The aim of this study was to build up a novel chiral mesoporous silica called PEIs@TA-CMS through a facile biomimetic strategy and to explore its potential to serve as a drug carrier for improving the delivery efficiency of poorly water-soluble drug. PEIs@TA-CMS was synthesized by using a chiral crystalline complex associated of tartaric acid and polyethyleneimine (PEIs) as templates, scaffolds and catalysts. The structural features including morphology, size, pore structure and texture properties were systematacially studied. The results showed that PEIs@TA-CMS was monodispersed spherical nanoparticles in a uniformed diameter of 120–130 nm with well-developed pore structure (SBET: 1009.94 m2/g, pore size <2.21 nm). Then PEIs@TA-CMS was employed as nimodipine (NMP) carrier and compared with the drug carry ability of MCM41. After drug loading, NMP was effectively transformed from the crystalline state to an amorphous state due to the space confinement in mesopores. As expected, PEIs@TA-CMS had superiority in both drug loading and drug release compared to MCM41. It could incorporate NMP with high efficiency, and the dissolution-promoting effect of PEIs@TA-CMS was more obvious because of the unique interconnected curved pore channels. Meanwhile, PEIs@TA-CMS could significantly improve the oral adsorption of NMP to a satisfactory level, which showed approximately 3.26-fold higher in bioavailability, and could effectively prolong the survival time of mice on cerebral anoxia from 10.98 to 17.33 min.

In this work, COF-LZU1@PEI@Fe3O4 was synthesized by immobilization of COF-LZU1 onto the surface of polyethyleneimine-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles (PEI@Fe3O4) and employed as an adsorbent for magnetic dispersive micro-solid phase extraction of tetracyclines (TCs). COF-LZU1@PEI@Fe3O4 was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms analysis. The optimal extraction and desorption conditions were as follows: 15.00 mL sample solution (pH 7.0) extracted with 5.0 mg of adsorbent for 30 min at 30 °C, and then desorbed with 1.50 mL methanol/acetonitrile/0.02 mol L−1 oxalic acid solution (v/v, 1 : 2 : 7). Good linearities were obtained between the peak area and TC concentration ranging from 5–500 μg L−1 with correlation coefficients (R2) higher than 0.9992 and limits of detection lower than 0.51 μg L−1. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of intra-day and inter-day were less than 5.7% and 7.4%, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of TCs in environmental water samples with recoveries in the range of 87.0–113.8% and RSDs less than 5.1%, suggesting great potential of COF-LZU1@PEI@Fe3O4 for efficient extraction and analysis of trace TCs in water samples.

Highly efficient adsorbents, which can effectively remove both metal ions and dyes from wastewater with robust stability, are strongly required for the remediation of current polluted aqueous system, but still a challenge to be realized. Herein, a new adsorbent has been designed to solve this problem by anchoring diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) grafted polyethyleneimine (PEI) onto carboxylated GO (GOC-g-PD). Given the amino and carboxyl active groups from PEI and GOC/DTPA, our GOC-g-PD displays good adsorption capacity against not only inorganic metal ions (Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ ) but also organic dye (methylene blue: MB). The maximum adsorption capacity of GOC-g-PD for Cu 2+ , Pb 2+ and MB reached 309.60 mg·g −1 , 316.17 mg·g −1 and 262.10 mg·g −1 , respectively. Furthermore, our GOC-g-PD also exhibits good cycling stability and chemical stability against wide pH values. These outstanding properties revealed our GOC-g-PD held great potential in purifying the sewage discharged from industries. Graphical abstract

Typical symptoms of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute aortic dissection (AAD) are similar chest pain, leading to higher clinical misdiagnosis rate, evenly the mortality rate of patients. In this work, ZrO 2 @PEI-QDs nanospheres with higher fluorescence were prepared by sequential electrostatic adsorption of branched PEI chains and CdSe/ZnS-COOH QDs on hollow ZrO 2 nanospheres. Three multi-channel LFIA strips (on sST2 and cTnI, cTnI and h-FABP, HMGB1 and sST2, respectively) based on ZrO 2 @PEI-QDs for rapid and correct distinguishing of AMI and ADD were constructed. Their visual limit of detection (vLOD for sST2 and cTnI, cTnI and h-FABP, HMGB1 and sST2) within 10–15 min reached 0.075 and 0.1 ng/mL, 0.1 and 1 ng/mL, 1 and 0.1 ng/mL, respectively, which were all lower than the normal level of healthy people. Compared with previous studies, ZrO 2 surface adsorbs more QDs, the fluorescence intensity was increased by about 2.84 times, and vLODs of three strips based on the quantitative fluorescence analysis were also increased by up to one orders of magnitude. The test results of five clinical serum samples indicated that three multi-channel LFIA strips could quantitatively detect four biomarkers of chest pain, and successfully distinguish AMI patients from AAD patients. These results indicated that this set of multi-channel LFIA strips could become an effective tool for the early and accurate detection or distinguish of ADD and AMI.

