Although polylactide (PLA) aerogel has been developed as a highly promising biodegradable aerogel for realizing carbon neutrality and sustainable development, there remains significant room for research in precisely regulating its pore structure and expanding its application fields. In this study, PLA aerogels with oriented pore structures have been developed by directional freeze-drying technology, and the oriented pore structures of PLA aerogels have been precisely controlled by regulating the proportion of deionized water in the 1,4-dioxane/deionized water binary solvent system during the directional freezing process. The resultant PLA aerogels not only have regular vertically oriented pore structures and excellent three-dimensional connectivity but also have the advantages of high porosity (94.74–95.44%) and superior compressive strength (maximum of 340 kPa). PLA aerogels exhibit excellent hydrophobicity and oil adsorption performances, which can achieve efficient oil–water separation and emulsion separation. Moreover, PLA aerogels also exhibit outstanding anisotropic liquid and thermal transport properties. Specifically, the liquid transport rate parallel to the pore direction can reach 0.135 mm/s, which is 3.65 times that perpendicular to the pore direction. This work can broaden the applications of PLA aerogels in oil–water separation and the directional transport of liquids and heat fields.

Spectra in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) are always accompanied by a continuous emission known as “background”, which complicates the analysis with a poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), especially for qualitative and quantitative detection. Here, the SERS profile of the CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 substrate displays high similarity with the bulk Raman spectra, and its FWHM is exceeding narrow. The significantly increased SNR of the probe molecules indicates that the substrate helps to improve the quantitative analysis capability of the SERS technology and alleviate the background-related problems. For the CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 substrate, good linearity (R 2 = 0.9591) in the range of 1.0 × 10 -7 − 1.0 × 10 -3 mol/L was obtained and the limit of detection (LOD) is 7.88 × 10 -6 mol/L. The reason for this excellent performance is that the introduction of organic molecules splits the 3D CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 substrate to form a 2D perovskite that fixes the molecular orientation through chemical interactions. The CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 has the advantage of maintaining the conformation and orientation consistency of adsorbed molecules. Meanwhile, compared with the commonly used noble metal (Au, Ag) and semiconductor (ZnO, TiO 2 ) SERS substrates, the CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 substrate has obvious superiorities in both spectral peak intensity and peak shape. Furthermore, the CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 substrate possesses specific recognition ability that has the same enhancement effect for a series of pyridine-containing probe molecules. Finally, the enhancement mechanism is discussed according to the CT contribution. As a promising substrate for SERS technology, CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 will provide more possibilities for quantitative and multiplex detection in the future.

Two-photon photodynamic therapy (TP-PDT) is emerging as a powerful strategy for stereotactic targeting of diseased areas, but ideal photosensitizers (PSs) are currently lacking. This work reports a smart PS with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature, namely DPASP, for TP-PDT with excellent performances. DPASP exhibits high affinity to mitochondria, superior photostability, large two-photon absorption cross section as well as efficient reactive oxygen species generation, enabling it to achieve photosensitization both in vitro and in vivo under two-photon excitation. Moreover, its capability of stereotactic ablation of targeted cells with high-precision is also successfully demonstrated. All these merits make DPASP a promising TP-PDT candidate for accurate ablation of abnormal tissues with minimal damages to surrounding areas in the treatment of various diseases.

Bisphenol-A cyanate ester resin (BADCy)/Ni 0.5 Ti 0.5 NbO 4 composites with novel structure, within which Ni 0.5 Ti 0.5 NbO 4 and BADCy are continuous directional distribution and parallel to the electric field direction (marked as composite-directional), were designed and fabricated using freeze casting combined with vacuum assisted infiltration process. Dielectric properties as well as the moisture absorption of the composites were studied. Theoretical models used to predict the dielectric properties of the composites were established. Results show that the novel structure can significantly improve the dielectric constant while decrease dielectric loss compare with traditional structure in which Ni 0.5 Ti 0.5 NbO 4 filler is homogeneously distributed (the composite marked as composite-homogeneous). Dielectric constant of composite-directional is as high as 19.93 while dielectric loss is only 4.07 × 10 −3 (at 7319 MHz) when Ni 0.5 Ti 0.5 NbO 4 content is 43.79 vol%. Furthermore, the dielectric constant of both composite-directional and composite-homogeneous can be predicted using Rother-Lichtenecker model when the fitting parameters ( n ) are −0.5188 and −0.1499, respectively. Distribution state of Ni 0.5 Ti 0.5 NbO 4 is the main reason for the difference of fitting parameters. Due to the excellent properties of composite-directional, this kind of composites can be used as printed circuit board (PCB) materials.

