Background Specific targeting ability and good cell penetration are two critical requirements of tumor-targeted delivery systems. In the present work, we developed a novel matrix metalloprotein-triggered, cell-penetrating, peptide-modified, star-shaped nanoparticle (NP) based on a functionalized copolymer (MePEG-Peptide-Tri-CL), with the peptide composed of GPLGIAG (matrix metalloprotein-triggered peptide for targeted delivery) and r9 (cell-penetrating peptide for penetration improvement) to enhance its biological specificity and therapeutic effect.Results Based on the in vitro release study, a sustained release profile was achieved for curcumin (Cur) release from the Cur-P-NPs at pH 7.4. Furthermore, the release rate of Cur was accelerated in the enzymatic reaction. MTT assay results indicated that the biocompatibility of polymer NPs (P-NPs) was inversely related to the NP concentration, while the efficiency toward tumor cell inhibition was positively related to the Cur-P-NP concentration. In addition, Cur-P-NPs showed higher fluorescence intensity than Cur-NPs in tumor cells, indicating improved penetration of tumor cells. An in vivo biodistribution study further demonstrated that Cur-P-NPs exhibited stronger targeting to A549 xenografts than to normal tissue. Furthermore, the strongest tumor growth inhibition (76.95%) was observed in Cur-P-NP-treated A549 tumor xenograft nude mice, with slight pulmonary toxicity.Conclusion All results demonstrated that Cur-P-NP is a promising drug delivery system that possesses specific enzyme responsiveness for use in anti-tumor therapy.

Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) involves reversible reactions which can be controlled by thermodynamics method . Transesterification is one of the most widely explored DCC reactions. In this paper, transesterification was used to synthesize self-healing network. First, a three-arm star -shaped hydroxyl-terminated polyglycolide (HTPG) was fabricated though the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of glycolide by using triethanolamine (TEA) as initiator and tetrabutyl titanate (TBT) as catalyst. Then the self-healing network i.e. isocyanate-based crosslinked star -shaped polyglycolide (ICSPG) was prepared through the crosslink between hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer (HDIT) and HTPG. In order to explore the mechanism of the self-healing, a polyurethane based on a tri-functional polyether polyol (PPPU)was synthesized. The structures of HTPG, ICSPG and PPPU were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR). The mechanical properties and self-healing properties were characterized by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM). And the welding test was used to further characterize the self-healing properties of ICSPG. It was found that mechanical recovery is about 70%. The POM results showed that ICSPG exhibited self-healing properties at high temperature.

Photo-induced metal free ATRP method was employed for the synthesis of star-shaped polymers. By using 21-Br-β-CD as the macroinitiator, 10-phenylphenothiazine as the photoredox catalyst, star-shaped PtBA homopolymers were synthesized. The photo-induced ATRP displayed all the characteristics of controlled/living polymerization systems and the good light control over the polymerization process. The successful chain extension with MMA demonstrated the high livingness of PtBA “arms” and good controllability of the Photo-induced metal free ATRP. Finally, the achieved PtBA-b-PMMA star-shaped copolymers were used as templates for the preparation of precisely size-tunable CdSe quantum dots after a simple hydrolyzing process.

As the laws about emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) become more and more stringent, low VOC content coatings, such as high solid polyurethane coating, gradually attract great attention. Herein, a series of star-shaped hydroxyl polyesters (SHPs) were synthesized by methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA), diisopropanolamine (DIPA), and monoglycidyl ether. The number of their average molecular weights is ranged from 913 to 1390 with 1.55–1.75 of PDI. The viscosities of SHPs are low to 1060 mPa·s. The molecular structures of SHPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopies. The high-solid two-component polyurethane coatings (2 K-PU) from SHP-3 have a 65% of the solid contents and exhibit 20 mPa·s of the applied viscosity with 310 g/L of VOC contents. Moreover, the polyurethane film displays high coating hardness up to 2H, as well as excellent chemical resistance and good thermal stability.