Tight ultra-filtration (TUF) membranes were constructed by in situ growing zinc imidazole frameworks micro-crystalline leaves (ZIF-L) in polyethylene imine (PEI) and polydopamine (PDA) deposit layers on porous polyethylene (PE) substrates. The effects of preparation conditions on the surface physical and chemical structures as well as on the dye/salt separation performance of the formed TUF membranes were systematically investigated. By inserting selective water permeation channels and increasing contacting surface areas, in situ-grown ZIF-L arrays tightly cross-linked in the coating matrix greatly increased water permeation without trading off dye/salt retention selectivity. The morphology of the included ZIF-L particles could be varied by adjusting the ligand/Zn molar ratio (α) in the preparation processes. Optimized PDA-PEI/ZIF-L@PE TUF membranes containing ZIF-L of cross-cross block morphology showed very high pure water permeability of 180 ± 20 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 (LMHB) and retention selectivity (S CR/Na2SO4 and S MB/Na2SO4 ) of 267 and 43, respectively, as well as excellent stability and anti-fouling properties.

In view of the sustainable character and high-density of reactive sorption sites, a new kind of poly(ethylenimine)/chitosan (PEI/CS) aerogel beads were successfully synthesized using controllable sol–gel and freeze drying methods, with the aim of using them for efficient Cr(VI) removal from aqueous acid solutions. Compared with the reported CS-based sorbents for hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)], not only is the synthetic process used simple but the bead-like samples could be easily separated from solutions for recycling. Structural characterization and batch experiments were compared to illustrate the adsorption performance of the aerogel beads which were synthesized using various processes. Out of the three samples (CS–glutaraldehyde (GA), CS–GA–PEI and CS/PEI–GA beads), the one referred to as CS–GA–PEI exhibited the highest adsorption capacity and the maximum amount of Cr(VI) removal was 402.9 mg g−1 at pH 2.0 and 298 K. The pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model preferably fitted the adsorption process best. After five cycles of desorption–regeneration tests, more than 80% of Cr(VI) could still be removed by these newly designed CS–GA–PEI beads. Adsorption mechanisms could be explained using electrostatic attraction and reduction reaction theories, on the basis of comprehensive analysis. More importantly, taking advantage of the micrometer sized particles and three-dimensional network that developed, fixed-bed column tests were also conducted on the resultant bead-like sample, which also exhibited excellent sorption performance under testing conditions. These superiorities of CS–GA–PEI beads make them a potential candidate for use in remediating the pollution caused by Cr(VI) ions.

Tunable gating graphene oxide (GO) membranes with high water permeance and precise molecular separation remain highly desired in smart nanofiltration devices. Herein, bioinspired by the filtration function of the renal glomerulus, we report a smart and high-performance graphene oxide membrane constructed via introducing positively charged polyethylenimine-grafted GO (GO-PEI) to negatively charged GO nanosheets. It was found that the additional GO-PEI component changed the surface charge, improved the hydrophilicity, and enlarged the nanochannels. The glomerulus-inspired graphene oxide membrane (G-GOM) shows a water permeance up to 88.57 L m–2 h–1 bar–1, corresponding to a 4 times enhancement compared with that of a conventional GO membrane due to the enlarged confined nanochannels. Meanwhile, owing to the electrostatic interaction, it can selectively remove positively charged methylene blue at pH 12 and negatively charged methyl orange at pH 2, with a removal rate of over 96%. The high and cyclic water permeance and highly selective organic removal performance can be attributed to the synergic effect of controlled nanochannel size and tunable electrostatic interaction in responding to the environmental pH. This strategy provides insight into designing pH-responsive gating membranes with tunable selectivity, representing a great advancement in smart nanofiltration with a wide range of applications.

As a potential drug, antisense oligonucleotides (AO) have considerable application prospects in the field of tumor treatment. However, the main problem to be solved is the lack of an efficient and safe carrier that contributes to reaching the target cancer cells and utilizing the antitumor effect of AO. Here, we designed and developed a novel AO delivery system, which was based on a modified polyethylenimine (PEI) named TPGS-SS-PEI by connecting tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) to PEI through the disulfide bond (SS) and the biomimetic red blood cell membrane vesicles (RVs). R-TSP/AO was composed of an AO-loaded micelle (TSP/AO) as the “core” prepared by TPGS-SS-PEI, and RVs as the “shell”. The formulations and properties of R-TSP/AO were optimized and characterized. The mean particle size and zeta potential of R-TSP/AO were 109.7 nm and −24.10 mV, respectively. In vitro studies indicated that R-TSP/AO was sensitive to highly reducing conditions and exhibited excellent stability and high security. In addition, R-TSP showed higher AO transfection efficiency and excellent gene silencing efficiency compared with unmodified PEI (P < 0.001). R-TSP/AO exhibited potent tumor inhibition (55.65%) in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice without inducing systemic toxicity. These findings suggested that R-TSP/AO was safe and efficient in enhancing the antitumor efficacy and R-TSP had the potential to be further researched as a carrier for nucleic acid drugs delivery.

