Polyglycerol fatty acid esters (PGFEs), a type of nonionic surfactants, have been widely used in food industry. However, the effects of the aliphatic chain lengths in PGFEs and the concentrations of PGFEs on digestive profiles in emulsion-based systems are poorly understood. The present study has investigated the physicochemical stability, lipolysis dynamics and curcumin bioaccessibility in the nanoemulsions stabilized by synthesized PGFEs with different aliphatic chains (C 10 -C 18 ) at various concentrations using an in vitro gastrointestinal tract (GIT) model. Shorter aliphatic chain or higher concentrations of PGFEs resulted in smaller droplets in the emulsions before and during digestion. PGFEs concentration had different impacts on lipolysis dynamics of nanoemulsions depending on the aliphatic chain lengths of PGFEs. Furthermore, long aliphatic chain of PGFEs contributed to a greater rate and extent of lipolysis, but a lower bioaccessibility of curcumin compared with medium ones, which was attributed to the formation of insoluble calcium soaps induced by calcium ions. These results are expected to facilitate the application of PGFEs for developing optimized nanoemulsions in encapsulating poorly water-soluble nutraceuticals in functional food industry.

ZSM-5 is considered to have great potential in the catalytic synthesis of Trioxane (TOX), and the effect of acidity on TOX selectivity was explored. [Al]-MFI-50, [B]-MFI-50, Platelike [Ga]-MFI-50 and a series of [Ga]-MFI-y materials were investigated by XRF, XRD, XPS, SEM, NH 3 -TPD, BET, Py-FTIR, 71 Ga MAS NMR and 1 H MAS NMR. According to the results, it is clear that the Ga-MFI have a better effect on the selective of TOX compared with the [Al]-MFI, Platelike [Ga]-MFI-50 and [B]-MFI. This is mainly due to the change in the ratio of Brønsted acid density to Lewis acid density (B/L ratio), and the selectivity of TOX increases with the B/L ratio. Moreover, the percentage increase in density of Brønsted acid is less than that of Lewis acid when the ratio of Si atoms to Ga atoms is decreased. So the ratio of Brønsted acid density to Lewis acid density(B/L ratio) decreases. [Ga]-MFI-50 exhibited better catalytic performance among all catalysts with a selectivity of 97.79% for TOX.

This work aims to explore the bulk ring-opening metathesis copolymerization of dicyclopentadiene and 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene by modifying the comonomer feed ratios. Thorough studies showed that their performance can be enhanced by polymerization at elevated temperature and there was a little deviation of properties from mixing rules. That is, the copolymers properties depend on monomer composition and can be roughly predicted by empirical mixing rules. We believe this can help researchers design and prepare ROMP derived polydicyclopentadiene copolymers and apply them in more applications.

High-quality four-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanosheets with lateral dimension of about 11 µm were prepared by ultrasonic treatment of MoS 2 powder with assistance of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent. The optimal preparation conditions for the preparation of MoS 2 nanosheets were investigated from the aspects of ultrasonic processing time, ultrasonic power and amount ratio of MoS 2 powder and NMP solvent. At the same time, the MoS 2 nanosheets were employed as anode buffer layer in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) with copper nanowire (CuNW) film being anode. MoS 2 nanosheets can reduce roughness of CuNW film, protect CuNW film from oxidation and improve work function of CuNW film. Experiments show that MoS 2 nanosheets can significantly improve the current density and brightness of the OLED with CuNW film being anode. The maximum brightness of the OLED with MoS 2 anode buffer layer is 2.15 times that of the OLED without MoS 2 anode buffer layer. The current density of the OLED with MoS 2 anode buffer layer is also obviously increased compared with the OLED without MoS 2 anode buffer layer.

Combining immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy with photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds great potential in treating immunologically “cold” tumors, but photo-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) can inevitably damage co-administered ICB antibodies, hence hampering the therapeutic outcome. Here we create a ROS-responsive hydrogel to realize the sustained co-delivery of photosensitizers and ICB antibodies. During PDT, the hydrogel skeleton poly(deca-4,6-diynedioic acid) (PDDA) protects ICB antibodies by scavenging the harmful ROS, and at the same time, triggers the gradual degradation of the hydrogel to release the drugs in a controlled manner. More interestingly, we can visualize the ROS-responsive hydrogel degradation by Raman imaging, given the ultrastrong and degradation-correlative Raman signal of PDDA in the cellular silent window. A single administration of the hydrogel not only completely inhibits the long-term postoperative recurrence and metastasis of 4T1-tumor-bearing mice, but also effectively restrains the growth of re-challenged tumors. The PDDA-based ROS-responsive hydrogel herein paves a promising way for the durable synergy of PDT and ICB therapy.

