Figure 9. The application of ionogel in tumor treatment and bioadhesive agent. (A) a wearable MXene-enhanced ionogel patch (eT-patch) for skin tumor treatment. (i) Design and mechanism of eT-patch with PES effect to treat melanoma. (ii) In vivo therapeutic protocol and representative photographs of excised tumors from B16F10 tumor-bearing mice after 15 days with different treatments (Control, Laser, PTT, ES, and PES). (iii) Quantitative analysis of tumor weight and relative volume after 15-day therapy across different treatment groups[42]. Copyright 2025, Springer Nature Limited. (B) Supramolecular ionogels for soft tissue adhesion. (i) Design of tough ionogel bioadhesive. (ii) Ex vivo demonstration of strong, reversible, and biocompatible tissue adhesion on porcine organs (lung and heart), highlighting its potential for surgical applications[29].
