Novel task-specific ionic liquids derived from (S)-phenyl amino acid were prepared as a chiral sensor for the first time. It was found that the ionic liquids exhibited different chiral visual responses to the enantiomers . When (S)-tryptophan was treated with the sensor and Cu(II) in water, the clear solution would change to a sapphire suspension. Differently, another enantiomer could not produce the precipitate. Furthermore, the enantiomers could generate different colors in DMSO under the same conditions. The substantial difference contributes to the easy discrimination with visual determination. Four racemates were successfully tested with this strategy. The precipitation was isolated in the range of 90–94% yields after complete formation of the coordinative bonds, which could be as a simple way for enantioseparation. The responsive mechanism of the sensor was studied by NMR spectroscopy , FTIR and SEM . UV-vis spectrophotometer was used to monitor the colorimetric signal of the racemate with different e.e. values.

A series of amphiphilic PDMAEMA–SS–PCL chains with variable ratios of hydrophilic poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) to hydrophobic poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) were prepared via ring-opening polymerization, in which the two different moieties were linked via a disulfide bond with reduction responsiveness. After cross-linking by the photodegradable o-nitrobenzyl linkage, the amphiphilic chains could self-assemble into microspheres, branched cylindrical micelles and vesicles, which were responsive to the reduction agent DL-dithiothreitol and UV light irradiation through different mechanisms.

The intellectualization and complication of existing self-shaping materials are limited by the inseparable monotonic relationship between their deformation rate and deformation degree (i.e., a higher deformation rate is accompanied by a high deformation degree). This causes that they can only deform from 2D to 3D states. Here, a simple yet versatile strategy to decouple the monotonic correlation between the deformation rate and deformation degree of self-shaping hydrogels is presented for achieving complex deformations from 2D to temporary 3D to 3D (2D-to-4D). It is demonstrated that when the gradient hydrogels prepared by photopolymerization possess dense polymer networks, the local regions with a high deformation rate can exhibit a low deformation degree. The resulting hydrogels can thus deform in a novel 2D-to-4D mode under external stimuli. During the deformation, they first transform into the temporary shapes induced by the local deformation rate difference, and then transform into the final shapes determined by the local deformation degree difference. Through controlling the ultraviolet irradiation direction and time to precisely program the local gradients of self-shaping hydrogels, they can be designed to produce various unprecedented yet controllable 2D-to-4D shape evolutions on demand, such as transformable origami, sequential gesture actions in finger-guessing games, mobile octopuses, time switch, etc.

In this work, a novel epoxy monomer denoted as 3,5′-di-t-butyl-5,3′-dimethyl biphenyl diglycidyl ether (t-BuMBPDGE) was synthesized and applied into in situ composites with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4,4′-biphenyl diglycidyl ether (TMBPDGE), accompanied with curing agent aromatic amines. The liquid crystalline phase structure and the crosslink density of substituted biphenyl epoxies were determined by polarized optical microscopy, wide angle X-ray diffraction measurements and dynamic storage moduli data. The samples showed good mechanical properties and could recover quickly from a second state to their initial states with a shape fixity ratio higher than 98% and shape recovery ratio higher than 99%, owing to the oriented structure and increased crosslink network density caused by the orientation of biphenyl mesogenic. The high glass transition temperatures ranging from 160 to 178 °C and good water resistance could contribute to a stable fixed shape. The water resistance is analyzed by contact angles test. The samples exhibited contact angles of 92–98 degrees, which indicated that the water resistance was apparently better than that of conventional epoxy systems.

A series of pH-temperature dual stimuli-responsive random copolymers poly[ N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate- co -poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate][poly(DMAEMA- co -MPEGMA)] were synthesized by free radical polymerization. The supramolecular hydrogel was formed by pseudopolyrotaxane, which was prepared with the host-guest interactions between α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chains. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the structures of the hydrogels. The pH-temperature dual stimuli responsive properties of the hydrogels were characterized by rheometer. Finally, the controllable drug release behavior of the hydrogel, which was used 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) as the model drug, was investigated at different temperatures and different pH values. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Currently, the major challenge for cancer treatment is to develop simple and smart nanocarriers that can efficiently retain the encapsulated drug during blood circulation, recognize tumor cells and quickly release the drug under stimulation. In this paper, such a pH-sensitive core–shell composite nanoparticles is prepared based on a 3-aminophenylboronic acid modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN–APBA) core coated with a lactobionic acid grafted chitosan (CS–LA) shell via boronate ester bonds. The MSN core increases drug loading capacity and stability, and lactobionic acid offers abundant diols which can form pH sensitive boronate ester bonds with APBA on MSN. Meanwhile, the lactobionic acid-conjugated shell could also efficiently target the asialoglycoprotein receptor over expressing hepatoma cells. The successful synthesis of CS–LA and MSN–APBA is confirmed by the results of TGA, TEM, DLS, FT-IR, 1H-NMR and N2 adsorption–desorption. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) is applied as a model drug and the behaviors of drug loading/release are investigated. The drug loading behavior is pH-dependent, and its drug encapsulation efficiency is near 80% and loading capacity is 13.05%. The results of cumulative in vitro release indicate that at neutral pH, the pores of the MSN are effectively capped with a polymer shell and the drug release is strongly inhibited, almost zero release. While at acidic pH, the hydrolysis of the boroester bond takes place and thus results in a rapid release of the entrapped drug. The cytotoxicity assay indicates high cell biocompatibility of this material and it is suitable as a drug carrier. When loaded with DOX, it presents distinctly cytotoxic behavior to HepG2 cells, due to the sustained release of drug. These results imply that the core–shell nanoparticles are promising platforms to construct simple and effective pH-responsive controlled drug delivery systems for cancer therapy.

