Superhydrophobic surfaces, such as lotus leaves, have attracted significant attention because of their excellent performance and potential application value. However, the micro-nano hierarchy on superhydrophobic surfaces is often vulnerable and easily broken from mechanical stress or chemical corrosion, which greatly inhibits its practical application and long-term service. This study presents a low-cost and scalable superhydrophobic coating based on an interpenetrated polymer network of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and epoxy resin . The composite polymer matrix exhibits mechanical robustness as derived from the epoxy resin and low surface energy as derived from the PDMS. The superhydrophobic coating is obtained by dispersing fluoroalkyl-silane-modified SiO 2 in the solution containing the composite polymer . The multi-level hierarchical structure of SiO 2 aggregations and their strong bonding with the composite polymer gives the coating outstanding mechanical durability while maintaining superhydrophobicity after multiple cycles of sandpaper abrasion, tape peeling, and water impact tests. The chemical inertness of all components ensures its chemical stability, and the surface shows super repellency to strong acids and alkaline liquids (pH = 0–14). The coating also has excellent self-cleaning properties, which has potential applications in various industrial fields.

The interaction of bovine serum with leucomalachite green (LMG) was investigated by spectroscopic methods . LMG was found to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA by dynamic quenching. High quenching constant suggested that LMG can form a complex with BSA. Binding constant and number of binding site were determined. The thermodynamic parameters suggested the main interacting force is hydrophobic forces . The effect of LMG on the conformation of BSA was analyzed by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy . RLS spectra were also used to reconfirm the formation of complex between BSA and LMG.

Well-crystallized one-dimensional (1D) SnO 2 nanobelts were in situ prepared using a simple water-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The small Sn particles with Au-modifications were used as source materials instead of big size Sn grains to ensure the high yield of SnO 2 belts. The Au layer was modified on the small Sn particles by treating Sn powders in HAuCl 4 solution combined with the UV irradiation. The as-prepared SnO 2 nanobelts were characterized by SEM, HRTEM, XRD, EDS and XPS. These results indicate that the growth temperature plays an important role in controlling the length-to-width ratio of nanobelts. The length-to-width ratio decreases with the growth temperature from 850 °C to 1000 °C. The nanobelts prepared at 850 °C shows a single-crystalline tetragonal rutile phase with a high length-to-width ratio (approximately tens of microns in length and 40–70 nm in width). However, below 850 °C, nanobelts cannot be formed. The as-prepared nanobelts exhibited excellent sensing properties compared with SnO 2 nanoparticles and high sensing selectivity towards NO 2 . The high sensing selectivity to NO 2 is attributed to the oxygen vacancies presenting in the as-prepared nanobelts.

Reduced graphene oxide functionalized with magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and –PhSO 3 H groups (Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H) was reported for environmentally benign hydrolysis of cellulosic materials, which is an important process in integrated utilization of biomass resource. Except for –PhSO 3 H groups, –COOH and –OH groups derived from graphene oxide (GO) were also expected in the structure of Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H. Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H exhibited outstanding catalytic performance for the hydrolysis of cellulosic materials, due to its crumpling feature with clear layers and the coexistence of –COOH and –OH groups. The unique structure of Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H favors the accessibility of cellulose to the active sites of the material and facilitates the diffusion of the product molecules. –COOH groups on the surface of the material provide a large concentration of acidic functionality for hydrolyzing cellulose, while –OH groups readily adsorb cellulose through forming strong hydrogen bonds between –OH groups and the oxygen atoms in β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Furthermore, Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H can also be easily separated from the reaction residue with an extra magnetic force and further used at least five times.

Tirapazamine (TPZ), an antitumor prodrug, can be activated in hypoxic environment. It specifically targets the hypoxic microenvironment of tumors and produces toxic free radicals. However, due to the tumor is not completely hypoxic, TPZ often fails to effectively treat the entire tumor tissue, resulting in suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. Herein, a low pathogenic Escherichia coli TOP10 is utilized to selectively colonize tumor tissues, disrupt blood vessels, and induce thrombus formation, leading to the expansion of hypoxic region and improving the therapeutic effect of TPZ. Additionally, a thermosensitive hydrogel is constructed by Pluronic F-127 (F127), which undergoes gelation in situ at the tumor site, resulting in sustained release of TPZ. To monitor the therapeutic process, it is genetically modified TOP10 by integrating the bioluminescent system luxCDABE (TOP10-Lux). The bioluminescent signal is associated with tumor hypoxia enhancement and thrombus formation, which is beneficial for therapeutic monitoring with bioluminescence imaging. In the murine colon cancer model, the TOP10-Lux combined with TPZ-loaded F127 hydrogel effectively suppressed tumor growth, and the treatment process is efficiently monitored. Together, this work employs genetically modified TOP10-Lux to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of TPZ and monitor the treatment process, providing an effective strategy for bacteria-based tumor-targeted chemotherapy and treatment monitoring.

