A method for prepring a porous aerogel scaffold includes: adding a photoinitiator and polyethylene glycol diacrylate in a buffer solution, dissolving by heating and evenly mixing, adding Pluronic F127 into the mixed solution, and standing at a low temperature to obtain an aerogel scaffold material; printing a hydrogel scaffold by using a 3D printing technology, and performing UV irradiation so that a cross-linking of the hydrogel scaffold is caused to form a three-dimensional scaffold with a stable structure, performing low-temperature soaking to remove Pluronic F127, and then freeze drying the three-dimensional scaffold to obtain the porous aerogel scaffold. Wherein, Pluronic F127 serves as a sacrificial material which is removed after the 3D printing of the hydrogel scaffold is completed, and then a porous structure can be formed in the scaffold in combination with a freeze drying technology, which facilitates the survival, growth and proliferation of cells during the three-dimensional culture.

Highly transparent (up to 92% light transmittance) wood composites have been developed. The process of fabricating the transparent wood composites includes lignin removal followed by index-matching polymer infiltration resulted in fabrication of the transparent wood composites with preserved naturally aligned nanoscale fibers. The thickness of the transparent wood composite can be tailored by controlling the thickness of the initial wood substrate. The optical transmittance can be tailored by selecting infiltrating polymers with different refractive indices. The transparent wood composites have a range of applications in biodegradable electronics, optoelectronics, as well as structural and energy efficient building materials. By coating the transparent wood composite layer on the surface of GaAs thin film solar cell, an 18% enhancement in the overall energy conversion efficiency has been attained.

A preparation method of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for separation and concentration of 4-methylsterane compounds is provided. A template molecule, a functional monomer, a porogen, an initiator and a cross-linking agent are mixed and subjected to polymerization to prepare a polymer with the template molecule, which is then treated to remove the template molecule, so as to give the desired MIP. The template molecule is -sitosterol or deoxycholic acid. The obtained molecularly imprinted polymer has multiple stable hole structures and binding sites inside, and has memory and recognition functions for the 4-methylsterane compounds, exhibiting excellent specific adsorption performance. The MIP can contribute to the accurate identification of correlation between depositional environment and maturity of crude oils or source rocks. A molecularly imprinted polymer prepared by such method, a chromatographic column and an application thereof are also provided.
