Phase change materials (PCMs) offer significant advantages in energy conversion and storage by facilitating the storage and release of thermal energy during phase transition processes. However, challenges such as leakage during PCM phase transitions and poor light absorption properties have constrained their application in the field of photothermal energy storage. In this study, Montmorillonite (Mt) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) has been used to design and synthesize hybrid aerogels (MoS 2 /Mt) boasting high mechanical strength and excellent photothermal conversion performance. These aerogels are then used to encapsulate polyethylene glycol (PEG) to prepare composite PCMs with outstanding solar-thermal conversion and storage performances. The results show that the synthesized MoS 2 /Mt-PEG composite PCMs exhibit high enthalpies of melting and solidification of 169.16 J/g and 170.78 J/g, respectively, while the aerogel supporting material has a high compressive modulus of 1.96 MPa. Moreover, the composite material displayed excellent thermal stability and leakage resistance after undergoing 30 melting-cooling cycles. Furthermore, the incorporation of MoS 2 imparted outstanding light absorption properties to the MoS 2 /Mt-PEG composite, resulting in a high light absorption and photothermal conversion-storage efficiency of 93.4 % and 96.47 %, respectively. Synthesized composite PCMs also demonstrate outstanding performance in solar-thermal-electricity conversion, achieving a voltage output of 458 mV under illumination conditions and maintaining a sustainable voltage output even after removing the light source. Thus, the composite PCMs prepared in this work can meet the requirements of high enthalpy, effective leakage prevention, efficient solar-thermal conversion and solar-thermal-electricity conversion performance, thereby presenting potential applications in practical solar energy collection, conversion, and storage.

Benzophenone (BP) is a common initiator which is often used in the UV-curing production and related fields. However, the shortcomings such as toxicity, odor, and migration always limit the development of the traditional BP photoinitiator . Polymeric benzophenone photoinitiator (PEG-BP) was synthesized basing on polyethylene glycol (PEG), succinic anhydride , 4-hydroxybenzophenone and epichlorohydrin . The structure of PEG-BP was characterized by IR and 1 H NMR. The radiation absorption of PEG-BP was detected by UV spectrophotometer with the maximum absorption wavelength at 283 nm in acetonitrile solvent, undergone significant redshift corresponding to small molecule photoinitiator BP, thus enhanced the photosensitive efficiency of UV-curing system in the long wavelength region. Besides, PEG-BP has better water solubility than BP, thus could be used in both oil and aqueous solution. The obvious advantage of this initiator was the elimination of amine based hydrogen donors and to provide alternative hydrogen donors with easily availability and non-toxicity. The effects of molecular weights of PEG-BP, photoinitiator concentration, UV-radiation intensity and different monomers on photopolymerization kinetics were investigated in detail. The synthesized polymeric photoinitiators are attractive to be used as type II photoinitiators.

In this paper, a receptor-mediated liposomal drug delivery system (DDS) was developed aiming to deliver cisplatin (cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II); CDDP) targeting the liver. Acetyl glycyrrhetinic acid (AGA) was chosen as the hepatic targeting ligand and acetyl glycyrrhetinic acid-poly(ethylene glycol)-stearate (AGA-PEG-ST) was synthesized. Anionic 5-cholestene-3-beta-ol-3-hemisuccinate (CHO-HS) was also synthesized. The liposomal CDDPs were prepared by employing these functional moieties with phosphatidylcholine (PC) at various ratios. Meanwhile, methoxypolyethylene glycol-stearate (MPEG-ST) with an analogous structure but without AGA was also prepared as a control. The particle sizes of AGA modified liposomes ranged from 120 nm to 180 nm and the zeta potentials were located between −39.7 mV and −3.18 mV. The liposomes had encapsulation percentages of 51.5–61.7% and a loading capacity of 23.2–26.7% for CDDP. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations showed that the liposomes had spherical morphologies with homogeneous distribution. In vitro cytotoxicity of CDDP-loaded liposomes against HepG2 human liver cancer cells and A549 human lung epithelial carcinoma cells were evaluated by MTT assays. The results demonstrated that the introduction of AGA could enhance the cytotoxicity of liposomal CDDP against HepG2 cells but showed less significant impact on A549 cells. CLSM observation and FCM measurement further confirmed that AGA modified liposomes had a stronger affinity to HepG2 cells than that of liposomes without AGA. The tissue distribution of calcein in mice indicated that AGA modified liposomes resulted in higher accumulation in the liver than that of liposomes without the AGA ligand. These results demonstrated the promise of AGA decorated anionic liposomes for hepatic targeted delivery of cisplatin.