Phase change materials (PCMs) as one of the most potential latent heat storage techniques have been widely used for thermal management and energy storage. However, simultaneously imparting flexibility, high thermal conductivity, and considerable energy storage density to organic PCMs remains challenging. In this work, a coupling strategy combining substance exchange and magnetic orientation has been proposed to fabricate phase change gels (PCGs) with thermally induced flexibility and high through-plane thermal conductivity. In the PCGs, synthesized boron nitride/ferroferric oxide (BN@Fe3O4) particles and polyacrylic acid (PAA) precursor liquid are introduced to polyethylene glycol (PEG) aqueous solution, and a magnetic field is applied in the process of PAA network construction to promote ordered arrangement of BN@Fe3O4 along the direction of the magnetic field. Consequently, PEG is wrapped by the cross-linked PAA supporting network, forming PCGs with excellent shape stability and thermally induced flexibility. The vertical orientation structure of BN@Fe3O4 endows the PCGs with an enhanced through-plane thermal conductivity of up to 1.07 W m–1 K–1 at a BN@Fe3O4 loading of 25.6 wt % with an additional enhancement of 215% compared to the composite without BN. The thermally conductive leakage-proof PCGs present great application potential in heat storage and management.

The effectiveness of cell culture and tissue regeneration largely depends on the structural and physiochemical characteristics of tissue-engineering scaffolds. Hydrogels are frequently employed in tissue engineering because of their high-water content and strong biocompatibility, making them the ideal scaffold materials for simulating tissue structures and properties. However, hydrogels created using traditional methods have low mechanical strength and a non-porous structure, which severely restrict their application. Herein, we successfully developed silk fibroin glycidyl methacrylate (SF-GMA) hydrogels with oriented porous structures and substantial toughness through directional freezing (DF) and in situ photo-crosslinking (DF-SF-GMA). The oriented porous structures in the DF-SF-GMA hydrogels were induced by directional ice templates and maintained after photo-crosslinking. The mechanical properties, particularly the toughness, of these scaffolds were enhanced compared to the traditional bulk hydrogels. Interestingly, the DF-SF-GMA hydrogels exhibit fast stress relaxation and variable viscoelasticity. The remarkable biocompatibility of the DF-SF-GMA hydrogels was further demonstrated in cell culture. Accordingly, this work reports a method to prepare tough SF hydrogels with aligned porous structures, which can be extensively applied to cell culture and tissue engineering.Keywords:silk hydrogel scaffold;mechanical property;aligned porous structure;freeze-casting;photo-crosslinking;tissue engineering

Orientation immobilization of enzymes has attracted intensive interest owing to the retainable specific activity and stability. Specially, glycoprotein immobilized onto Concanavalin A (Con A) modified carriers induces the orientation of the enzyme. However, the effects of the interface properties of carriers and enzymes are still not well understood yet. In this study, we synthesized the activated porous poly (styrene- divinylbenzene) resin carriers with 30 nm pore sizes and 72 m 2 g −1 specific surface areas and decorated with Con A. The resultant loading capacity of NP 1 on Con A modified carriers was as high as 4.02 mg g −1 wet support as a result of strong affinity between the enzyme and Con A decorated on carriers. It was found that the acid resistance, thermal stability, reusability and degradation efficiency of the immobilized enzyme on Con A modified porous carriers were significantly improved. The reduction of K m from 18.40 ± 0.55 mg mL −1 to 17.19 ± 0.51 mg mL −1 illustrated the improved substrate affinity of HA-GA-ConA-NP 1 . Moreover, Con A-affinity NP 1 exhibited the best operational stability that only 7% of its initial activity was lost even after 9 batches repeated reaction. This work demonstrates that surface property manipulation of porous carriers and its derivatives has great potential in efficient biocatalytic systems.

As an excellent two-dimensional insulating material with high thermal conductivity , high temperature stability and high hardness, hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) is widely applied in semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, metallurgical manufacturing and other cutting-edge fields. However, the unique surface structure of h-BN leads to poor lubricity and easy agglomeration, which limits the application of h-BN especially in the field of electronic packaging. To address key issues boosted above, this study designed and prepared the BN@Fe 3 O 4 magnetic insulating particles and doped it into the reduced viscosity epoxy resin to prepare the composites. By selecting appropriate external magnetic field strength and BN@Fe 3 O 4 particles’ content, a novel 3D structure of fillers like dominoes in epoxy resin composite was successfully constructed. The microstructure of the BN@Fe 3 O 4 particles and composites were analyzed, the thermal conductivity, the mechanical and the electrical properties of composites were simultaneously tested. Results manifested that the core-shell structures with BN as core and Fe 3 O 4 as shell was successfully prepared, linking through the PDA middle layer between the BN core and Fe 3 O 4 shell. Under the influence of magnetic orientation, the BN@Fe 3 O 4 magnetic particles were preferred an out-of-plane oriented in the epoxy resin composites, resulted an enormously enhanced on thermal conductivity of composites. At a magnetic field strength of 60 mT and 25 vol% BN@Fe 3 O 4 content, the thermal conductivity of BN@Fe 3 O 4 /EP composites is as lofty as 1.832 W/(m K), which is 1023.46% higher than that of pure epoxy resin. Meanwhile, the thermal stability has also been slightly improved, the elastic modulus and insulation performances remain at the same level.

