Bisphenol S (BPS) is present in multitudinous consumer products and detected in both food and water. It also has been a main substitute for bisphenol A (BPA) in the food-packaging industry. Yet, the toxicity of BPS is not fully understood. The present study of the toxicity of BPS was divided into two parts. First, oxidative stress, cell viability, apoptosis level, and catalase (CAT) activity in mouse hepatocytes and renal cells were investigated after BPS exposure. After 12 h of incubation with BPS, all of these parameters of hepatocytes and renal cells changed by >15% as the concentration of BPS ranged from 0.1 to 1 mM. Second, the direct interaction between BPS and CAT on the molecule level was investigated by multiple spectral methods and molecular docking investigations. BPS changed the structure and the activity of CAT through binding to the Gly 117 residue on the substrate channel of the enzyme. The main binding forces were hydrogen bond and hydrophobic force.

Additional elements in the Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) absorber layers can play a crucial role in improving the performance of thin film solar cells. In this paper, a significant performance enhancement of CZTSSe thin film solar cells was achieved by the partial substitution of the Zn2+ cation with Cd2+. A small amount of Cd2+ can be successfully incorporated into the host lattice of CZTSSe to form a homogeneous Cu2Zn1–xCdxSn(S,Se)4 (CZCTSSe) alloy material. We demonstrated that the crystal growth and the band gap of CZCTSSe thin films are affected by the Cd doping level. Additionally, the impact of Cd content on the space-charge density (Nc-v) and the depletion width (Wd) of CZCTSSe solar cells was systematically investigated. By this cation substitution approach, the power conversion efficiency of the solar cells based on the CZCTSSe absorber was successfully increased from 5.41 to 8.11% for the optimal composition (x = 5%).

A series of novel quaternized fluorene-containing poly(arylene ether sulfone)s (APESs) were synthesized. Bromination rather than chloromethylation was used for the conversion of –CH 3 to reactive –CH 2 Br. N,N,N׳,N׳-tetramethyl-1,6-diaminohexane (TMHDA) dissolved in isopropanol (IPA) was used as a quaternization reagent for the preparation of target anion exchange membranes (AEMs). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1 H NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) were used to characterize the as-synthesized copolymers . The ratio of hydrophilic to hydrophobic monomers was varied to study the structure property of the AEMs. The obtained AEMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Water uptake (WU), swelling ratio, ionic exchange capacity (IEC), ionic conductivity , methanol permeability and alkaline stability were also studied. These AEMs have good properties as polymer electrolyte materials with high ionic conductivity (under hydrated conditions) in the range 2.89–8.85×10 −2 S cm −1 and 5.60–15.64×10 −2 S cm −1 at 30 and 80 °C, respectively. The methanol permeability of the AEMs in the range 5.99–14.51×10 −8 cm s −1 is lower than that of Nafion ® 117 (1.82×10 −6 cm s −1 ). The AEMs show excellent alkaline stability in 1 M KOH solution at 60 °C for a long time. Single cell testing using APES-0.8 showed an open circuit voltage of 0.89 V. A maximum power density of 146 mW cm −2 at a current density of 423 mA cm −2 can be achieved at 60 °C. In summary the AEMs are good candidates for evaluation in fuel cell applications .

A series of thermoplastic poly(imide-urethane)s (TPIUs), based on 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and pyromellitic anhydride (PMDA) as hard segments and poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PTMG) as soft segments, has been prepared by a two-step polymerization process. The objective of this study is to prepare a type of intrinsically flame-retardant polyurethane by incorporating PMDA as a flame retardant in the main chains. The thermal behavior and flame retardancies of the TPIUs have been characterized by thermal gravimetric (TG) analysis and limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94 vertical burning, cone calorimeter tests. The results indicate that the TPIUs display outstanding performance. The temperature at 5% mass loss ( T 5% ) and LOI value increase with the hard-segment contents, while the total heat released (THR) and peak heat release rate (p-HRR) show the opposite trend. Furthermore, the T 5% of TPIU211 (molar ratio: MDI : PTMG : PMDA = 2 : 1 : 1) is 33.2°C higher than that of the conventional thermoplastic polyurethane TPU211 (molar ratio: MDI : PTMG : 1,4-butanediol = 2 : 1 : 1), and the THR and p-HRR of TPIU211 are 14.62% and 64.02% lower than the respective parameters of TPU211. In addition, UL-94 vertical burning tests show that the TPIUs exhibit excellent antidripping effects. The ultimate tensile strengths of the TPIUs reached 23.1−37.6 MPa with increasing hard segment contents, which meets the requirement of mechanical properties with regard to practical use. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To study the possibility of SnS as an earth-abundant and environmentally friendly thermoelectric material, the electrical and thermal transport properties of bulk materials prepared by combining mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering were investigated. It was revealed that SnS has potential as a good thermoelectric material, benefiting from its intrinsically low thermal conductivity below 1.0 W/m/K above 400 K and its high Seebeck coefficient over 500 μ V/K. Although the highest ZT value was 0.16 at 823 K in the pristine sample, further enhancement can be expected through chemical doping to increase the electrical conductivity. It was also revealed that changing the stoichiometric ratio and sintering temperature had less apparent influence on the microstructure and thermoelectric properties of SnS because redundant S in the powders decomposed during the sintering process.