A series of pH-temperature dual stimuli-responsive random copolymers poly[ N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate- co -poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate][poly(DMAEMA- co -MPEGMA)] were synthesized by free radical polymerization. The supramolecular hydrogel was formed by pseudopolyrotaxane, which was prepared with the host-guest interactions between α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chains. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the structures of the hydrogels. The pH-temperature dual stimuli responsive properties of the hydrogels were characterized by rheometer. Finally, the controllable drug release behavior of the hydrogel, which was used 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) as the model drug, was investigated at different temperatures and different pH values. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A series of environmental pH-responsive block copolymers PEG-polyurethane with tertiary amine groups in the main chain and free carboxyl groups in the side chain were synthesized, including poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), 1,4-bis (hydroxyethyl) piperazine, 1,6-diisocyanato hexamethylene, and 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid. The chemical structure, molecular weight, and pH-dependent capacity of pH-responsive PEG-polyurethane were examined by 1 H-NMR, FTIR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and an acid-base titration. Moreover, the fluorescent dye fluorescein isothiocyanate was conjugated with PEG-polyurethane by the similar polymerization method and the obtained polymer was measured by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and fluorescent spectroscopy. The results indicated that the pH-responsive PEG-polyurethane showed a pH-buffering phenomenon and fluorescent imaging in a range of pH values. As a result, we demonstrated its potential application for optical imaging; however, it is believed that more applications in the areas of biomedicine will be possible owing to its free carboxyl acid terminal residues in the stimuli-responsive polymer. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Improving the physical properties of biobased polymers using bionanofillers is essential to preserve its biodegradability. This work presents a dopamine-induced functionalization of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with polyethylene glycol (PEG), to enhance the crystallization, mechanical and barrier properties of poly( L -lactic acid) (PLLA) bionanocomposites. The effect of molecular weight of grafted PEG on the properties of PLLA is also studied. PEGylation of CNCs significantly enhance the crystallization of PLLA, especially for CNCs functionalized with PEG of lower molecular weight, which lead to balanced strength and ductility, and 66.4% reduction in the oxygen permeability coefficient at a low content of 0.5 wt %. Moreover, 168% improvement of ductility for PLLA can be obtained by CNCs functionalized with longer PEG chains. The surface functionalization of CNCs proposed here opens up a green avenue towards designing and fabricating fully bio-based, high-barrier and low-cost polymer nanocomposites for packaging applications.

Researchers are accustomed to utilizing traditional solid-state and sol–gel routes to synthesize Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP). No regulation mechanism is proposed to illustrate the growth process of NVP in solvothermal environment. In current work, uniform spherical particles with positive charge are synthesized by molecular self-assembly of nanosphere micelles using structural guiding agent polyethylene glycol (PEG) and surfactant Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Nanoflower-shaped NVP sample is successfully prepared in the 100 % methyl alcohol medium, derived from the plate V 2 O 5 (negative charge) combining with the nuclear nanospheres (positive charge) with the induction of electrostatic attraction. Based on the multi-dimensional tests and molecular dynamic calculation, the protective mechanism of polar solution for NVP system is proposed for the first time, that is, methanol solvent system can better protect the morphological features of NVP than water environment to maintain the original special nanoflower morphology. Due to the distinctive and stabilized nanoflower construction, the optimized NVP60 sample can provide more extra active sites for the efficient de-intercalation of Na + and possess a large contacting area with electrolyte, resulting in the facilitated kinetic characteristics and superior electrochemical performance. The optimized NVP60 cathode possesses superior sodium storage property in both half cell and full cell. This work proposes a synergetic strategy combining theory and experiment to design and synthesize the modified NVP-based cathode materials from the molecular bonding aspect, further promoting the development of high performance cathode for SIBs.

Fast curing hydrogels are highly valuable in the skin care industry. Multi-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a commonly used crosslinking agent for the preparation of fast curing hydrogels. However, the hydrogel preparation using multi-arm PEG crosslinking agents usually requires the end group modifications of reactants, which makes the preparation process complicated and produces hydrogels with low curing rates. In the present study, a fast in situ curing hydrogel, 4-arm-PEG-succinimidyl carbonate/carboxymethyl chitosan (PEG-SC/CMCS), was prepared using 4-arm-PEG-SC as the crosslinking agent and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), a derivative of natural polysaccharide with excellent comprehensive properties, as the framework without any end groups modified. The structure and properties of the prepared hydrogel were characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, rheology and swelling kinetics. The effects of reaction conditions on the structure and properties of hydrogel were investigated. The PEG-SC/CMCS hydrogel exhibited pH-sensitive swelling behaviors. Its application potential in skin care products is demonstrated with its excellent sustained-release performance of Vitamin C, a model drug for skin treatment, and high adsorption capacity of heavy metal ions that are easily deposited on skin surface. Our work has provided a new strategy for building multifunctional gel materials for skin care and offered a PEG-SC/CMCS hydrogel with great application potentials.