A glucose-sensitive multilayer film was fabricated by the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly method with positively charged 21-arm poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (star PDMAEMA) and negatively charged insulin and glucose oxidase (GOD) in the form of {(Star PDMAEMA/Insulin) 4 + (Star PDMAEMA/GOD) 4 + Star PDMAEMA}. The multilayer film shows an on-off regulation of insulin release in response to stepwise glucose challenge in vitro . It is found that the unique structure of star PDMAEMA and interdiffusion of charged insulin are the main factors to control the on-off status of the film. Reversible surface morphology transitions of the multilayer film were also observed, revealing a phase separation and large-scale reorganization process. Furthermore, the multilayer film could continuously release enough insulin in vivo after being subcutaneously implanted in streptocozotin-induced diabetic rats and reduce the blood glucose level for at least two weeks. It is indicated that such system may have substantial potential as a glucose-sensitive carrier for insulin due to its distinct mechanism.

This research provides an effective approach to synthesize a hyperbranched star polymeric ionic liquid (HBPS-(PVIMBr)x) with a hyperbranched polystyrene core and poly(1-butyl-3-vinylimidazolium bromide) arms via a combination of atom transfer radical self-condensing vinyl polymerization (ATR-SCVP) and RAFT polymerization. The synthesis process ensures good structural controllability and consistency that all of the arms of the star polymers are ionized. The obtained star polymeric ionic liquid shows good thermal stability with initial thermal decomposition temperatures above 290 °C. Moreover, after anion exchange, the TFSI− anion based hyperbranched star polymeric ionic liquid (HBPS-(PVIMTFSI)x) is used as the all-solid polymer electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries. The electrolytes (HBPS-(PVIMTFSI)x/LiTFSI) fabricated by the solution casting method exhibit a high room temperature ionic conductivity (4.76 × 10−5 S cm−1, the quantitative ratio of LiTFSI to the polymer matrix is 40%), a wide electrochemical window (4.9 V) and great interfacial compatibility.

A pair of star-like conjugated isomers (Tetra-8-IQ and Tetra-9-IQ) with indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline as the star arm and tetraphenylethylene as the star core have been designed and synthesized. A comparative study has been conducted on the structural characteristics, electronic energy levels, spectral absorption, aggregation-induced emission, acid-stimulus response, and fluorescent applications of the two isomers. The results show that Tetra-8-IQ has lower lowest unoccupied molecular orbital/highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels, more redshifted optical absorption, and stronger fluorescence emission than Tetra-9-IQ. The two isomers are novel organic fluorescent materials as they both possess aggregation-induced emission characteristics and reversible acidichromism features. Tetra-8-IQ and Tetra-9-IQ were successfully applied in filter paper test strips and PMMA-based blending film to achieve fluorescent switch signals. Based on these findings, the INHIBIT and IMPLICATION molecular logic gates were successfully established, where acid and base were adopted as the input stimuli.

Low-molecular-mass gelators (LMMGs) as stabilizers for gel emulsions offer numerous advantages, such as low usage, functionalizability, and insensitivity to phase ratio. Using LMMGs as stabilizers is one of the effective strategies for preparing gel emulsions. Currently, developing LMMGs and stable gel emulsion systems in a rapid and convenient manner remains a challenge. To cope with the challenge, this study aims to develop a simple and efficient gel emulsion preparation method based on LMMGs. In this study, a cholesterol-based star-shaped derivative (CSD) was designed and synthesized as an LMMG. Based on gelation experiments, a high internal phase W/O gel emulsion system (H2O/CSD-poly(oligo)-dimethylsiloxane/dichloromethane) was successfully developed and stabilized synergistically by the stabilizer (CSD) and the crosslinker (poly(oligo)-dimethylsiloxane with two olefinic bonds at its ends, D-PDMS). The results demonstrate that the synergistic interaction between CSD and D-PDMS is critical for the formation of the gel emulsion. Building on the original gel emulsion system, two novel in situ polymerizable gel emulsion systems (H2O/CSD-D-PDMS/dichloromethane-tert-butyl methacrylate and H2O/CSD-D-PDMS/dichloromethane-N-tert-butyl methacrylamide) were successfully developed by introducing suitable amphiphilic (hydrophilic/lipophilic) polymerizable monomers. This study found that changes in the amphiphilicity of the introduced monomers significantly affected the stability and microscopic morphology of the gel emulsion system. The findings indicate that constructing a hydrophilic/lipophilic balanced system via the synergistic action of stabilizers and crosslinkers in a solvent system, followed by the introduction of polymerizable monomers, is a simple and efficient method for rapidly developing novel polymerizable gel emulsions. These new polymerizable gel emulsions lay the foundation for the subsequent preparation of porous organic polymers (POPs).