A colorimetric assay based on the oriented TA-AuNPs-PEG-FITC for rapid and sensitive PABA detection was proposed. Initially, the negatively charged TA modified on the surface of AuNPs enabled rapid binding to PABA due to the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond, resulting in a visible color change. However, particles were aggregated in a non-oriented way, leading to an unstable testing system which failed to realize the accurate quantification. Thus, the asymmetrically functionalized TA-AuNPs-PEG-FITC were prepared, in which the stabilizer agent of HS-PEG-FITC was attached to the specific sites on the surface of TA-AuNPs. Such a way of modification resulted in an oriented aggregation manner, the addition of PABA induced the formation of oligomers. Moreover, the introduction of FITC group acted as fluorescent marker, providing a simple, fast and quantitative method for characterization of PEG chain. The molar ratio between TA-AuNPs and modified PEG-FITC was further determined. A linear regression was established in a wide range from 10 μM to 1 mM with the LOD of 6.9 μM. Finally, the sensor was successfully applied in the health food. This was the first example in which TA-AuNPs-PEG-FITC were fabricated for colorimetric detection of PABA, and an indirect method based on fluorescence marker was well used to quantify the content of PEG chain.

As an emerging field of current technological development, the heat dissipation performance of electronic packaging materials has become the key to determining product reliability. Therefore, the applied thermal interface materials (TIMs) need to simultaneously meet the performance indicators of thermal conductivity, mechanics, and insulation. Although BN had excellent in-plane thermal conductivity and insulation performance, it is currently difficult to achieve vertical orientation of powder which leads the layered powder cannot complete a continuous and effective heat transfer path along the Z -axis direction inside the composite material. In order to solve the above two problems, out-of-plane thermal conductive composite was prepared by introducing magnetic oriented method. In order to comprehensively evaluate the thermal conductivity, mechanical and electrical properties, BN@Fe 3 O 4 /EP magnetic oriented composites were compared with BN@PDA-Al 2 O 3 /EP composite prepared by mechanical blending method. The vertical thermal conductivity of the magnetic oriented composite material was 2.24 W/(m·K) at 30 vol%, which was 3.39 times that of the blended composite material and 12.4 times that of pure EP. This proves that the magnetic oriented composite materials prepared by the research institute can meet the vertical heat transfer needs in the field of electronic packaging and have high research value in this area. Highlights BN@Fe 3 O 4 core–shell particles were prepared with both thermal conductivity and magnetic controllability. The thermosetting composites were prepared by heated through preliminary gel point and then cured at high temperature. The orientation of powder inside the matrix was constructed, resulted in excellent out-of-plane heat transfer performance. Comparisons were made between various properties of magnetic oriented materials and conventional blend materials. The magnetic orientation method is feasible in the field of electronic packaging.

Driving a liquid droplet with control of directional motion on a solid surface, by introducing a surface wettability gradient or external stimuli, has attracted considerable research attention. There still remain challenges, however, due to the slow response rate and slow speed of continuous liquid droplet motion on the structured surface. Here, an approach to continuously drive the underwater oil droplet with control of directional motion by the cooperative effects of an electric field and the gradient of a porous polystyrene microstructure is demonstrated. The gradient microstructure induces the liquid droplet to take on an asymmetrical shape, causing unbalanced pressure on both ends to orient the droplet for motion in a particular direction. Meanwhile, the electric field decreases the contact area and the corresponding viscous drag between the droplet and the gradient-structured surface. Then, the unbalanced pressure pushes the underwater oil droplet to move directionally and continuously at a certain voltage. This work provides a new strategy to control underwater oil droplets and realize unidirectional motion. It is also promising for the design of new smart interface materials for applications such as electrofluidic displays, biological cell and particle manipulation, and other types of microfluidic devices.

Directed transport of a small amount of water is a basic issue and has attracted extensive attention due to its importance in a wide range of applications, such as water collection, microfluidics, printing, bioanalysis, and microchemical reactions. Various strategies based on constructing a surface tension gradient or Laplace pressure gradient have been developed to realize directional water transport. Typically, electrostatic forces and magnetic fields are utilized to achieve high-speed water transport on open superhydrophobic surfaces. However, these methods suffer from water evaporation or contamination. Here, we report a magnetic superhydrophobic tubular PDMS actuator for directional water transport. The actuator deformed under an applied external magnetic field and actuated the water droplet to transport along the moving direction of the magnet. The water transport velocity reached 16.1 cm/s. In addition, as the inner surface of the actuator is superhydrophobic, the water droplet showed weak interactions with the surface and presented negligible mass loss during the transport process. The results of this work may inspire new design of actuators for directional water transport with high speeds.
