TL;DR: In this paper, a poly-dopamine sphere loaded with silver nanoparticles (Ag@PDS) was fabricated using a facile method, and the size of the uniform hybrid sphere is easily controlled by adjusting the ratio of ammonia to dopamine.
Abstract: Silver nanoparticles have been proven to exhibit excellent antimicrobial activity, but problems such as aggregation and toxicity limit their practical application. To solve these problems, a kind of sub-micrometer poly-dopamine spheres loaded with silver nanoparticles (Ag@PDS) were fabricated using a facile method. Silver nitrate was reduced by poly-dopamine spheres (PDS) without surface modification, and no other reducing agent added. This entire preparation process is very green, simple and efficient. As a result, Ag NPs have been fixed and uniformly dispersed onto the surface of the PDS, which can effectively prevent Ag NPs from aggregating or oxidizing during their application. Because the size of the uniform hybrid sphere is easily controlled by adjusting the ratio of ammonia to dopamine, it is convenient to fabricate hybrid spheres with desired sizes. These hybrids are capable of completely inhibiting bacterial growth because of their excellent antibacterial properties. Finally, the prospect of the organismal level impact of the Ag@PDS hybrid has also been proposed.

TL;DR: In this article, a Diels-Alder (DA) reaction between a polyurethane prepolymer end-capped with furan groups (MPF) and bismaleimide (BMI) was used to synthesize a new linear polyurethene with DA bonds.
Abstract: New linear polyurethane was synthesized via a Diels–Alder (DA) reaction between a polyurethane prepolymer end-capped with furan groups (MPF) and bismaleimide (BMI). The structure of the linear polyurethane with DA bonds was characterized by 1H NMR, ATI-FTIR, TGA and AFM. The introduction of DA bonds enables the polyurethane thermal reversibility, which was studied thoroughly by 1H NMR, DSC and GPC. Besides, the new linear polyurethane with DA bonds also exhibits self-healing properties under heat treatment, which was observed by polarized optical microscope. The self-healing efficiency determined by the recovery of breaking tensile strength after being damaged and healed can reach up to 80%.
