Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Natural polymer hydrogels, such as pullulan-based hydrogels, offer significant advantages over synthetic materials due to their thermal stability, film-forming capacity, solubility, adhesiveness, and antioxidant properties. In this study, the strain Aureobasidium melanogenum TZ-FC3, which produces a high level of pullulan, was successfully isolated from the mangrove ecosystems of Guangdong Province, China. 66.01 ± 1.10 g/L pullulan without melanin was produced by the TZ-FC3 strain within 120 h at flask level. Pullulan fermented by A. melanogenum TZ-FC3 was added to enhance the hydrogen bond network within the pullulan/PVA/borax hydrogels (P-2, P-3 and P-4 hydrogels) to improve mechanical strength and crosslinking density of PVA/borax hydrogel (P-1 hydrogel). Compared to the P-1 hydrogel, the P-2 hydrogel exhibited a 65.4 % increase in tensile strain, a remarkable 694.03 % increase in tensile strength and improved the degree of internal crosslinking. Additionally, the pullulan/PVA/borax hydrogels demonstrated excellent self-healing properties, adhesion, injectability, and antibacterial activity. The preparation process of pullulan/PVA/borax hydrogels is straightforward and effective, suggesting broad industrial applicability and underscoring their potential as next-generation materials for advanced healthcare solutions.
