The application of recyclable heterogeneous catalysts in the production of polypropylene glycol monomethyl ether (MPPG) is of great significance to the green chemical industry. In this study, the CeO2/MgAl-LDH(P123) composite was prepared using a nucleation/crystallization isolation method and aqueous reconstruction method, and CeO2/MgAl-LDO(P123) solid base catalyst was prepared by calcination with it as precursor. Thereafter, the morphology, crystal structure, functional group, and thermal stability of the catalyst were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, temperature-programmed desorption of carbon dioxide, thermogravimetry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that the catalyst had a larger specific surface area, pore size and pore volume and more basic sites, providing sufficient catalytic activity for the polymerization process. The experimental results for the fabrication of MPPG using CeO2/MgAl-LDO(P123) as catalyst and methanol and propylene oxide as reaction raw materials showed that the conversion of propylene oxide reached 92.04% and the molecular weight of MPPG was 405 under the optimal reaction conditions. Moreover, the conversion of propylene oxide was maintained above 83.69% after the catalyst was reused six times. This study offers a new prospect for the green synthesis of MPPG products.

Carbonyl sulfur (COS) was difficult to be removed by conventional desulfurization technologies because of its stable chemical properties. Mesoporous γ-Al 2 O 3 (MA) showed excellent potential for hydrolysis of COS, but the catalyst life was greatly shortened with the progress of the reaction. Therefore, improving the catalyst life is the key to MA which can apply to hydrolysis of COS. In this study, P123 modified mesoporous γ-Al 2 O 3 (P-MA) catalyst was prepared by sol–gel method, and it was regulated by template agent and acidity regulator. These preparation conditions of P-MA were optimized to improve the hydrolysis efficiency of COS. The effects of temperature, space velocity, relative humidity and oxygen concentration for the hydrolysis efficiency of COS were studied. The results show that the optimized P-MA catalyst is suitable for COS low-temperature hydrolysis reaction, and it can maintain 99 % for 10 h under the tough reaction conditions. The only crystal of P-MA was γ-Al 2 O 3 with large specific surface area and uniform distribution pore, which are beneficial to the COS hydrolysis. In addition, the hydrolysis efficiency of COS can also remain 97 % for 10 h in the O 2 and CO 2 atmosphere, indicating that the P-MA catalyst has a specific anti-poisoning ability. The kinetics and reaction mechanism of COS catalytic hydrolysis were studied, which showed that the adsorption of H 2 S was the key to hindering the continuous reaction. The P-MA can effectively inhibit the adsorption of H 2 S, which greatly improved COS hydrolysis life of P-MA. This study provided a theoretical basis for the application of Al 2 O 3 catalyst in the COS hydrolysis.

In this research, a novel method was used to successfully stably coat Pluronic P123 on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Co-constructing a drug delivery system (DDS) with P123 and MSNs has not been previously reported. In this DDS, the coating of P123 was realized through a hydrophobic interaction with octadecyl chain-modified MSNs. The experiments found only Pluronic with an appropriate ratio of hydrophilic and lipophilic segments could keep the nanoassemblies stable. For comparison, nanoassemblies consisting of P123 and octadecyl chain-modified MSNs with or without a disulfide bond were prepared, which were denoted as PSMSNs and PMSNs, respectively. The disulfide bond was expected to endow the system with redox-responsiveness to enhance the therapeutic effect meanwhile decreasing the toxicity. A series of experiments including characterization of the nanoparticles, in vitro drug release, cell uptake and cellular drug release, in vitro cytotoxicity, cell migration and biodistribution of the nanoparticles were carried out. Compared with the PMSNs, PSMSNs displayed a redox-responsive drug release property not only in in vitro release text, but also on the cellular level. In addition, the cell migration experiments proved that the coating of P123 endowed the system with the ability of anti-metastasis. The accumulation of P123 in the tumor was enhanced after coating the MSNs by virtue of the 'EPR' effect of nanoparticles compared with the solution form.

Ruthenium (Ru) nanoparticles were prepared using polyoxyethylene–polyoxypropylene–polyoxyethylene triblock copolymer (P123) micelles in water as a stabilizing agent. The P123–Ru micellar catalyst was first used in the hydrogenation of α-pinene to pinane, and the selectivity for cis-pinane reached 98.9%. This result is attributed to the formation of vesicles. The isolated catalyst phase could be used seven times with no treatment, and its catalytic activity and selectivity were almost unchanged. The preparation process of the catalyst and hydrogenation reaction of α-pinene was under mild and environmentally friendly conditions. This research offers an effective method for the hydrogenation of α-pinene and provides a reference for other hydrophobic natural products in hydrogenation reactions.

