TL;DR: In this article, a review of methods of modifying polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymers to improve their properties for biomedical applications is presented under three different categories: bulk, surface and other modification techniques.

TL;DR: Assessment of the tensile properties of the scaffolds revealed that for a scaffold with 50% chitosan, glutaraldehyde, as a cross-linking agent, created much tighter polymeric network compared to N,N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethyl carbodiimide (EDC), in the case of gelatin scaffolds, EDC was identified as the stronger cross-linker.

TL;DR: Inspired by biomaterials, a novel strategy to design stiff, tough and self-healing DN gels by substitution of both covalently cross-linked networks with strong, dynamic hydrogen bond cross- linked networks is proposed.

TL;DR: Chitosan as a natural coagulant of choice, was modified by (3-chloro 2-hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium chloride and was used to remove the color and turbidity of industrial wastewater to demonstrate the high accuracy of the prediction model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of single crystal engineering and applications is presented, including magnetically recyclable catalyst supports, nano-hybrid shish-kebabs to mimic the natural bone nanostructures, and nano/micromotors.
