A new deep-ultraviolet (DUV) birefringent crystal, LiB 5 O 5 F 2 (OH) 4 (LBOFH), was designed and synthesized by a high-temperature solution method. Its structure features a [B 5 O 5 F 2 (OH) 4 ] anionic group that is constructed by four π-conjugated units, i.e., two [BO 3 ] units and two [BO(OH) 2 ] units connected by the [BO 2 F 2 ] unit, which forms a near-coplanar configuration. The group exhibits large anisotropic polarizability and highest unoccupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HUMO-LUMO) gap, thus providing a good balance between the large birefringence (0.124 at 546 nm) and band gap (7.99 eV) in LBOFH. This work suggests new possibilities for the design and fabrication of advanced DUV birefringent crystals using the novel anionic group and the expansion of their alternative system with new hydroxyfluorooxoborates.

The structure of zwitterion has great impact on the separation properties of zwitterionic hydrophilic stationary phases. To better understand the role of anionic groups of zwitterions, a novel carboxybetaine-based zwitterionic monolithic column was first prepared through thermo-initiated copolymerization of functional monomer (3-acrylamidopropyl)-dimethyl-(2-carboxymethyl) ammonium (CBAA) and crosslinker ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) within 100 μm ID capillary. The optimal poly(CBAA- co -EDMA) monolithic column exhibited satisfactory mechanical and chemical stability, good repeatability, high column efficiency (96,000 plates / m), and excellent separation performance for different classes of polar compounds (i.e., phenols, monophosphate nucleotides, urea and allantoin). A comparative study was then performed among three zwitterionic hydrophilic stationary phases containing different anionic groups, i.e. poly(CBAA- co -EDMA) (carboxybetaine), poly(2-{2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyldimethylammonium}ethyl n-butyl phosphate- co -EDMA) (phosphocholine), and poly(N,N-dimethyl-N-(3-methacrylamidopropyl)-N-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium betaine- co -EDMA) (sulfobetaine) using benzoic acid derivatives, amine compounds, nucleobases and nucleosides as model analytes. The carboxybetaine-based monolithic column exhibited much higher positive zeta-potential and hydrophilicity, which endows it with a stronger retention capacity for acidic and neutral compounds, but sulfobetaine-based monolithic column exhibited much higher selectivity and retention capacity for the amines. Moreover, their enrichment efficiencies for N- glycopeptides were also evaluated based on their different hydrophilicity, and it was observed that the poly(CBAA- co -EDMA) monolithic material captured 4-8 times more N- glycopeptides compared to the other two materials.

Developing superstrong adhesives that can be detached via an environmental friendly trigger under mild operation conditions is highly desirable in industry and it can significantly contribute to sustainability. This work provides a novel design of particular eutectogel adhesives based on poly(acrylic acid)-deep eutectic solvent (PAA-DES). The synthesized adhesives can bond strongly with versatile substrates and be readily detached via simple water soaking. The eutectogel adhesive establishes strong adhesion interactions with the surface of adherends through abundant hydrogen bonds and ion-substrate interactions, with an ultrastrong adhesion strength reaching as high as 12.50 MPa on the glass substrate. The adherends could be easily released by water soaking for several minutes with no damage to the system. Such a novel approach for developing detachable adhesives is believed to have high potential in commercialization that requires temporal joining and assembly processes, including optical lens drilling and wafer dicing.

Ionic polyurethane (IPU) was synthesized as shape memory materials. Poly (tetramethylene ether) glycol with 2000g/mol number average molecular weight were used as soft segment, 4,4-methylenebis (phenyl isocyanate), and 1,2-dihydroxy-3-propanesulfonic acid salt were used to compose the segment of SMP materials. The structure and properties of these IPU films were characterized by Fourier Transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, Thermal gravimetric analysis and Differential scanning calorimeter. The results showed that the glass transition temperature of the IPU increased with the increase of hard segment content. The physical properties in terms of swelling property, water absorption and ion-exchange capacity increased with the improving of sulfonic group content in IPU. The shape memory property of IPU exhibited that the shape fixity ratio and recovery rate improved remarkably with the increase of hard segment content.

