    This study presents the development of intelligent screen-printed labels for real-time food freshness monitoring. Using chitosan grafted with rosolic acid (RA) and immobilized on montmorillonite (MMT) through cationic exchange, a hybrid dye was synthesized and applied in screen-printing inks. The hybrid structure was characterized by XRD, TGA, and UV–vis, confirming improved thermal stability and maintained halochromic properties. SEM analysis showed consistent ink deposition on filter paper, while water contact angle (WCA) measurements demonstrated enhanced surface hydrophobicity due to the MMT. The labels exhibited clear pH-sensitive color transitions from yellow to purplish red (pH 2.0–12.0) and rapid ammonia sensitivity, with ΔE values exceeding 45.0 within 10 min. The labels also demonstrated excellent reversibility, storage stability, leaching resistance, and cytocompatibility. Practical tests on shrimp and milk confirmed the labels' ability to accurately monitor freshness through visible color changes. These findings highlight the potential of hybrid labels as effective, scalable freshness indicators for intelligent food packaging.

    Currently, self-healing hydrogels prepared from the green process have been studied for various applications, especially in the biomedical field. This work fabricated the self-healing hydrogel based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/poly(vinyl alcohol)/montmorillonite by acidifying the mixture with citric acid. SEM measurements showed well-dispersed montmorillonite in the hydrogels. Cytotoxicity values >100% were seen with montmorillonite added, which indicated cell growth and no cell toxicity. Montmorillonite addition not only reinforced the networks but also improved self-healing ability. The tensile strength of the original uncut hydrogel with montmorillonite (P1C8M1) was 61 kPa, whereas the healed hydrogel showed 57 kPa. The hydrogel healed completely within 10 days, without any cracks, i.e., a 93% healing efficiency, or higher than the ~60% of the non-reinforced hydrogel. This confirmed strong hydrogen bond formation between the polymer and montmorillonite. The self-healing ability of this non-toxic hydrogel, reinforced with montmorillonite, makes it valuable for use in biomedical fields.