We try to synthesize In x Ga 1−x Sb nanowires on silicon (100) substrate using InSb and GaSb as source materials and we succeeded. Au film was used as catalysts. The experiment is simple and repeatable. The diameter of the grown nanowires is 60–200 nm and up to 10 microns in length. The grown nanowires have good crystallinity. Due to the doping of indium, we found that the XRD peaks of nanowires were shifted. We have fabricated fully nanostructured device using ultra-long Ag nanowires as electrodes for the I–V characteristic study, and found that the device has photoresponse characteristics and the I–V characteristic curve was asymmetric, we explain that it was due to the asymmetry of this fully nanostructured devices.

A series of environmental pH-responsive block copolymers PEG-polyurethane with tertiary amine groups in the main chain and free carboxyl groups in the side chain were synthesized, including poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), 1,4-bis (hydroxyethyl) piperazine, 1,6-diisocyanato hexamethylene, and 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid. The chemical structure, molecular weight, and pH-dependent capacity of pH-responsive PEG-polyurethane were examined by 1 H-NMR, FTIR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and an acid-base titration. Moreover, the fluorescent dye fluorescein isothiocyanate was conjugated with PEG-polyurethane by the similar polymerization method and the obtained polymer was measured by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and fluorescent spectroscopy. The results indicated that the pH-responsive PEG-polyurethane showed a pH-buffering phenomenon and fluorescent imaging in a range of pH values. As a result, we demonstrated its potential application for optical imaging; however, it is believed that more applications in the areas of biomedicine will be possible owing to its free carboxyl acid terminal residues in the stimuli-responsive polymer. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel double-hydrophilic block copolymer P(MEO 2 MA- co -OEGMA)- b -PAMA has been successfully synthesized by two-step RAFT polymerization. Then, the amino groups of PAMA blocks in the copolymers react with 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde via a “Schiff-base” reaction, and the resulting copolymers are self-assembled to form spherical micelles in aqueous solution. Because the “Schiff-base” linkage is pH sensitive, the release rate of pyrene depends upon the pH of solution. Complete release is achieved at pH 1, and the control release is much faster at pH 5.5 than that at pH 7.4. With progress of pyrene release, the micelles are disassembled gradually and disappeared completely at last. This double-hydrophilic copolymer is a promising candidate of drug carrier for the aldehyde- containing hydrophobic drugs.

In this study, red-emission graphene quantum dots (R-GQDs), with tunable emission wavelength , are synthesized and explored for applications in trace water sensing, white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) and information encryption . Systematic experiments and characterizations demonstrate that the as-fabricated R-GQDs possess homogeneous size, good crystallinity and high doping concentration of nitrogen and oxygen. Moreover, tunable multicolor light emissions of R-GQDs are demonstrated by simply adjusting the polarity of surrounding solvents. As a result, solid-state fluorescence films are successfully fabricated to construct a high-quality WLED, with the CIE (Commission International d′Eclairage) coordinates (0.352, 0.380) and color temperature of 5121 K. Besides, the water quenchable fluorescence of R-GQDs enables the fabrication of a trace water sensing platform, with the low detection limit of 0.034%. Finally, the potential of our prepared R-GQDs for the application in color visual information encryption is developed. This study may pave the way for the development of GQDs, especially in optically sensing, optoelectronics and anti-counterfeiting technology.

Transparent nanoceramics embedded with highly dense crystalline domains are promising for applications in missile guidance, infrared night vision, and laser and nuclear radiation detection. Unfortunately, current nanoceramics are strictly constrained by the stringent construction procedures such as super-high pressure and containerless processing. Here, a pressureless crystallization engineering strategy in glass for elaboration of transparent nanoceramics and fibers is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By intentional creation of a sharp contrast between nucleation and growth rates, the crystal growth rate during glass crystallization can be significantly suppressed. Importantly, this unique phase-transition habit enables the achievement of transparent nanoceramics and even smooth fibers with extremely tiny crystalline size (≈20 nm) and high crystallinity (≈97%) under atmospheric pressure. This allows the generation of an attractive nonlinear optical response such as dynamic optical filtering and luminescence in the mid-infrared waveband of 4300–4950 nm. These findings highlight that the strategy to switch the phase-transition habit of glass into the unconventional crystallization regime may provide new opportunities for the creation of next-generation nanoceramics and fibers.

5-Fluorouracil surface-imprinted thermosensitive magnetic microspheres were prepared by using Fe 3 O 4 -encapsulating carbon microspheres as cores, N -isopropylacrylamide as thermosentitive monomer, ammonium persulfate as initiator, N , N ′-methylenebisacrylamide as crosslinker, and 5-fluorouracil as template molecule. The formation of these hybrid microspheres was verified by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and dynamic light scattering. The results of the latter measurements show that the as-synthesized microspheres have a hydrodynamic diameter of 326 nm with the lower critical solution temperature of around 43 °C. The obtained microspheres are magnetic and show good potential for controlled loading and release of 5-fluorouracil. Graphical abstract