The misuse of antibiotics has increased the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), considered a class of critical environmental contaminants due to their ubiquitous and persistent nature. Previous studies reported the potentiality of bio-electro-Fenton processes for antibiotic removal and ARGs control. However, the production and fate of ARGs in bio-electro-Fenton processes triggered by microbial fuel cells are rare. In this study, the norfloxacin (NFLX) average residual concentrations within two days were 2.02, 6.07 and 14.84 mg/L, and the average removal efficiency of NFLX was 79.8 %, 69.6 % and 62.9 % at the initial antibiotic concentrations of 10, 20 and 40 mg/L, respectively. The most prevalent resistance gene type in all processes was the fluoroquinolone antibiotic gene. Furthermore, Proteobacteria was the dominant ARG-carrying bacteria. Overall, this study can provide theoretical support for the efficient treatment of high antibiotics-contained wastewater by bio-electro-Fenton systems to better control ARGs from the perspective of ecological security.

Sodium alginate (SA) was combined with poly( N -isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) to prepare thermosensitive hydrogels through semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) and fully interpenetrating polymer network (full-IPN). The thermosensitive, swelling, mechanical, and thermal properties of pure PNIPAAm, SA/PNIPAAm semi-IPN, and Ca-alginate/PNIPAAm full-IPN hydrogels were investigated. The formation of semi-IPN and full-IPN significantly improved the hydrogels’ swelling capability and mechanical properties without altering their thermosensitivity. 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) was selected as a model drug to study the release behaviors of the hydrogels. It was found that in vitro controlled drug release from semi-IPN hydrogels showed an initial release burst, followed by a slower and sustained release, before reaching equilibrium. Full-IPN hydrogels showed slow and sustained release during the whole process. Temperature and pH were found to affect the rate of drug release. Ca-alginate/PNIPAAm full-IPN hydrogels have potential application as drug delivery matrices in controlled drug release.

Coagulation–ultrafiltration (C–UF) is widely used for surface water treatment. With the removal of pollutants, the characteristics of organic matter change and affect the final treatment efficiency and the development of membrane fouling . In this study, we built a dynamic C–UF set-up to carry out the treatment of micro-polluted surface water, to investigate the characteristics of dissolved organic matter from different units. The influences of poly aluminum chloride and poly dimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PDMDAAC) on removal efficiency and membrane fouling were also investigated. Results showed that the dosage of PDMDAAC evidently increased the UV 254 and dissolved organic carbon removal efficiencies, and thereby alleviated membrane fouling in the C–UF process. Most hydrophobic bases (HoB) and hydrophobic neutral fractions could be removed by coagulation. Similarly, UF was good at removing HoB compared to hydrophilic substances (HiS) and hydrophobic acid (HoA) fractions. HiS and HoA fractions with low molecule weight accumulated on the surface of the membrane, causing the increase of transmembrane pressure (TMP). Membrane fouling was mainly caused by a removable cake layer, and mechanical cleaning was an efficient way to decrease the TMP.

