Abstract
In article number 2001820, Feng Xu and co-workers report a multifunctional hydrogel-based liquid bandage (LBA) for trauma emergency; the resulting photo-responsive chitosan-based hydrogel harvests robust adhesive, hemostatic, and antibacterial performances as a first-aid tissue adhesive. LBA is simply prepared without any extraneous photo-initiator and toxic crosslinking agent for its safe use. Moreover, the utilization of this LBA can boost wound healing.