The properties of the chemo-mechanical pulp were determined by the position and quantity of anionic groups in the pulp fibers. In this study, the effects of anion group content and structure in sulfonated mulberry stem chemo-mechanical pulp (SCMP) were investigated during the hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) bleaching process. Surface morphology and anion group structure of the pulp fibers were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC MS). The results indicate that the sulfonic group content in bleached pulp decreases with the concentration of H 2 O 2 to a minimum content of 71.53 μmol g −1 , which is reduced by 22.68% in comparison to the unbleached pulp content of 92.51 μmol g −1 . The content of carboxyl groups in pulp first increases and then decreases with the concentration of H 2 O 2 . The maximum carboxyl group content is 164.79 μmol g −1 , which is increased by 53.97% compared with unbleached pulp at 107.03 μmol g −1 . The total anion groups content of SCMP first increases and then decreases with the concentration of H 2 O 2 . FTIR and XPS analysis show that the content of anion groups on the surface of the pulp fibers increases slightly after H 2 O 2 bleaching. GC MS analysis demonstrates that the content of uronic acid increases after H 2 O 2 bleaching and the order of increase is 4-O-MeGlcA > GlcA > GalA . The contents of sulfonic acid group, total anion groups (TAGs) and surface anion groups (SAGs) of bleached pulp increase because of the hydroxyl group oxidation , terminal group reduction, methyl esterification of pectin and decomposition of polyxylose, resulting in the formation of new carboxyl groups and more uronic acid. This study reveals the mechanism of the effect of hydrogen peroxide bleaching on the anionic groups in the SCMP pulp, which is conducive to the development of bleaching technology for high yields of mulberry stem pulp.

In this work, a dual-functional Cu 2+ -based ensemble (2 S ·Cu 2+ ) was well designed and characterized. Then, the successional and discriminating sensing for CN − over other competitive species (H 2 PO 4 − and biothiols) was achieved based on the disaggregation of 2 S ·Cu 2+ ensemble and the deprotonation of imidazole NH of regenerated sensor S in aqueous solution, respectively. The visual sensing mechanism could be clearly demonstrated by 1 H NMR, HRMS and energy changes between the HOMO−LUMO band gaps. Furthermore, the reversibility and reusability of S and 2 S ·Cu 2+ upon alternating addition of CN − /H + and CN − /Cu 2+ were studied. Interestingly, the sequential sensing for biothiols (cysteine, glutathione and homocysteine) and CN − was also realized through spectroscopic methodology and test paper strips. This work may provide a feasible strategy to discriminate CN − over H 2 PO 4 − and biothiols with high selectivity and sensitivity through Cu 2+ -based ensembles.

Herein, a hydrophobized zwitterionic-based copolymer poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate-co-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-co-isobornyl acrylate) (P(SBMA-co-DMA-co-ISA), PSDI) containing a chiral structure has been successfully synthesized by free radical polymerization and subsequent sulfonation reactions. Together with tannic acid (TA), PSDI colloidal particles (CPs) were anchored onto the Ti alloy surface by the electrophoretic deposition method. The composition, morphology, and surface properties of the CP-TA composite coatings were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), optical contact angle (OCA), and other methods. The results show that the introduction of TA improves the stability of coatings by participating in the noncovalent interactions including ionic pairing and hydrogen bonding. According to the in vitro bacterial adhesion test, the modified titanium surface containing SBMA and chiral ISA functional units can effectively inhibit Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) and Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus) adhesion. Furthermore, the excellent cytocompatibility and favorable cell adhesion and growth behavior of zwitterionic-based coatings were realized as a result of the appropriate hydrophobicity provided by the ISA moiety. This work provides a new strategy for preparing zwitterionic-based multifunctional coating. The coating with excellent bacterial and cell selective adhesion properties has great potential in the applications of metal implant materials, such as cardiovascular stents and human hard tissue repair and replacement materials.

Abstract Adsorption is a promising technique for water treatment. Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) have been witnessed as advanced adsorbents for various applications and PAFs with task-specific functionality and porosity are desirable adsorbents. Herein, a charged PAF, PAF-CH 2 N(CH 3 ) 3 I, was prepared through precursor-designed method. The charged PAF is densely and homogeneously functionalized with cationic groups and featured with hierarchical pore structure. The content of the charged groups in the framework reaches up to 52.27 wt% and the hierarchical structure facilitates fast adsorption/desorption of dye molecular. It demonstrates strong affinity, fast adsorption rate, high adsorption efficiency and high adsorption capacity towards not only small model anionic dye but also large-sized one, which can not be adsorbed efficiently by other microporous adsorbents. In addition, benefiting from the hierarchical structure, the charged PAF can be easily regenerated and reused with almost no loss of its efficiency even after 10 adsorption–desorption cycles. These excellent features demonstrate that the charged PAF is a promising adsorbent for wastewater treatment and this study provides a new perspective to explore functionalized PAFs as a versatile type of advanced adsorbents.