With the excessive consumption of fossil fuels and the massive emission of CO 2 , it has led to a series of environmental crises posing a serious threat to sustainable development. Electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) to ethylene helps solve these serious environmental crises. Herein, we report the synthesis of a copper-based electrocatalyst by pyrolysis of yolk-shell structured HKUST-1 with partial substitution of trimesic acid by benzimidazole(nitrogen source). The electrocatalyst exhibits an ethylene Faradic efficiency(FE) of 25.8% and a partial ethylene current density of 23.7 mA/cm 2 , in addition, the electrocatalyst can maintain stable performance during 10 h of electrolysis, which are all better than those of the electrocatalyst without nitrogen dopant. According to electrochemical measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), we propose that the nitrogen dopant plays an effective role in stabilizing Cu(I) species and promoting CO 2 molecules activation, as well as suppressing the reduction of Cu(I) species during electrolysis. Eventually, the performance of the electrocatalyst toward CO 2 RR is studied in a flow cell. This work provides a new route for the design of Cu-based electrocatalyst toward electrochemical CO 2 conversion into ethylene.

The bio-based epoxy nanocomposite (GAER/DOPO-POSS) was prepared from gallic epoxy resin (GAER) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (which containing 9,10-dihydrogen-9-oxo-10-phosphorus-phenanthrene-10-oxide groups, called DOPO-POSS). The polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane containing epoxy groups (E-POSS) was grafted onto aminated graphene oxide (E-GO), then the novel POSS-E-GO was obtained. The POSS-E-GO was used as modifier for GAER/DOPO-POSS nanocomposite. The influences of POSS-E-GO content on mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical properties and thermal stability of GAER/DOPO-POSS nanocomposites were determined. The experimental results show that POSS-E-GO can significantly improve the toughness of the GAER/DOPO-POSS nanocomposite. When 0.5wt% POSS-E-GO was added in GAER/DOPO-POSS nanocomposite, the impact strength of the nanocomposite was 4.74 kJ/m 2 higher than that in the absence of POSS-E-GO, meantime the initial thermal degradation temperature was 277 °C.

The growth of flexible sensors has always been challenging since the sensing behavior, mechanic performance and fatigue resistance remain to be improved. In this paper, a wearable pressure sensor with fast response and high sensitivity based on ionogel/textile is fabricated. The ionogel is a double-network (DN) structure composed of polydimethylacrylamide (PDMAAm) skeleton and silica particles, carrying ionic liquids (ILs), which serves as a piezoresistive device. By impregnating and polymerization with the ionogel-prepolymer solution, a conventional cotton knitted fabric is converted into a conductive and piezoresistive composite. The fabric serves as a ductile supporting matrix for the ionogel, supplementing the piezoresistive contribution of the brittle silica network. This ionogel/textile composite has a high sensitivity ( S =86.90 kPa −1 ) and durability, continuously outputting stable electric signal during monitoring the motion states of different joints in human body. Through the impregnation-polymerization approach, the selected areas toward to the specific joints positions in clothing can be fabricated into piezoresistive devices. The incorporation of textile improves the stress loading and sensing behavior of the ionogel to work steadily under the sole of the foot for gait monitoring. This ionogel/textile device provides a potential formula of wearable sensors, stepping toward the burgeoning diversified-technologies assisted intelligence system.

