released by diffusion effect. Importantly, DOX@LR/oHA-APBA showed remarkable cellular uptake and intracellular drug distribution in MCF-7 cells, which were consistent with inhibitory ability against MCF-7 cells. Hence, the high DOX loading capacity and enhanced cellular tracking can enlighten LR/oHA-APBA as an effective drug delivery carrier for breast cancer therapy.

Hydrogel electrolytes are ideal for flexible wearable electronic devices because of their high ionic conductivity, flexibility, and biocompatibility. However, some problems, such as poor mechanical properties, low conductivity, and lack of adhesivity, are encountered in the process of hydrogel preparation and application, which restrict the further development of hydrogel electrolytes. In this study, PVA was used as the first network, and P(AM-co-AMPS) as the second network to prepare a double-network hydrogel electrolyte. Laponite and Na2SO4 were introduced into the hydrogel during hydrogel formation as the nanofiller and salt with the salting-out effect to enhance its mechanical properties. The hydrogel electrolyte with high toughness (1663 kJ·m–3), adhesivity (77 kPa), and ionic conductivity (1.7 S·m–1) was obtained. In addition, the hydrogel electrolyte also has excellent antifatigue performance. In the 10 consecutive tensile cycles, the tensile strength does not decay. Due to the high adhesivity of the hydrogel electrolyte, a symmetrical all-solid-state supercapacitor was assembled with a tight interface between the hydrogel electrolyte and the AC/CNT composite electrode. The supercapacitor has a high specific capacitance of 186.1 mF·cm–2 at the current density of 1 mA·cm–2. In addition, the capacitor has good flexibility and can withstand bending at various angles. The hydrogel electrolyte also has excellent strain sensing performance, with an ultrafast tensile response time (0.17 s) and high sensitivity factor (GF = 10.01). Finally, the self-powered sensor system composed of a supercapacitor as the power supply device and hydrogel electrolyte as the sensing part was obtained and applied to human motion monitoring, which provides a potential application in the integrated flexible electronic system.

Bone tissue engineering based on stem cells, growth factors and bioactive scaffolds presents an appealing but challenging approach for rehabilitation of patients with bone defects. A versatile system with the capability for easy operation and precise protein delivery in specific locations is attractive for enhancing bone regeneration. Here, we develop a non-invasive delivery system based on injectable and self-healing nanocomposite hydrogels for sustained protein release, which has the potential to improve the current orthopedic strategy. Specifically, LAPONITE® (LAP) nanoplatelets are able to accelerate the gelation process through hydrogen bonds with polysaccharide matrices, endowing hydrogels with superior mechanical and rheological behaviors, along with better injectability and self-healing ability. Attractively, the strong static binding between LAP nanoplatelets and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) can form stable LAP@BMP-2 complexes. The results indicate that the complexes effectively preserve the intrinsic bioactivity of BMP-2 and prolong the release period for more than four weeks. Moreover, hydrogels incorporating with the LAP@BMP-2 complexes synergistically boost cell spreading, proliferation activity and osteogenesis, both in vitro and in vivo, compared with LAP or BMP-2 alone. Overall, this study proposes a valid platform for protein therapeutics and non-invasive bone repair.

With the rapid development of industry, water pollution has become one of the important problems that harm the ecological environment and human health. The extensive use and random discharge of dyes have caused serious damage to water resources. Hydrogel bead is a promising material for dye adsorption due to its advantages of rich functional groups and high specific surface area. Here, acrylic acid sodium salt (AAS) and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) as monomers, N,N’-Methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) as crosslinking agent, sodium alginate (SA) as semi-interpenetrating network component, laponite as nano-clay additive, and single 2′,4′,5′,7′ −tetrabromofluorescein disodium salt (EY)/ Triethanolamine (TEOA)/ diphenyl iodonium hexafluorophosphate (DPI) as green light polymerization initiating system were combined to prepare composite hydrogel beads within 10 s under green LED irradiation. The composite hydrogels were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The addition of sodium alginate and laponite can improve the mechanical properties of hydrogel beads. In the adsorption study of malachite green, the influence of time, temperature, dye concentration, pH, ionic strength, and other factors on the adsorption effect were investigated. The adsorption process was consistent with the second-order kinetic process and Langmuir adsorption. At room temperature, the highest adsorption capacity of the hydrogel beads for malachite green reached 829.63 mg/g. The PAAS-SL hydrogel beads maintained a high adsorption effect in the pH range (3–10), and the capacity reached 575.0 mg /g at pH 3, which had a good ability to resist low pH. In the adsorption–desorption experiments, the removal rate of PAAS-SL hydrogel beads for MG is still more than 80 % after 5 cycles. Our research provides a promising strategy for the efficient and rapid preparation of hydrogel beads with excellent properties.

In this work, Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were embedded into a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-laponite (Ag/PNIP-LAP) hydrogel membrane for highly sensitive surface-enhancement Raman scattering (SERS) detection. In situ polymerization was initiated by UV light to encapsulate AgNPs in a PNIP-LAP hydrogel to prepare a highly active SERS membrane with a three-dimensional structure. Due to the surface plasmon resonance and high swelling/shrinkage ratio of the Ag/PNIP-LAP hydrogel SERS membrane, its network structure has a “sieving” effect, which makes it easier for hydrophilic small-molecule targets to enter the sterically confined hydrogel, and the AgNPs are close to each other to form a Raman “hot spot” through the shrinkage of the hydrogel, at the same time, the analyte is enriched in the confined space and close to the AgNPs to form a stronger SERS signal. The characterization of the SERS activity of the Ag/PNIP-LAP hydrogel showed that the prepared three-dimensional membrane had high detection sensitivity for urotropine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, pyrazinamide, and pyrazine; the detection limits (S/N = 3) were 17.4, 31.0, 53.1, and 1.11 μg/L, and the analytical time was 35 min. Due to the hydrophilicity of the Ag/PNIP-LAP hydrogel membrane, the small molecules can easily enter the SERS membrane, and the hydrophobic macromolecules are blocked outside the SERS membrane. The SERS method has good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. The SERS method was applied to the detection of urotropine in dried bean curd sticks, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine in nuts and potato chips, and pyrazinamide in human plasma with recoveries of 81.8–116.8% and the relative standard deviation within 4.9–9.9%. The results matched well with that found by the corresponding chromatographic methods. The proposed method has the advantages of simple sample pretreatment, speediness, high sensitivity, and good selectivity to hydrophilic compounds and has potential application in the rapid on-site detection.

Double-physically crosslinked hydrogels are well-known for their exceptional self-healing and mechanical properties but often fall short in terms of biological functionality. Here, we introduce a novel betaine-based zwitterionic hydrogel designed to simultaneously enhance self-healing, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. The hydrogel is synthesized via thermally initiated free-radical polymerization and utilizes dual physical crosslinking through hydrophobic monomer-based micelles and nanoscale Laponite XLG. The incorporation of betaine monomers further boosts the biological performance of the material. The resulting hydrogel exhibits excellent swelling behavior, achieving equilibrium within 48 h, with a water absorption capacity up to 5000 % and an equilibrium water content exceeding 98 %. Mechanically, the hydrogel exhibits a remarkable elongation at break of 1228 % under tensile testing. Furthermore, it shows exceptional self-healing properties, with fracture elongation recovery of 542.72 % after 2 h and 746.88 % after 24 h. Microscopic observations confirm near-complete healing within just 3 min. Cell viability assays reveal over 95 % cell survival in the presence of hydrogel extracts, confirming its excellent biocompatibility, high water retention, and mechanical resilience.