RNA interference (RNAi) therapy is a promising treatment for various diseases. However, its application is still restricted by the lack of efficient and safe delivery systems. A novel siRNA delivery vehicle based on ε-caprolactone-modified polyethylenimine (PEI-CL) is presented here. The PEI-CL macromolecules with different grafting degrees were synthesized via a simple ring-opening reaction. This macromolecule strongly protects the siRNA from degradation in serum and promotes the cellular uptake and endosomal escape detected via chemical exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance analysis and fluorescence imaging. The in vivo measurement was performed with HCT-116 colon tumor xenograft that stably expressed luciferase. The data showed that the PEI-CL/siRNA nanocomplexes elicited strong RNAi response. More interestingly, enhanced gene transfection efficiency was achieved by simultaneous cotransfection with siRNA and DNA plasmid via this novel nanosystem. Overall, our study suggests the PEI-CL macromolecule with great promise for siRNA delivery.

Simple wet chemical method was used to prepare Cu(OH) 2 nanowire-coated copper mesh (denoted as Cu(OH) 2 -CM). Following modification with phytic acid (PA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI), superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic copper mesh (denoted as Cu(OH) 2 /PA/PEI-CM) with excellent mechanical and chemical stability was obtained. The Cu(OH) 2 /PA/PEI-CM exhibited efficient separation for various oil/water mixtures. Importantly, Cu(OH) 2 /PA/PEI-CM shows superior anti-crude oil fouling properties. A 280-cycle test (with only four cleanings) using a 2 cm 2 Cu(OH) 2 /PA/PEI demonstrates a large separation capacity, long-term stability and self-cleaning performance of the mesh during the treatment of a 11.2 L crude oil/water mixture. These distinct advantages give the Cu(OH) 2 /PA/PEI-CM great potential for practical application in separating oil pollutants from water.

Carboxylated cardo poly(arylene ether ketone)s (PAEK-COOH) is a thermally stable and hydrophilic membrane fabrication material. Herein, PAEK-COOH was employed as membrane material, being dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and 1,4-dioxane (DO) mixed solvent and activated by adding 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) to prepare polymer casting solution . Then the activated polymer film was immersed into polyethylenimine (PEI) aqueous solution that served as coagulation bath for taking the one-step chemical reaction-involved phase inversion process. As illustrated by the SEM images, the fabricated crosslinked tight ultrafiltration membrane had a dense and integrally skinned separation skin layer. Chemical composition and hydrophilicity of membrane surface were studied by ATR-FTIR and water contact angle , respectively. Those results revealed that, via the in situ crosslinking of activated carboxylic acid group and PEI along with the phase inversion process, the PEI molecules had been covalently bonded onto membrane surface and resulted in the increase of membrane hydrophilicity. The optimized membrane had a molecular weight cut off (MWCO) of 12.7 kDa and an isoelectric point of 7.4, indicating which is slightly positively charged. The one-step chemical reaction involved phase inversion between reactive macromolecules, i.e., activated PAEK-COOH original polymer film and PEI crosslinker in coagulant, was an efficient and convenient approach for fabrication of highly permeable and selective tight ultrafiltration membranes. Membrane had a dye solution permeability of 80–84 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and Congo red (CR) rejection of 99.9% in 100 h long-term filtration testing, being capable for dye removal from textile wastewater .

In this paper, a novel adsorbent, Fe3O4@SiO2@PEI-NTDA, was first prepared by the immobilization of an amine and anhydride onto magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles with polyethylenimine (PEI) and 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic-dianhydride (NTDA) for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. The structure of Fe3O4@SiO2@PEI-NTDA was systematically investigated; the results confirmed that amine and anhydride groups were successfully covalently grafted onto the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2, which showed a homogenous core–shell structure with three layers of about 300 nm diameter (Fe3O4 core: 200 nm, nSiO2 layer: 20 nm, and PEI-NTDA layer: 20 nm). The adsorption performance of Fe3O4@SiO2@PEI-NTDA NPs was evaluated for single Pb2+ and coexisting Cd2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ ions in an aqueous solution in a batch system. The amine and anhydride groups may have a synergistic effect on Pb2+ removal through electrostatic interactions and chelation; Fe3O4@SiO2@PEI-NTDA NPs exhibited preferable removal of Pb2+ with maximum adsorption capacity of 285.3 mg g−1 for Pb2+ at a solution pH of 6.0, adsorbent dosage of 0.5 g L−1, initial Pb2+ concentration of 200 mg L−1 and contact time of 3 h. The adsorption mechanism conformed well to the Langmuir isotherm model, and the adsorption kinetic data were found to fit the pseudo-second order model. Fe3O4@SiO2@PEI-NTDA NPs could be recovered easily from their dispersion by an external magnetic field and demonstrated good recyclability and reusability for at least 6 cycles with a high adsorption capacity above 204.5 mg g−1. The magnetic adsorbents showed high stability with a weight loss below 0.65% in the acid leaching treatment by 2 M HCl solution for 144 h. This study indicates that Fe3O4@SiO2@PEI-NTDA NPs are new promising adsorbents for the effective removal of Pb2+ in wastewater treatment.