Developing a new type of superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic oil/water separation membrane with high separation efficiency, high throughput and bacteria separation has essential theoretical and practical significance for treating oily and medical wastewater. This work modified commercial PVDF membranes by knife coating and cross-linking, and PVDF/PVA/LPB/MOF hybrid separation membranes are manufactured. Hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) endows the separation membrane with good hydrophilicity. Lauramidopropyl Betaine (LPB) enhances intermolecular hydrogen bonding and improves the mechanical properties of the membrane. A Metal-organic framework (MOF) with excellent biocompatibility, UiO-66-NH 2 , plays a vital role in the separation of bacteria. The results of the morphology and surface chemistry of characterization analysis show that the PVDF/PVA/LPB/MOF hybrid separation membrane exhibits excellent superhydrophilicity (with a contact angle of 2°) and high-water flux (15600 L/m 2 h) and high separation efficiency (99%), and the nature of filtering bacteria while separating oil. After modification, the separation efficiency increased from 30% to 99%, showing strong oil stain resistance. Our finding suggests that the new type of super-hydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic oil/water separation membrane has potential value in practical applications.

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the main types of primary liver cancer, which shows some abnormal glycosylation, such as the increase of fucose. Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA), a natural plant lectin that can bind to mannose and fucose, has been reported to be antiproliferative to may tumors. However, the effect of LCA on the vitality and migration ability of human hepatoma cells is not demonstrated. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of LCA on vitality and migration in human hepatoma cells and its potential mechanisms. Methods and results LCA had no significant effect on viability of human hepatoma cells (HCCLM3, MHCC97L and HepG2) and hepatocytes (L02) by CCK-8 kit, but it could inhibit human hepatoma cells migration significantly without affecting hepatocytes by Transwell method. Sugar inhibition assay was used to verify the possible binding site between LCA and human hepatoma cells. The result showed that Mannose- and fucose- related sites were associated with LCA inhibiting human hepatoma cells migration. Moreover, LCA could affect HCCLM3 migration by activating ERK1/2 and JNK1/2/3 signalling pathways. LCA did not affect MMP-2 and MMP-9 of HCCLM3 through gelatinase zymography. However, the results of immunofluorescence standing showed that LCA could reduce the F-actin formation in HCCLM3 via ERK1/2 and JNK1/2/3 signalling pathways. Conclusions LCA might inhibit human hepatoma cell migration by reducing the F-actin formation via the mannose and fucose-mediated ERK1/2 and JNK1/2/3 signalling pathway. This result will deepen people’s understanding on plant lectin as a drug in tumor glycobiology.

In order to enhance the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a photoanode and broaden its light absorption range, a ZnIn 2 S 4 /UiO-66/TiO 2 /Ti composite photoanode was developed. The maximum photocurrent density of the prepared photoanode is 2.56 mA cm −2 at 1.2 V (versus SCE), which is 1.79 times higher than that of ZnIn 2 S 4 /TiO 2 /Ti. The rhodamine B (RhB) removal rate, short-circuit current density and maximum power density of a photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) constructed with the ZnIn 2 S 4 /UiO-66/TiO 2 /Ti photoanode and a Cu cathode are 98.01%, 0.22 mA cm −2 and 16.97 μW cm −2 respectively. The enhancement of the PFC performance is mainly attributed to the extremely good energy band matching and nano-size interface contact between ZnIn 2 S 4 and UiO-66. The existence of UiO-66 can be as an electronic transmission bridge, which not only facilitates the rapid transfer and utilization of photogenerated electrons, but also improves the adsorption ability of the photoanode for RhB molecules.

Electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 into alcohols of high economic value offers a promising route to realize resourceful CO 2 utilization. In this study, we choose three model bicentric copper complexes based on the expanded and fluorinated porphyrin structure, but different spatial and coordination geometry, to unravel their structure-property-performance correlation in catalyzing electrochemical CO 2 reduction reactions. We show that the complexes with higher intramolecular tension and coordination asymmetry manifests a lower electrochemical stability and thus more active Cu centers, which can be reduced during electrolysis to form Cu clusters accompanied by partially-reduced or fragmented ligands. We demonstrate the hybrid structure of Cu cluster and partially reduced O-containing hexaphyrin ligand is highly potent in converting CO 2 into alcohols, up to 32.5% ethanol and 18.3% n- propanol in Faradaic efficiencies that have been rarely reported. More importantly, we uncover an interplay between the inorganic and organic phases to synergistically produce alcohols, of which the intermediates are stabilized by a confined space to afford extra O-Cu bonding. This study underlines the exploitation of structure-dependent electrochemical property to steer the CO 2 reduction pathway, as well as a potential generic tactic to target alcohol synthesis by constructing organic/inorganic Cu hybrids.