Background As the derivatives of cyclodextrin (CD), cyclodextrin polymers (CDPs) effectively increase the concentration of CD units and construct supramolecular structures with unique stereoselectivity by the structure design. CDPs have shown significant potential in chiral separation, however, the process of stereoselective interactions on chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and the specific contribution of intermolecular forces are still a challenge issue. A comprehensive understanding of the chiral recognition mechanism of CDPs will help to optimize chiral separation conditions and design new CSPs. Results The star CDP with a supermolecular structure was synthesized by grafting β-CD onto the external 6-position hydroxyl groups using β-CD as the parent nucleus. The enhanced host-guest recognition ability of CD supramolecular polymer structure provided better inclusion interaction and increased chiral recognition of the isomers. The Star-CD CSP with star CDP as a chiral ligand performed satisfactory stereoisomer separation ability with the separation factor (α) up to 2.0 for various quinoline alkaloid isomers and 1.89 for catechins. To elucidate its chiral separation mechanism, molecular docking was used to construct the three-dimensional visual models of the binding sites and the contribution of non-covalent interactions between Star-CD CSP and quinoline alkaloid isomers. In addition, the formation sites of non-covalent interactions on the CD monomers of the polymer side chains were confirmed from the actual geometric structure by analyzing the NMR chemical shift changes before and after the formation of complexes between Star-CD polymers and isomers. Combined with the mutual evidence of molecular simulation and chiral NMR, the specific recognition mechanism of selector-selectand complexes was comprehensively expounded. Significance The multi-mode CSP based on cyclodextrin supramolecular structure provides new ideas for the stereoisomeric separation of complex chiral components with multiple chiral centers in natural products. Not limited to the macroscopic performance of the chromatographic separation, molecular docking explored the theoretical model of chiral recognition from the molecular level. The chiral NMR analysis confirmed the credibility of the model from the geometry structure, and then the recognition mechanism of multi-mode CSP was fully elaborated combining the above three aspects.

The long-chain ligands and weak charge-transport capacity of perovskite nanocrystal (NC) always hinder its optoelectronic applications. Our study proposes an effective strategy to unlock the optimized nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of perovskite via the aromatic ligand-exchange plus porphyrin-axial-coordination. Synthesized porphyrin-pyridine dual-modified CsPbBr3-NC hybrid material, fabricated by 4-(aminomethyl)pyridine (PyMA) and a novel star-shaped zinc-porphyrin trisubstituted triazacoronene compound (ZnPr) modifications, exhibits excellent NLO absorption performance under femtosecond (fs) laser irradiation in the visible to near-infrared range. Specifically, its nonlinear absorption coefficient is 10 times higher than that of the pristine CsPbBr3-NC and it also possesses an outstanding optical limiting (OL) capability with an OL threshold as low as 1.8 mJ cm−2. The modification of PyMA ligands reduces the trap state density on the perovskite surface and promotes the electronic coupling between the NC lattices. With the aid of PyMA coordinating with the Zn atoms in ZnPr, large-size planar porphyrins are anchored on the perovskite surface from the axial position, which may enhance the ligand protection capability and thereby significantly facilitate the charge transport between porphyrin components and perovskite NCs. The above two-step modification synergistically contributes to the prominent NLO performance. Our work affords a new viable paradigm for developing multi-field and high-performance perovskite NC photonic materials and devices.

In this work, two series of linear-comb and star-comb well defined graft poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) have been synthesized conveniently by one-pot ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of L-lactide using functionalized polybutadiene macroinitiators. The used organocatalyst of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene (DBU) allows the polymerization of L-lactide to proceed rapidly at room temperature. Kinetic studies of the ROP reaction in this system indicate first-order kinetics in monomer concentration. 1H NMR and GPC techniques are employed to characterize the synthesized polymers, validating the formation of the desired comb structures with controllable chain length. Linear-comb and star-comb graft PLLA were comparatively studied as well as with linear PLLA by DSC and POM. The results reveal that the comb structure gives a remarkable improvement of PLLA crystallization ability in both crystallinity and growth rate of spherulites. Furthermore, the more compacted star-comb structure imposes restriction on chain mobility, which weakens the growth effect to some extent. It is found that the glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) significantly depend on the side chain length and backbone structure. Rheological studies of both melt and instinct viscosity of the solution show that star-comb PLLA has the lowest hydrodynamic volume compared with linear-comb PLLA and linear PLLA.
