Two Piles of Waste, many Solutions: From Landfill to value-added Materials

Large quantities of household and industrial waste continue to be landfilled or incinerated despite containing recoverable, high value materials, since conventional recycling processes remain too labour or cost intensive to be broadly implemented. Textile waste is a prominent exa...

Mechanical Programming of PEGDA‐ β ‐CD Polyrotaxane‐Based Hydrogels via Host–Guest Molecular Recognition

ABSTRACT Polyrotaxane‐based hydrogels with mechanically interlocked structures offer unique opportunities for designing biomaterials with tunable mechanical properties in tissue engineering. However, the polyrotaxane structure based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and β ‐cyclodext...
