In the oil/water emulsion treatment field, the separation of dispersed tiny oil droplets and the removal of surfactants are both significant in order to obtain purified water. Superwetting materials have proved to be an ideal solution for stabilized emulsion separation. However, most of the previous studies only focus on the separation of oil from water while neglecting the removal of surfactants. With the purpose of realizing in situ emulsion separation and surfactant removal, a dual functional Janus membrane is designed inspired by mussel-inspired chemistry and an EDC/NHS coupling reaction. After modification, abundant amino groups and carboxyl groups are decorated on two sides of the microfiltration membrane substrate, respectively (denoted as the –NH2 side and –COOH side). Combining special wettability with electrostatic interaction, the as-prepared membrane is able to separate stabilized oil-in-water emulsions and remove anionic/cationic surfactants simultaneously. The –NH2 side is used for the treatment of anionic emulsions with the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), while the –COOH side is used for the treatment of cationic emulsions with the surfactant hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). More importantly, the separation efficiencies are all above 99.5% and the surfactant removal efficiencies are up to 95.7%. To our knowledge, this is the first time to treat both dispersed oil droplets and surfactants using superwetting materials. The excellent recyclability and stability of the Janus material make it a potential candidate for application in the industrial field.

Separation of monosaccharides and monovalent salts is important in the biorefinery and food industry. Nanofiltration (NF) technology is promising for this purpose but its poor selectivity still needs to be addressed. In this work, the separation of monosaccharides and monovalent salts by NF is improved by regulating the surface charge and pore size distribution of polyamide NF membranes. The carboxyl groups on the polyamide membrane are selectively activated by N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethyl carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxy succinimide (NHS), and subsequently molecules with amino groups are grafted on the membrane to reduce the effective pore size and electronegativity. The conditions and grafted molecules are optimized, and polyethyleneimine (600 Da) is selected as the best for enhancing the separation of glucose/fructose and KCl. Such targeted modification is found to reduce the effective mean pore size while maintaining the porosity of the NF270 membrane, due to pore segmentation. This results in a remarkable improvement in glucose/fructose rejection (from 67.96% to 84.14%) and separation factor (from 2.20 to 6.78), with only a 4.70% permeability loss. The modified membrane also maintains separation performance in crossflow filtration and after alkaline cleaning (pH 12), which outperforms the pristine NF270 and those modified by mussel-inspired coating and simple physical adsorption.

Nile tilapia skin collagen sponges were fabricated by freeze-drying technology and modified with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide in the presence of N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS), genipin + PBS, genipin + ethanol, tea polyphenol (TP), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and diphenyl phosphoryl azide (DPPA). Physicochemical and biological properties, micromorphology and compatibility before and after modification were investigated to evaluate collagen sponge as a hemostatic biomedical material. The mechanical property of collagen sponges strengthened after cross-linking. The elongation at break of cross-linked collagen sponges decreased except for EDC/NHS, which was close to that of non-crosslinked. The collagen sponge cross-linked with EDC/NHS exhibited the highest hygroscopicity in comparison with other cross-linkers. The resistance to collagenase biodegradation of collagen sponges after cross-linking strengthened significantly except for NDGA. Collagen sponges cross-linked with EDC/NHS, TP and NDGA maintained high porosity (97–98%), similar to non-crosslinked (98.42%). Collagen sponges could shorten the blood coagulation time. From the variations of the FTIR spectrum pattern and SEM, DPPA could change the secondary structure of collagen and destroy the spongy structure of collagen sponge, which was not suitable for the cross-linking of collagen sponge. Whereas, EDC/NHS was recognized as a perfect cross-linker owing to its excellent properties and porous microstructure. All fabricated collagen sponges were recognized to be biocompatible by the hemolysis assay in vitro . Therefore, collagen sponge modified with EDC/NHS could be used as a perfect biomedical hemostatic material.

A facile approach has been developed to synthesize Fe 3 O 4 @PAM (polyacrylamide) nanoparticles (NPs) with carboxyl groups on the surfaces by copolymerization with acrylamide and acrylic acid in Fe 3 O 4 NPs aqueous suspension. Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) was conjugated to the magnetic NPs via well-known carboniimide chemistry using EDC and NHS. The Ni 2+ ions loaded on the surface of NPs provide abundant docking sites for immobilization of His-tagged green fluorescent proteins (His-tagged GFP). The high magnetic property of Fe 3 O 4 @PAM@NTA-Ni 2+ allows an easy separation of the NPs from solution under an external magnetic field, with high His-tagged protein binding capacity (42 μg protein/mg of NPs). The NPs can be recycled for at least four times without significant loss of binding capacity to proteins. These materials show great potential to separate His-tagged protein with low-cost purification at industrial scale.