A spatial effect of targeted signal distribution is found in catiomer–gene polyplexes which strongly influences the gene transfection profiles. The nuclear localization sequence PKKKRKV (NLS) is chosen as the target ligand. For a given gene delivery system of constant composition, size, and charge, it is engineered such that the NLS is the only structural variable in polyplexes. This unique architecture of polyplexes relies on successive electrostatic interaction. The structural features of the PKKKRKV sequence in polyplexes are investigated by NMR. The gene transfection profiles of the polyplexes are found to be well correlated with the spatial distribution of the nuclear localization sequence. Upon modification of nuclear localization, the gene transfection efficiency is found to increase remarkably from 40% to 60%. The drastic improvement of gene transfection is explained by a NLS spatial distribution mechanism. High gene transfection based on spatial NLS distribution provides a new base for the design and development of non-viral gene delivery vectors.

The degradation of fixed cationic groups in most anion exchange membranes (AEMs) under alkaline environments limits their durability for alkaline water electrolysis (AWE). Ion-solvating membranes (ISMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to address this issue. Herein, a cationic group-free ion solvating membrane in a free-standing gel form (ISM-PBI-FG) is presented, created through a sol-to-gel transformation process followed by KOH imbibing. This approach yields a 3D porous microstructure composed of entangled polybenzimidazole (PBI) nanofibrils, achieving 89% porosity, which enables ultrahigh alkali uptake (346% in 6 M KOH) and exceptional ionic conductivity (763 mS cm −1 at 80 °C). The absence of cationic groups avoids the attack by OH − , thus ensures good alkaline stability with a conductivity retention rate of 91.6% over a 3120 h ex situ test in 6 M KOH. The resulting membrane delivered outstanding AWE performance with current densities of 5.5 A cm −2 using platinum-group-metal (PGM) catalysts and 2.2 A cm −2 using PGM-free catalysts at 2.0 V. Notably, the in situ electrolyzer device based on ISM-PBI-FG offers extensive operational flexibility ranging from 40–100 °C and demonstrates record durability in concentrated alkaline conditions, with a voltage decay rate of only 23.5µV h −1 , outperforming most reported AEMs and ISMs.

The surface properties of implanted materials or devices play critical roles in modulating cell behavior. However, the surface properties usually affect cell behaviors synergetically so that it is still difficult to separately investigate the influence of a single property on cell behavior in practical applications. In this study, alginate–chitosan (AC) microcapsules with a dense or loose gel structure were fabricated to understand the effect of gel structure on cell behavior. Cells preferentially adhered and spread on the loose gel structure microcapsules rather than on the dense ones. The two types of microcapsules exhibited nearly identical surface positive charges, roughness, stiffness, and hydrophilicity; thus, the result suggested that the gel structure was the principal factor affecting cell behavior. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses demonstrated that the overall percentage of positively charged amino groups was similar on both microcapsules. The different gel structures led to different states and distributions of the positively charged amino groups of chitosan, so we conclude that the loose gel structure facilitated greater cell adhesion and spreading mainly because more protonated amino groups remained unbound and exposed on the surface of these microcapsules.

Cationic copolymers formulated with different weight percentages of random copolymerized amphiphilic poly(carboxybetaine methacrylate ester)-poly(methyl methacrylate)-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PCBMAE–PMMA-PVP) side chain and polycaprolactone (PCL)/siloxane main chain were developed via a one-pot continuous reaction for the preparation of marine antifouling coatings. By tuning the weight percentage of the side chain and main chain, a 30% quaternization degree can be achieved without obvious gelation of the cationic copolymer. The hydrolyzable PCBMAE in the side chain and degradable PCL in the main chain led to the self-replenishment of the coating. Moreover, the surface hydrophilicity of the developed coatings was greatly improved owing to the creation of a zwitterionic group during PCBMAE hydrolysis. Results on the weight loss rate of the coating revealed that the amphiphilic side chains, more specifically, the PCBMAE moiety rather than PCL moiety in the hydrophobic main chain, dominated the surface renewal speed. Therefore, the fouling-resistance and fouling-release abilities of the developed cationic copolymer-based coatings were largely promoted compared with the control samples, which only had a main chain. Additionally, experimental results demonstrated that a higher content of amphiphilic side chains correlated with less protein adsorption, but a higher content of siloxane showed more advantages in antibacterial ability. The antibacterial rate of the developed coatings against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus ranged from 83 to 95%. The marine field test manifested that the optimized coatings can stand the marine biofouling for four months in the thriving growth season of marine microorganisms.