A novel strategy was proposed for the fabrication of high-performance acidic mesoporous poly ionic liquids catalyst. In this work, mesoporous poly ionic liquids (MPILs) were synthesized with P123 (PEO 20 PPO 70 PEO 20 ) served as pore-forming agent. Then, MPILs were treated with PW 3− anion exchange, thereby fabricating PW/MPIL-S(x). MPIL and PW/MPIL-S(x) were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Thermogravimetric analysis (TA), N 2 adsorption–desorption and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra. The effect of solvent and concentration of P123 on the morphology and mesoporous structure of MPILs were investigated systematically. And the results show that MPILs were featured with mesoporous channel structure, high surface area (up to 737 m 2 /g) and large pore volumes (1.16 cm 3 /g), which benefit heterogeneous phase reaction (such as, alkylation of styrene with o -xylene). In the alkylation reaction, under optimal reaction conditions, the catalyst PW/MPIL-THF (4.0 g) shows high conversion of styrene (100%) and PXE yield (96.21%), demonstrating the excellent catalytic activities. Furthermore, PW/MPIL-S(x) are easy to be separated from the catalytic system by filtration and show no obvious decrease in catalytic activity after 6 cycle runs. The obtained PW/MPIL-S(x) catalyst exhibit high thermal and mechanical stability as well, indicating extensive application in high temperature acidic catalysis. This work might open up a new method for the synthesizing of porous polymer catalysts in the future.

Herein, a novel strategy was proposed for the fabrication of hierarchical porous silica materials templated by a poly ionic liquid (PIL, a copolymer of 1-butyl-3-vinylimidazolium bromide and acrylamide) and P123 (PEO20PPO70PEO20). The PIL acts as a co-solvent as well as a co-template in the system. The effects of the concentration of the PIL and pH on the morphology and structure of silica materials were systematically investigated. Hierarchical porous silica materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Moreover, the results demonstrated that the porous silica materials were equipped with a dual-mesoporous channel structure and possessed a high surface area and large pore volumes up to 1274 m2 g−1 and 1.41 cm3 g−1, respectively. Furthermore, a high-performance catalyst-based supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) was obtained by surface modification with the IL (1-(tri-ethoxy-silyl-propyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride) of the carrier and anion exchange with HPW. Catalytic performances were investigated in the alkylation of styrene with o-xylene. Moreover, it was found that the as-synthesized catalysts showed high catalytic performance in terms of styrene conversion and selectivity to 1-phenyl-1-xylyl ethane (PXE). Specifically, the catalyst PIL-1.0g-2-IL-HPW showed excellent activities in both the yield (91.5%) and selectivity (96.8%) for this alkylation reaction.

It was found that 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene was a suitable swelling agent, which worked effectively in the pluronic-P123-templated synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8/silica composites when a moderate amount was added. The pore diameter of the foams in resulting composites increased to 50–60 nm when the 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene /P123 weight ratio of 3/4 was used during the synthesis. In addition, the composite with enlarged diameter of foams showed superior adsorption capacity to phthalic acid (H 2 -PA) at 20 °C in comparison with aggregated bulk zeolitic imidazolate framework-8.

The purpose of this study was to develop spherical mesocellular foam (MCF) loaded with a poorly water-soluble drug, intended to be orally administered, able to improve the dissolution rate and enhance the drug loading capacity. Spherical MCF with a continuous 3-D pore system was synthesized using Pluronic 123 triblock polymer (P123) as a surfactant coupled with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a co-surfactant. A model drug, simvastatin (SV), was loaded onto spherical MCF via a procedure involving a combination of adsorption equilibrium and solvent evaporation . The drug release rate and the drug loading efficiency of spherical MCF were compared with those of fibrous SBA-15. Investigations using nitrogen adsorption , scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and HPLC demonstrated the successful incorporation of SV into the MCF host. It was found that spherical MCF has a high drug loading efficiency up to 37.5%, and higher than that of fibrous SBA-15 with a pore diameter of 6.5 nm. It is worth noting that fast release rate of SV was obtained from spherical MCF compared with SBA-15 and pure crystalline SV using enzyme-free simulated intestinal fluid (SIF, pH 6.8).

