The dramatic changes the world and the expectations of potential users have pushed researchers working in flexible foam pressure sensor (FFPS) fabrication to develop more affordable and high-performance materials. Among various materials, polymer foamed-based nanocomposites are a preferred choice due to their excellent mechanical properties, good chemical properties, and easy control. Moreover, the use of nanofillers such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon black (CB), and graphene in the polymer matrix has greatly improved the properties of the sensors. Therefore, this review focuses on the recent advances in FFPS by using different types of nanofillers in shape and structure. Accordingly, developments in the fabrication of FFPS, including dip coating, spray coating, sputtering, and in situ polymerization are also discussed. Special attention has been paid to identifying the underlying mechanism to maximize pressure sensing and improve the performance of FFPS. Suggestions for future developments in the area of sensing devices applied in health monitoring are also presented.

AbstractBreast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignant cancers among women and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Conventional treatments for BC are effective; however, they have several drawbacks, such as poor bioavailability and substantial side effects. On the other hand, using drug delivery systems (DDSs) have numerous benefits, such as suitable cancer targeting, reduced side effects, and controlled drug release. In recent years, DDSs have become a hotspot for the delivery of anti-BC drugs. The purpose of this review is to explore the progress of recent research on anti-BC drugs and the applications of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) as DDSs for the treatment of BC. Moreover, this review summarizes important advances in the synthesis, preparation, and application of PNCs, using various nanomaterials and polymers, as nanocarriers for the treatment of BC. The challenges and opportunities associated with future clinical applications of PNCs in the treatment of BC are discussed.Keywords: Polymer nanocompositedrug carriersbreast cancerdrug delivery systemscontrolled release Disclosure statementThe authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (2022R1 A2C1 004437).

Abstract Silk Fibroin (SF), a protein typically extracted from Bombyx mori cocoons, is considered to play an essential role in advancing the development of a more sustainable generation of multifunctional materials. The unique properties of SF have led to its widespread application in various fields, including energy harvesting, electronics, and biomedicine. However, to further expand SF's potential and tailor it for specific applications, modifying its main properties and adding novel functional characteristics becomes often necessary. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the most significant modifications of SF and their respective applications. We explore blends and mixtures of SF with emerging bio-based materials, which serve as an excellent platform to enhance SF's processability and functionality. Additionally, we analyze the most relevant fillers, which play a pivotal role in the development of SF composites, enabling the achievement of active and specific behaviors. By examining these aspects, we aim to shed light on the potential of SF as a versatile and customizable material, contributing to the implementation of sustainable and functional materials in various application domains.

Abstract Over the last decades, food packaging has advanced significantly, which is crucial in maintaining food safety and minimizing waste. However, most traditional food packaging materials in the market are typically made of inexpensive synthetic plastics with a limited scope of providing physical containment and an effective barrier against moisture and gases. In contrast, sustainable active packaging offers a promising solution to extend the shelf-life of food by effectively decreasing the rate of oxidative deterioration and microbial growth while reducing the environmental impact of petrochemical-derived plastics. As a result, there is a significant interest in developing sustainable and active food packaging materials with a low carbon footprint. Natural resource-derived antioxidant and antimicrobial agents are better alternatives to traditional synthetic agents when combined with any biodegradable polymer as it enhances the sustainability portfolio. This review critically evaluates recent trends in developing natural resource-derived antioxidant and antimicrobial agents for active food packaging applications. Various active biobased antioxidant and antimicrobial agents are critically reviewed and discussed, including their structure, physico-chemical properties, and various attributes in food packaging applications. Finally, this review presents an outlook on the future of sustainable and active food packaging materials and highlights the potential challenges in their development and implementation.

Abstract Polymeric foam applications have rapidly increased over the years and most of them are submitted to cyclic loading conditions. Therefore, their fatigue behavior is highly important to ensure safe operation for which limited information is available compared to compact materials like asphalt, concrete, and metals. Starting with an understanding of the main parameters controlling the mechanical properties of polymer foams, this literature review further presents a broad overview of the information available to understand the relations between loading conditions and fatigue lifetime, including damage level development. The review is composed into three main classes of polymers: thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers. The effect of loading conditions, including stress/strain amplitude, loading ratio (R, r), frequency (f), moisture content, type of deformation and temperature (T) is presented and discussed. Finally, the effect of foam morphology in terms of cell size (d) and density (ρ) on the fatigue performance is included to make a link between Paris’ law and crack propagation. A conclusion is also provided with openings for future development.