Directional water transport in garment materials plays a pivotal role in maintaining human thermal and wet comfort. In the present work, a new type of multilayer fibrous mat with the specific function of directional water transport was prepared via the combination of melt-electrospinning and solution-electrospinning. The polypropylene (PP) fibrous layer prepared by melt-electrospinning technology was located in the inner layer (next to the skin), while the polyacrylonitrile-containing hydrophilic nano-silica particles (PAN-SiO2) layer with remarkable hydrophilicity was located in the outer layer, which could effectively transport water to the outer surface of the composites. Treatment of the as-prepared PAN-SiO2/PP with an alkaline aqueous solution of dopamine not only increased the wettability of the PP layer, but also further improved the hydrophilicity of PAN-SiO2. A layer of cotton woven mesh was added between the TPP layer and TPAN-SiO2 to form a sandwich structure in order to accelerate water transport in the bilayered fibrous mats. The directional water transport, mechanical flexibility, and permeability of the prepared multilayered superfine fibrous mat were characterized systematically. The experimental results exhibited that TPAN-SiO2/cotton mesh/TPP exhibited an excellent accumulative one-way transport index (AOTI, 1071%), remarkable overall moisture management capacity (OMMC, 0.88), and reasonably high water vapor transport rate (WVT, 11.6 kg d−1 m−2), indicating it is a promising candidate for the development of novel textile materials for use in the field of sportswear for fast sweat release applications.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) tethered fluorinated diblock copolymers including linear-shaped ap-POSS–PMMA-b-PDFHM and star-shaped s-POSS–(PMMA-b-PDFHM)16 are synthesized by octakis(dibromoethyl)POSS (POSS-(Br)16) and aminopropylisobutyl POSS (ap-POSS) initiating methylmethacrylate (MMA) and dodecafluoroheptylmethacrylate (DFHM). In THF solution, both diblock copolymers could self-assemble into 200 nm core/shell micelles with a POSS/PDFHM core and 70–80 nm PMMA shell. These micelles are able to produce typical films with a fluorine-rich top-surface and POSS-gathered sub-surface. Although PDFHM segments and POSS cages are competitively migrating onto the film surface, the migration of the PDFHM segments is actually improved by the POSS cages. Comparatively, the surface of the ap-POSS–PMMA-b-PDFHM film is much more rough and fluorine-rich than the s-POSS–(PMMA-b-PDFHM)16 film, therefore, the ap-POSS–PMMA-b-PDFHM film has higher viscoelasticity and higher oleophobicity, but a little lower hydrophobicity than the s-POSS–(PMMA-b-PDFHM)16 film. The hydrophobic application of both linear- and star-shaped topologies to glass, cotton fabric and stone substrates reveals that the treated samples exhibit superhydrophobicity for the cotton fabric (>150°) and obvious hydrophobicity for the stone and glass (>135°) in terms of resistance to water and other liquids like coffee, milk, coke and green tea. It is believed that the properties of self-assembled films and the hydrophobic applications are related closely to the topologies of block copolymers.

Developing cost-effective ruthenium (Ru)-based HER electrocatalysts as alternatives to commercial Pt/C is crucial for the advancement of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, the strong hydrogen adsorption of Ru-based catalysts restricts its activity. Herein, a strategy is reported to tune the electronic structure and improve mass transfer by implanting Ru atoms onto the (002) facet of two-dimensional zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (Ru@ L ZIF (002) ) to optimize the d -band center ( ε d ) of Ru and the hydrogen spillover behavior. Benefiting from the ultrathin nanosheet structure and optimized ε d of Ru, the over-strong H adsorption energy is weakened and the electron/mass transfer is facilitated. Ru@ L ZIF (002) exhibits an overpotential of 9.2 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a long-lasting stability of 35 days at 100 mA cm −2 . The mass activity and price activity of Ru@ L ZIF (002) is 2.9 and 14.7 times higher than Pt/C, respectively. More impressively, Ru@ L ZIF (002) delivers a cell voltage of 2.01 V at a high current density of 4 A cm −2 in PEMWE. The excellent long-term durability of 1200 hours operating at 4 A cm −2 with an ultralow decay rate of 7.5 × 10 −3 mV h −1 has been achieved, making it promising as a cost-effective alternative to Pt/C catalyst for PEMWE applications.

Many soft coiled actuators are mimic the desirable structures of plant tendril. Here, we present a facile microfluidic spinning method to fabricate self-coiling Janus microfiber actuator with tunable morphology, spontaneous coiling performance and reversible traction property. By adjusting the component of hydrogel Janus fiber in a microfluidic spinning device with theta-shaped channels, tens of hundreds of homogeneous coils can be spontaneously and rapidly generated due to asymmetric contraction upon dehydration process, and three different forms of coiled fibers with various screw diameters are presented. Furthermore, the coiled Janus microfiber with hygroscopic properties possesses a reversible coiling/uncoiling performance under humidity gradients, which can serve as a micro-actuator to lift a certain weight with enough tensile strain and long-range tractive displacement. In addition, local reversible coiling/uncoiling morphing is achieved under water contact and near infrared light optothermal stimulations. As a verification of this coiled microfiber actuator, a smart switch is designed to control different colored LED lights for sensing an ambient moisture content.