Introduction The development of nanodrug carriers utilizing tumor microenvironment has become a hotspot in reversing multidrug resistance (MDR).Materials and methods This study synthesized a redox-sensitive copolymer, Pluronic F127-disulfide bond-d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (FSST), through the connection of the reduction-sensitive disulfide bond between F127 and d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate. This polymer could induce the elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, ultimately resulting in cytotoxicity. Moreover, the redox-responsive mixed micelles, F127-folate (FA)/FSST/P123 (FFSSTP), based on FSST, Pluronic F127-FA, and Pluronic P123, were prepared to load paclitaxel (PTX).Results The in vitro release study demonstrated that FFSSTP/PTX accelerated the PTX release through the breakage of disulfide bond in reductive environment. In cellular experiment, FFSSTP/PTX induced significant apoptosis in PTX-resistant MCF-7/PTX cells through inhibiting adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette proteins from pumping out PTX by interfering with the mitochondrial function and ATP synthesis. Furthermore, FFSSTP/PTX induced apoptosis through elevating the intracellular levels of ROS.Conclusion FFSSTP could become a potential carrier for the treatment of MDR tumors.

Aim: To develop precise targeting and versatile Fe3O4@SiO2-P123/PTX-ZnPc nanoparticles (FSP-PTX-ZnPc NPs) to reverse paclitaxel (PTX)-induced multidrug resistance in breast cancer. Materials & methods: PTX and zinc (II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) co-loaded FSP-PTX-ZnPc NPs were designed. The resulting multifunctional NPs were evaluated systematically in vitro and in vivo, and the mechanism of drug-resistance reversal was investigated. Results: The NPs enhanced drug uptake in MCF-7/PDR cells by increasing drug solubility and impairing P-glycoprotein efflux. Additionally, magnetic targeting and enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect enhanced drug accumulation in tumor, facilitating the chemotherapeutic and photodynamic therapy effects. Moreover, FSP-PTX-ZnPc NPs could penetrate the blood–brain barrier, a desirable trait for brain disease therapy. Conclusion: The multifunctional FSP-PTX-ZnPc NPs are an effective tool for overcoming drug resistance in breast cancer.

Ovarian cancer (OC) has a low five-year survival rate, mainly because of its drug resistance to chemotherapy. It is the key to reverse drug resistance to combine multiple sensitization pathways to play a synergistic role. A nano scaled targeted co-delivery system (P123-PEI-G12, PPG) modified by bifunctional peptide tLyP-1-NLS (G12) was fabricated by using Pluronic P123 conjugated with low molecular weight polyethyleneimine (PEI). This delivery system can co-delivery Olaparib (Ola) and p53 plasmids to synergistically enhance the sensitivity of OC to platinum-based chemotherapy. [email protected] /Ola (Co-PPGs) can achieve efficient tumor accumulation and cellular internalization through G12-mediated targeting. Co-PPGs then break down in the tumor cells, releasing the drug. Co-PPGs significantly enhanced the sensitivity of cisplatin (DDP) in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) and synergistically inhibited the proliferation of PROC in vitro and in vivo . The sensitizing and synergistic effects of Co-PPGs were related to the activation of p53, inhibition of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) and p-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression. This work provides a promising strategy for the effective treatment of PROC.

A macroporous organic adsorbent was designed and prepared using the template method, with acrylamide (AM) as the skeleton, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as the shell, and F-127 and Pluronic block copolymer (P123) as surfactants, and grafted with polyethyleneimine (PEI). Solid adsorbents were used for carbon dioxide capture. The effect of the AM/GMA mass ratio on the spherical morphology, through-hole structure, specific surface area, hardness, hydrophobicity, and thermal stability was comprehensively investigated, and the CO2 adsorption performance of the PEI-modified adsorbent was studied. Surface area and morphology characterization showed that after the introduction of GMA, the wall thickness and roughness increased, and the specific surface area and the mass of GMA first showed a positive correlation and then a negative correlation. In addition, the thermal stability was slightly reduced, and the hydrophobicity was greatly improved. The CO2 adsorption results revealed that the organic adsorbents exhibited higher adsorption capacity and faster adsorption kinetics than conventional CO2 capture materials, and their simple synthesis enables their industrial application. The study revealed that the preparation of PEI-modified adsorbents with a core–shell structure greatly improved thermal stability and selectivity. When the PEI loading was 50 wt %, the CO2 capacity of the core–shell microspheres reached 3.11 mmol·g–1 at 40 °C, and desorption can be completed at 85 °C. The proposed material has a good industrial application prospect and shows an excellent lifetime performance.
