Journal of Materials Chemistry B features articles on the following:
Design strategies for fluorescent biodegradable polymeric biomaterials, Yi Zhang and Jian Yang: In this paper, we provide a critical review on the fluorescent biodegradable polymers with emphases on material fluorescence mechanism, design criteria for fluorescence, and their cutting-edge applications in biomedical engineering. We expect that this review will provide an insightful discussion on the fluorescent biomaterial design and lead to innovations for the next generation of fluorescent biomaterials and fluorescence-based biomedical technology.
Polyol induced interpenetrating networks: chitosan–methylmethacrylate based biocompatible and pH responsive hydrogels for drug delivery system, Sharif Ahmad et al.: The hydrophobically modified hydrogels of CH–MMA/Polyol were prepared by free radical polymerization reaction. This study has come up with novel characteristics associated with the formation of interpenetrating networks by the introduction of polyol in the CH–MMA matrix..

Journal of Materials Chemistry C features articles on the following:
Soft X-ray characterisation of organic semiconductor films, Christopher R. McNeill and Harald Ade: This feature article highlights the versatility of soft X-ray based techniques for characterising the structure of organic semiconductor devices.
The visible photoluminescence mechanism of oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes: an experimental and theoretical investigation, Hui Feng et al.: Dominant components of oxidized products of MWCNTs were separated by column chromatography, the origin of highly visible fluorescence from carbon nanotubes was revealed, and the nature of weak near UV-Vis fluorescence of oxidized carbon nanotubes from isolated sp2 clusters was supported.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A features articles on the following:
Engineering nanostructured anodes via electrostatic spray deposition for high performance lithium ion battery application, Xifei Li and Chunlei Wang: ESD-derived nanostructured anodes show significantly improved cycling performance and rate capability in high performance lithium ion battery application.
Controlled synthesis of concave Cu2O microcrystals enclosed by {hhl} high-index facets and enhanced catalytic activity, Zhaoxiong Xie, Lansun Zheng et al.: Truncated concave octahedral Cu2O mainly with {332} high-index facets exhibit enhanced catalytic activity.
Counter electrodes from double-layered polyaniline nanostructures for dye-sensitized solar cell applications, Qunwei Tang et al.: DSSCs from double-layered polyaniline counter electrodes were fabricated by an electrochemical method and can be potentially used as high photoelectric conversion devices.
