A fluorometric method is described for the determination of mucin 1 (MUC1). It is based on the specific binding of MUC1 by anti-MUC1 aptamers and by exploiting the inner filter effect (IFE) exerted by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the blue fluorescence of carbon dots (CDs). When CDs are mixed with AuNPs, their fluorescence is reduced due to an IFE. The IFE efficiency can be modulated by the adsorption and the aggregation state of AuNPs. The latter can be induced by addition of salt, thereby allowing the fluorescence of the CDs to recover. The aptamer is adsorbed on the AuNPs and protects the AuNPs from salt-induced aggregation which is accompanied by a color change from red to blue. If aptamer is added to a mixture of CDs and AuNPs in presence of salt, the aggregation of the AuNPs is inhibited. Thus, the blue fluorescence of the CDs (best measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 365/448 nm) is reduced. If, however, the aptamers bind MUC1, the aptamers will be released from the surface of the AuNPs. This decreases the salt tolerance of AuNPs and leads to the recovery of the blue fluorescence. The fluorescence intensity increases with the concentration of MUC1. The method has a linear response in the 5.3 to 200 ng·mL −1 MUC1 concentration range and a lower detection limit of 5.3 ng·mL −1 . The method displays excellent selectivity towards MUC1 against other proteins.
Schematic illustration of (I) the influence of IFE of free AuNPs and NaCl aggregated AuNPs and (II) the influence of specific interaction between MUC1 and aptamers on the NaCl-induced aggregation of AuNPs and the IFE efficiency.

Herein, a novel approach for generating a microencapsulated reversible thermochromic phase change material (RTPCM) is described. The system described uses a spirolactone derivative color former, phenolic hydroxyl compound color developer, and 1-hexadecanol as the phase change material and co-solvent. The microencapsulation is achieved by complex coacervation of modified gelatin containing vinyl groups and gum arabic. This is followed by the crosslinking reaction between vinyl groups on modified gelatin and a divinyl crosslinker and subsequent crosslinking reaction with glutaraldehyde to improve stability and encapsulation efficiency. The influence of various key parameters on properties of the microcapsules (encapsulation efficiency, morphology, and particle size) are reviewed including the substitution degree of vinyl groups on modified gelatin, the type and amount of divinyl crosslinkers, and the core/shell ratio. Thermal properties and reversible color reliability of the generated microcapsules were found to be stable after 100 thermal heating and cooling cycles. Such microcapsules are well suited for latent heat storage and as an indicator for the states of energy saturation and consumption in phase change material applications directly through color change.

The kinetic studies of hydroformylation of 1-butene to produce pentanal were investigated by using Rh/PPh 3 complex as homogeneous catalyst, valeraldehyde and its polycondensates as solvent. The experiment was carried out on small hydroformylation continuous reaction installation. The effects of reaction temperature, the concentration of 1-butene, the partial pressure of CO or H 2 and the concentration of rhodium of catalyst on the reaction rate were studied. Based on the reaction mechanism of hydroformylation and the latest research results of hydroformylation kinetics, the kinetic equation suitable for the hydroformylation of 1-butene was established. The parameters of the kinetic equation were regressed and verified with the experimental data. The relationship between the normal/isomeric ratio of pentanal and the partial pressure of CO was further explored.

