Four π-extended viologen derivatives (Spr-PO/Sbu-PO/OHpr-PO/ OHet-PO) were synthesized by introducing oxadiazole group and side chain modification. Compared with viologen with bipyridines as the chromophore, these POs possessed extended conjugation lengths and optimized photoelectron conversion efficiency. The CMC gel electrochromic devices based on them could realize the color transformation from colorless to yellow-green under the working voltage of 1.1 V. Furthermore, due to different side chain groups, the diffusion rates of POs in the gel changed significantly. Compounds based on hydroxyl side chain groups showed higher response rates (<10 s) in the CMC gel system, while sulfonate side chain modified POs showed slower response characteristics (>10 s). All POs showed excellent stability, the optical contrasts were almost unchanged after continuous working for 100 cycles. This study provided an important method for obtaining efficient and stable electrochromic devices.

Surface tension of a series of poly(ethylene glycol)-octyl sulfosuccinates at different temperatures was measured, and the interfacial properties were investigated in the absence and presence of inorganic salts. Surface tension results indicate that critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of five surfactants (C8-PEG200, C8-PEG400, C8-PEG600, C8-PEG800, and C8-PEG1000) decrease as the molecular weight of polyethylene glycol (PEG) segments and the experimental temperature increases. The surface activity of the C8-PEG series changes with temperature, and the surface tension at the CMC ( γ CMC ) of the C8-PEG series decreases initially and then increases as the PEG molecular weight increases. This behavior may be attributed to the dehydration of the surfactant molecules, resulting in the change of hydrophile–lipophile balance for the different EO numbers in the surfactant molecules, which form a different surface energy film at the air–water interface. Negative ΔG m indicates that the micellization process of these surfactants is spontaneous and an entropically driven process. For the water/alkane interface, these surfactants have low interfacial activity. The interfacial tension (IFT) between these surfactants and alkanes increases first and then decreases with the increase in the molecular weight of PEG segments. After the addition of salt, the interfacial activity of the investigated surfactants increases significantly. The IFT between C8-PEG800 and 10–12 alkanes and between C8-PEG1000 and 12–16 alkanes reaches a low IFT magnitude of 10 −2 mN m −1 in the presence of 0.5% CaCl 2 or the mixed inorganic salts 0.5% NaCl+0.5% CaCl 2 .

Carbon capture utilization and storage for reducing anthropogenic CO 2 emissions involve capturing CO 2 from industrial sources and injecting it into geological sinks such as oil reservoirs and depleted gas fields. To ensure environmental and public safety during carbon sequestration implementation, efficient CO 2 monitoring technologies must be developed to detect potential leaks at sequestration sites. Traditional CO 2 sensors used for monitoring these sites typically feature high costs and require specialized personnel for maintenance. This paper innovatively employs an immersion method to construct a surface acoustic wave (SAW) CO 2 sensor based on a polyethyleneimine-coated magnesium metal-organic framework (PEI@Mg-MOF-74) nanocomposite film. The PEI@Mg-MOF-74 SAW sensor exhibits ultra-high sensitivity across a CO 2 concentration range of 500–6000 ppm, with rapid response and recovery times of 11 s/6 s. Additionally, the sensor demonstrates excellent repeatability, selectivity, and long-term stability. Simultaneously, a graphene oxide/ Carboxymethyl Cellulose surface acoustic wave (SAW) humidity sensor was developed to address humidity-related issues. It exhibits ultra-high sensitivity of 14.29 kHz/% RH across a relative humidity range of 11–97% RH, coupled with rapid response and recovery times of 4 s/5 s. The SAW-based CO 2 sensor incorporates humidity compensation through the CSA-AdamW-CapsNet algorithm, and a wireless testing system based on the microcontroller was developed to enable wireless CO 2 and relative humidity measurement. This research provides theoretical foundations and technical prototypes for developing next-generation passive wireless smart sensing systems, holding significant application value in fields such as carbon dioxide capture and sequestration.

Enhancing the stability and reusability of enzymes by encapsulating them within a powerful class of porous materials termed metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been demonstrated by recent studies. However, in all of these reports, the stability of MOFs under acidic conditions was a major issue for enzymes with catalytic activity at low pH. The objective of this study is to encapsulate the β-glucosidase (β-G) into the Cu-MOF due to its acidic stability, using a coprecipitation approach. Indeed, the as-prepared β-G@Cu(PABA) biocomposite with high encapsulation efficiency exhibited enhanced resistance to acidic and thermal conditions as well as organic solvents. Importantly, the β-G@Cu(PABA) biocomposite showed superior reusability, retaining 90% of activity even after 10 cycles. Using the hydrolysis of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as a mode, the mixture of β-G@Cu(PABA) biocomposite and coimmobilized cellulase afforded 98% glucose yield, which was twofold enhancement when compared with coimmobilized cellulose alone. The β-G@Cu(PABA) biocomposite and coimmobilized cellulase could been easily recovered and recycled to still retain 70% productivity in the eight cycles for hydrolyzing CMC. This discovery for the first time highlights the potential of Cu-MOF in preserving the enzymes under acidic conditions. The developed β-G@Cu(PABA) biocomposite by coprecipitation approach affords a valuable platform for enzyme-based industrial applications.