Nonspecific adsorption (NSA) seems to be an impregnable obstacle to the progress of the biomedical, diagnostic, microelectronic, and material fields. The reaction path of bioconjugation can alter the surface charge distribution on products and the interaction of bioconjugates, an ignored factor causing NSA. We monitored exacerbated NSA introduced by a 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) carbodiimide (EDC) addition reaction, which cannot be resistant to bovine serum albumin (BSA) or polyethylene glycol (PEG) antifouling coating and Tween-20. And the negative effects can be minimized by adding as low as 7.5 × 10–6 M N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS). We applied ordered porous layer interferometry (OPLI) to sensitively evaluate the NSA that is difficult to measure on individual particles. Using the silica colloidal crystal (SCC) film with Fabry–Perot fringes as in situ and real-time monitoring for the NSA, we optimized the surface chemistry to yield a conjugate surface without variational charge distribution. In this work, we propose a novel approach from the perspective of the reaction pathway to minimize the NSA of solely EDC-induced chemistry.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a typical endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), which has been banned for food packing and baby bottle material due to its potential endocrine harm to human body. In this paper, an easy and rapid immunochromatographic assay (ICA) combined with the technology of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was fabricated to improve the sensitivity and rapidity for quantitative determination of BPA. After 10 min of a quick chromatographic process, the specific Raman signal on T line of the test strip was measured. Compared with the traditional ICA, the SERS-ICA realized quantitative test and showed the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.1 ng/mL, getting approximately 300-fold lower. The method displayed high specificity and precision with RSD of 4.1%, and the test strip indicated favorable stability for two weeks without loss of activity. For river, tap and commercial drinking water sample, the SERS-ICA results were confirmed by HPLC, and the recoveries of spiked BPA were from 90.80-117.80%. It was shown that the proposed method takes advantages both of SERS and ICA, exhibiting high sensitivity, precision, stability, quantification and rapidity for field test, expecting a widely useful method for various small molecules in food safety, medical diagnosis and environmental samples.

The capture of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis, personalized treatment and postoperative evaluation of malignant tumors. In this study, UV-curable coating technology was combined with antibody immobilization to enable CTC captures on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates. Controlled amounts of carboxyl groups and polyethylene glycol (PEG) segments were introduced into the coating formulation to facilitate immobilization of antibodies and block non-specific protein adsorption, respectively. Then, anti-EpCAM antibodies were immobilized on functionalized, coated PMMA substrates by EDC/NHS chemistry. Multiple physical, chemical and biological properties were investigated, including hydrophilicity, protein adsorption, platelet adhesion and anticoagulant properties. Thereafter, optimized coatings were applied on the inner wall of PMMA tubes, followed by immobilization of anti-EpCAM antibodies. After perfusion of the tubes with whole blood, enriched with SGC7901 gastric cancer cells that overexpress EpCAM antigens, rapid and efficient capture of the tumor cells was observed. These results provide a basis for further development of devices for the selective capture and enrichment of CTCs, using small blood volumes.

Cationic gelatin nanoparticles ((+)nGNPs) were prepared by in situ polymerization upon the surfaces of monodispersed gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) using N-(3-Aminopropyl)methacrylamide (APm) as monomer, which were then decorated with doxorubicin terminated poly(2-methylacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (DOX-pMPC) via EDC/NHS conjugation to obtain core–shell nanoparticles ((+)nGNPs@DOX-pMPC) for cancer therapy. The non-fouling pMPC shell could effectively shield the positively charged surface of inner nanoparticle and prevent non-specific protein adsorption, thus endowing the materials with potential for long-acting cancer treatment. Furthermore, the acyl hydrazone bond connecting DOX and pMPC chain could be easily hydrolyzed in the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment. After decladding of the pMPC shell, electropositive (+)nGNPs carrying the drugs can be effectively internalized by cancer cells to induce apoptosis, avoiding undesirable hindrance caused by the superhydrophilic outer layer. On combining the above properties, this drug delivery system can be a promising candidate for long-acting, low-toxicity and high-efficiency cancer therapy.

Massive bleeding from deep penetrating wounds and bacterial infections are serious challenges for clinical and outdoor wound management. In this study, different molar ratios of chitosan (CS) and dopamine (DA) were covalently combined with sodium alginate (SA) through EDC/NHS to form complexes. Then, the cross-linking reaction was performed to form a sponge by adding sodium periodate. The CS 3 /SA/DA 1 compress sponge has rapid blood-triggered recovery properties that can quickly expand to block wounds and prevent bleeding. The CS 3 /SA/DA 1 has better coagulation ability than commercial gelatin sponges and gauze in a mouse liver injury/leg vein model and lethal incompressible hemorrhage model of a rabbit liver defect. The outstanding advantages of CS 3 /SA/DA 1 in degradation performance , antibacterial properties , antioxidation, hemocompatibility , cytocompatibility and histocompatibility present great application prospects in incompressible wound hemostasis.