In this work, a colorimetric aptasensor based on magnetic beads (MBs), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) was prepared for the detection of mucin 1 (MUC1). Complementary DNA of the MUC1 aptamer (Apt) immobilized on the MBs was combined with the prepared AuNPs-Apt-HRP complex (AuNPs@Apt-HRP). In the presence of MUC1, it specifically bound to Apt, resulting in the detachment of gold nanoparticles from the MBs. After magnetic separation, AuNPs@Apt-HRP was separated into the supernatant and reacted with 3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce color reaction from colorless to blue. The linear range of MUC1 was from 75 to 500 μg/mL (R 2 = 0.9878), and the detection limit was 41.95 μg/mL. The recovery rate of MUC1 in human serum was 99.18 %∼101.15 %. This method is simple and convenient. Moreover, it does not require complex and expensive equipment for detection of MUC1. It provides value for the development of MUC1 colorimetric sensors and a promising strategy for the determination of MUC1 in clinical diagnosis.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a class of hazardous pollutants, are difficult to dissipate in the natural environment. In this study, a cyanobacterial strain Anabaena PD-1 showed good resistance against PCB congeners. Compared to a control group, chlorophyll a content decreased 3.7% and 11.7% when Anabaena PD-1 was exposed to 2 and 5 mg/L PCBs for 7 d. This cyanobacterial strain was capable of decomposing PCB congeners which was conclusively proved by determination of chloride ion concentrations in chlorine-free medium. After 7 d, the chloride ion concentrations in PCB-treated groups (1, 2, 5 mg/L) were 3.55, 3.05, and 2.25 mg/L, respectively. The genetic information of strain PD-1 was obtained through 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA of Anabaena PD-1 was KF201693.1. Phylogenetic tree analysis clearly indicated that Anabaena PD-1 belonged to the genus Anabaena . The degradation half-life of Aroclor 1254 by Anabaena PD-1 was 11.36 d; the total degradation rate for Aroclor 1254 was 84.4% after 25 d. Less chlorinated PCB congeners were more likely to be degraded by Anabaena PD-1 in comparison with highly chlorinated congeners. Meta - and para -chlorines in trichlorodiphenyls and tetrachlorobiphenyls were more susceptible to dechlorination than ortho -chlorines during the PCB-degradation process by Anabaena PD-1. Furthermore, Anabaena PD-1 can decompose dioxin-like PCBs. The percent biodegradation of 12 dioxin-like PCBs by strain PD-1 ranged from 37.4% to 68.4% after 25 days. Results above demonstrate that Anabaena PD-1 is a PCB-degrader with great potential for the in situ bioremediation of PCB-contaminated paddy soils.

An energy-efficient catalytic system for the one-pot production of 1-octanol from biomass-derived furfural-acetone (FFA) under mild conditions in water was developed, by sequential hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis over a hydrophilic Pd/NbOPO4 catalyst. A strategy of creating an intentional “phase problem” has been employed to prevent the over-hydrogenolysis of 1-octanol into n-octane and therefore increased the selectivity to 1-octanol. The effects of reaction conditions as well as a variety of noble-metal loaded bifunctional catalysts have been systematically investigated to maximize the yield of 1-octanol. Moreover, the addition of liquid acids to the catalytic system further enhanced the selectivity towards the formation of 1-octanol. There is a strong correlation between the acid strength of an acidic additive and the sum yield of 1-octanol and octane. With the addition of TfOH, the highest yield of 1-octanol (62.7%) was obtained from one-pot conversion of biomass-derived FFA over Pd/NbOPO4.

The performance of two hydrophobic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, MAF-6 and TIF-1 Zn, in adsorptive separation of 1-butanol from acetone–butanol–ethanol model fermentation broth was studied and compared to the data reported for ZIF-8. It was found that, in single-component systems, the adsorption capacities of ZIF-8 and MAF-6 were larger than that of TIF-1 Zn, mainly because of their larger pore volume; however, the time necessary to reach equilibrium was shorter when TIF-1 Zn with a larger pore aperture was used. In breakthrough experiments, it was shown that the adsorptive separation mechanism on ZIF-8 and MAF-6 was based on combined thermodynamics and kinetic effects; on TIF-1 Zn, thermodynamic adsorption took place.

PAN-based carbon fibers (CF) were functionalized with generation ( n ) 1–3 dendritic hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) (denoted as CF-G n -HMTA, n = 1, 2 and 3) in an attempt to improve the interfacial properties between carbon fibers and epoxy matrix. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), dynamic contact angle analysis (DCA), interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and single fiber tensile testing were carried out to investigate the functionalization process of carbon fibers and the interfacial properties of the composites. Experimental results showed that generation ( n ) 1–3 dendritic hexamethylenetetramine was grafted uniformly on the fiber surface through the chemical reaction, and then it increased significantly the fiber surface polarity and roughness. The surface energy and IFSS of carbon fibers increased obviously after the graft CF-G 3 -HMTA, by 147.6% and 81%, respectively. Generation ( n ) 1–3 dendritic hexamethylenetetramine enhanced effectively the interfacial adhesion of the composites by improving resin wettability, increasing chemical bonding and mechanical interlocking, and the interfacial adhesion increased with dendritic generation number. Moreover, the grafting of generation ( n ) 1–3 dendritic hexamethylenetetramine on the carbon fiber surface improved the fiber tensile strength, which is beneficial to the in-plane properties of the resulting composites.