Background Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) are widely regarded as the most promising strategy to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). While the existing development model cannot meet the requirements. Methods Here, we developed a drug prediction and screening platform based on state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) algorithms and cell membrane chromatography (CMC). Using this platform, we discovered several novel EGFR antagonists from massive molecules. The interactions between target compounds and EGFR were investigated using frontal analysis, Surface plasmon resonance analysis, cellular thermal shift assay, and molecule docking. Xenografts models were established to study the anti-tumor activity of most promising compound. Proteomics, immunofluorescence, and Western blots were conducted to explore its mechanism. Results The deep neural network had good performance, with an area under the curve of 0.950 ± 0.012. Among the top 100 molecules predicted by the model, 25 compounds had retention on SNAP-tagged (ST)-EGFR/CMC, of which 12 molecules exhibited significant anti-tumor activity. Interaction analysis revealed that Geraniin, Brazilin, and 7-Epitaxol would directly bind to EGFR and inhibit its activation. 7-Epitaxol exhibited significant anti-tumor activity in vivo and in vitro . 7-Epitaxol combined with EGFR and inhibited its phosphorylation, blocked PI3K/AKT pathways, thereby exerting its anti-tumor activity by promoting autophagy in A549 cells. Conclusion The results provide a novel and powerful platform for drug discovery and development in NSCLC research. By using this platform, Geraniin, Brazilin, and 7-epitaxol were identified as novel EGFR antagonists. We also innovatively demonstrated that 7-epitaxol promotes autophagy in NSCLC.

A series of novel gemini pyridinium surfactants with different alkyl chains were synthesized and characterized. The surface properties and aggregation behavior of the gemini surfactants in solution were studied. The gemini pyridinium salts exhibit higher surface activity than quaternary ammonium salts and can form vesicles above critical micellization concentration (CMC). The antimicrobial performance of these surfactants against E. coli was investigated and compared with those of quaternary ammonium salts. Alkyl chain length has a significant effect on the antimicrobial activity of the gemini surfactants, and the surfactant with decyl group showed more effective antimicrobial activity than quaternary ammonium salts. The high cationic charge density on the polar head group and the strong adsorption tendency confer relatively high antimicrobial of the gemini surfactants.

In this study, pH and thermally responsive P(PFPHM 9 - b -DMAEMA- b -PEGMEA 480 ) was prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using perfluoropolyether hydroxyethyl methacrylate (PFPHM) as hydrophobic core, 2-(Dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate as pH and thermal response function segment, and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate 480 as hydrophilic shell, respectively. The chemical structure, critical micelle concentration (CMC), lower critical solution temperature (LCST), biological toxicity, stability of micelles, drug-loading performance and cumulative drug release rate of prepared P(PFPHM 9 - b -DMAEMA- b -PEGMEA 480 ) were analyzed by 19 F NMR, 1 H NMR, FTIR, DLS, UV–Vis, laser confocal microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results show that P(PFPHM 9 - b -DMAEMA- b -PEGMEA 480 ) exhibites a CMC of 7.5 g/L, LCST of 37.6°C and excellent micelle stability. Moreover, the analysis of drug-loading indicates that the polymer displayed drug loading efficiency (DL) is 21.3% and the encapsulation efficiency (EE) is 90.0%. Its cumulative drug release rates at pH = 6.5 (42°C) is almost double of those at pH = 7.4 (42°C), pH = 6.5 (37°C) and pH = 7.4 (37°C). These results suggeste that the P(PFPHM 9 - b -DMAEMA- b -PEGMEA 480 ) at pH ranging from 6.5 to 7.4 and temperature ranging from 37 to 42°C are pH and temperature sensitive. It has great potential application as a drug loading for DOX.

Zinc metal anodes have been widely used in aqueous Zn-ion batteries. However, side reactions and zinc dendrites were generated on the Zn anode during cycling. These problems lead to short circuits and poor long-cycle stability of the battery. This paper reports a multiple cross-linked PAM-CMC-GG (PCG) gel electrolyte. Zinc uniformly deposited on (002) crystal surfaces under the combined effect of carboxylic acid and amide groups in PCG gel electrolyte. The behavior effectively reduces the generation of zinc dendrites. In addition, the abundant hydroxyl groups in PCG can inhibit the activity of free water and reduce the generation of solvent structures, thus suppressing the formation of byproducts. As a result, the symmetric cells assembled with PCG gel electrolyte operated stably for over 450 h at a current density of 5 mA cm–2, and Zn/Cu asymmetric cells maintained a coulomb efficiency (CE) of 99.2% for more than 500 cycles. It is expected that PCG gel electrolyte provides promising prospects for the practical application of gel electrolytes in energy storage devices.

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) is one main parameter of surfactants , so an accurate, rapid, and convenient method for CMC determination is of great significance for surfactant applications. In this paper, three samples of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with different fluorescence properties were developed as fluorescent probes for the CMC determination of CTAB , SDS , Triton X-100, perfluoro OBS and Pluronics® P-123. The fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of a constant amount of the CQDs in different concentrations of the surfactant solution were recorded, and then the CMC values of the surfactant were deduced from the fluorescence intensity change and the Stokes shift variation. The obtained CMC data using three samples of the CQDs agree well with those in the published literature. It is also demonstrated that in the micellization process the interaction between the CQDs and the surfactant molecules is complicated, because the fluorescence properties of the CQDs are found to be related to the characteristics of the CQDs, the head group type of ionic surfactants , the chemical structure between the hydrophobic and hydrophilic segment, and the chemical nature of the hydrophobic chains of the surfactants. So, the CQDs are demonstrated to be located at the palisade layer in the surfactant micelles due to the surface-attached polar groups on the CQDs although the CQDs are mainly hydrophobic as fluorescent probes. The fluorescent CQDs are considered to be new choices of the fluorescent probes in the facile CMC measurement of the surfactants.

Polymeric micelles from block copolymers have gained increasing attention in cancer drug delivery. However, the fabrication of polymeric micelles that are stable in biological fluids and unstable at tumor sites remains a principal challenge. To achieve the tunable stability for the polymeric micelles, Zn coordination-induced core-crosslinked polymeric micelles have been proposed and confirmed. Herein, a block copolymer bearing imidazole pendants is synthesized which is capable of self-assembling into polymeric micelles in water. After core-crosslinking, it can be found that the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the core-crosslinked polymeric micelles is significantly lower than that of non-crosslinked polymeric micelles. Particularly, the drug-loaded core-crosslinked polymeric micelles are fragile and easily affected by the slightly acidic environments, which makes it possible to turn the polymeric micelles back to hydrophilic polymers and therefore disassemble micelles to unload cargoes. The drug-loaded core-crosslinked polymeric micelles display adequate toxicity as a result of their low IC 50 value of 3.713 ± 0.166 μg/mL. Collectively, Zn coordination-induced core-crosslinked polymeric micelles offer a design idea for practicable drug delivery system in cancer therapy.

Previous studies have found that ionic surfactant micelles can induce depletion forces between oil droplets, whereas the depletion forces induced by nonionic surfactant micelles cannot be measured. Nonionic surfactants are usually mixed with ionic surfactants to induce depletion forces. Here, we report that mixing of nonionic polymer micelles and inorganic salt is also an effective method for inducing depletion between oil droplets. Optical tweezers are used to measure the interaction forces between oil droplets in the aqueous solution of polyoxyethylene–polyoxypropylene–polyoxyethylene nonionic polymer. Without salts, there is no depletion force between oil droplets regardless of whether the concentration of polymer is above or below the critical micelle concentration (CMC). This result is consistent with literature that the oil drops adsorbed by the nonionic polymers were stable against coalescence. However, the depletion force between oil droplets generates when NaCl is added, and the concentration of Pluronic F127 is above or equal to the CMC. This suggests that salts can enhance the depletion force induced by nonionic polymer micelles. These findings have significant implications for the stability of emulsions in the food, oilfield, and medicine industries.

Recently, artificial intelligence has driven the development of shape memory hydrogels (SMHs) with complicated environmental sensitive abilities. However, current SMHs possess fundamental limitations in terms of their responsive performance and mechanical properties , which severely limits their practical applications. Herein, a triple-network composite hydrogel with Fe 3+ , NIR light, and thermal responsive abilities is fabricated and developed as multi-SMHs, named as PDA/CMC-Fe 3+ /PVA hydrogel. In this hydrogel system, the interpenetrating triple network are formed by chemically-physically co-crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) networks, and physically crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-Fe 3+ network. In addition, polydopamine (PDA), which is introduced into the hydrogel system by in-situ polymerization way, could not only serve as an energy converter to endow the hydrogel with NIR-based responsive ability, but also enhance its mechanical strength . Remarkably, the as-prepared PDA/CMC-Fe 3+ /PVA hydrogels with the optimized compositions exhibit relatively excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength = 163.48 ± 10.42 kPa, elastic modulus = 45.42 ± 3.96 kPa, toughness = 165.02 ± 7.01 kJ/m 3 ) due to the synergistic effect of the triple-network and PDA doping. Moreover, the composition of the hydrogel is optimized to realize a stable temporary shape and rapid recovery to the permanent shape, which is controlled by Fe 3+ , NIR irradiation, and thermal stimulus. The resultant hydrogels exhibit not only multi-stimulus responsive abilities, but also programmable multi-shape memory properties. The versatile shape memory properties endow potential for the materials to be used in the field of artificial intelligence.