Hierarchical tin disulfide (SnS 2 ) micro/nanostructures, assembled from ultrathin nanosheets with {0 0 1} facets exposed, were successfully synthesized via an l -glutatione-assisted approach. The prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy , infrared spectra and UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy . The characterized results showed that these hexagonal berndtite SnS 2 nanosheets selectively exposed {0 0 1} facets as the main external surfaces, and the percentage of these facets was nearly 95%. Even under visible light ( λ > 420 nm), the products showed superior photocatalytic activity for the degradation of dye (methyl orange) and the reduction of aqueous Cr (VI). The enhanced photocatalytic properties can be attributed to the two-dimensional sheet-like nanostructure, which has a larger specific surface area and could enhance the efficiency of the electron–hole separation. The formation mechanism of the hierarchical SnS 2 micro/nanostructures and its relationship with photocatalytic properties were also proposed. The result demonstrates that these hierarchical SnS 2 micro/nanostructures have promising applications in the solar-energy conversion process.

Powders of (Nd 1− x Ce x ) 2 Zr 2 O 7+ y ( x = 0–1) with pyrochlore structure were prepared by sol-spray pyrolysis and subsequent graphite reduction at 1200 °C. The effects of cerium content on crystal structure, phase stability and microstructure of the (Nd 1− x Ce x ) 2 Zr 2 O 7+ y ( x = 0–1) inert matrix materials were studied. XRD and Raman results presented that all samples were in a single pyrochlore phase. XPS results indicated the cerium was in a single oxidation state of +4. After sintering at 1500 °C for 24 h in air, the sample of x = 1 underwent a phase segregation to Zr 1− x Ce x O 2 solid solutions of tetragonal, metastable tetragonal and cubic phases, the sample of x = 0.9 contained a few tetragonal phase in addition to fluorite phase, the samples of x = 0.5–0.8 had a single phase fluorite structure, the samples of x = 0–0.4 maintained the pyrochlore structure.

A polysaccharide-based polymer (abbrev., SMP) was prepared via the crosslinking of starch with 4,4-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate and employed as an adsorbent for selective separation of acetophenone (AP) and 1-phenylethanol (PE) which coexist extensively in petrochemical by-products and effluents. The successful crosslinking was proved by FTIR and XPS, and the rough morphology as well as porous structure was also demonstrated in XRD, SEM and N 2 adsorption-desorption analysis. Using SMP as adsorbent, the adsorption kinetics and isotherms were both investigated in single-component system. Both kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption process were obtained. Further thermodynamic investigation indicated that the adsorption was exothermic and spontaneous. Compared to the starch-based polymers whose frameworks contain no phenyl ring, SMP exhibits both higher selectivity and capacity for AP in the competitive adsorption. Additionally, increasing the level of crosslinking in SMP favors its adsorption performance. Furthermore, continuous adsorption-desorption indicated high separation ability and regeneration efficiency of SMP. Finally, the mechanism studies suggested that the adsorption mechanisms may be physisorption involving noncovalent interactions, permitting preference to AP over PE.

Immobilization of a ligand that selectively interacts with cancer cells to nanomaterials can enhance their diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency. In this study, we firstly demonstrate the high expression of receptor for cyclic nine-amino acid peptide LyP-1 (Cys-Gly-Asn-Lys-Arg-Thr-Arg-Gly-Cys) in both mouse and human pancreatic cancer. Based on these findings, sub-50 nm multifunctional superparamagnetic mesoporous nanospheres with surface modified with LyP-1 are rationally designed. Theses nanospheres have a core of silica-protected magnetite nanoparticle and a shell of FITC-labeled mesoporous silica , and they are able to specifically recognize and conjugate with the pancreatic cancer cell in vitro, as verified by the combined techniques of fluorescent imaging and T2 weight magnetic resonance imaging. After systematic administration, these LyP-1 immobilized nanospheres are found to actively target to mouse orthotopic xenograft of pancreatic cancer, which opens up the door for applications in early probing and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer by the multimodal imaging.