A series of thermoresponsive poly(γ-propyl- L -glutamate)-graft-(oligo ethylene glycol)s (PPLG-g-OEGs) with different main-chain and side-chain lengths have been synthesized via copper-mediated alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between poly(γ-azidopropyl- L -glutamate)s (PAPLG) and propargyl terminated oligo ethylene glycols (Pr-OEGs). Fourier transform infrared spectrometer analysis revealed that PAPLG 10 adopted 39.4% β-sheet, 47.4% α-helix, and 13.2% random coil while PAPLG with longer main-chain length (DP = 37 and 88) and PPLG-g-OEGs adopted exclusive α-helix in the solid state. Circular dichroism analysis revealed that PPLG-g-OEGs adopted α-helical conformations with helicities in the range of 50∼100%. The thermoresponsive behaviors of PPLG-g-OEGs in water have been studied by dynamic light scattering. The polymer concentration, main-/side-chain length, and helicity collectively affected their cloud point temperatures. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014 , 131 , 41022.

In the paper, a novel and sensitive electrochemical sensor based on modification of electroactive alizarin red S functionalized mesoporous silica material SBA15 onto glassy carbon electrode (ARS-SBA15/GCE) was developed. Alizarin red S , called electrochemical probe that can selectively recognize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), as tools for the detection of tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon anthracene. The morphology and interface property of ARS modified SBA15 (ARS-SBA15) were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Taking advantage of the π-π stacking force between alizarin red S and anthracene, the ARS-SBA15/GCE sensor could detect anthracene quantitatively in a wide range of 1.0 pM–10.0 nM and a low detection limit of 0.5 pM (S/N = 3). Other PAHs, such as naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and benzo[a]pyrene show little interference on the detection. Consequently, a simple and sensitive electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of anthracene, which can be used to determine anthracene in waste water samples. The electrochemical method provides a general tool that complements the commonly used spectroscopic methods and immune method for the detection of PAHs.

In this study, a novel kind of organic–inorganic core–shell SiO2-poly(p-vinylbenzyl) trimethylammonium tetrafluoroborate (SiO2–P[VBTMA][BF4]) nanoparticle was well designed and successfully synthesized via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to confirm the formation of the core–shell nanoparticles and the surface modification. In order to overcome the challenge of the characterization of the number average molecular weight of poly(ionic liquid)s, “sacrificial initiator” method was used here employing a trimethylsilyl (TMS)-labeled initiator as the NMR marker for integration. In addition, good thermal stability of the new hybrid polyelectrolyte was proved by thermogravimetric analysis. The electrochemical impedance measurements revealed that the room temperature conductivity reached 10−4 S cm−1, which is much higher than that of the pure poly(ionic liquid)s and varies with the amount of the grafted polymer and the test temperature. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) tests further investigated the crystal structure of the nanocomposite and pure P[VBTMA][BF4]. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity conforms to Arrhenius behavior for both of the nanocomposites and the pure polymer. The results indicated that the SI-ATRP approach provided a simple and versatile route to tune the ionic conductivity of the hybrid nanoparticles by changing the chain length of the grafted polymer, which can be potentially used in a variety of electrochemical devices.

Three s -triazine/carbazole based bipolar molecules: 9,9′,9″-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tris(3,6-di- tert -butyl-carbazole) (TazTCz), 9,9′-(6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)bis(3,6-di- tert -butyl-carbazole) (PhTazDCz) and 9-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2-yl)-3,6-di- tert -butyl-carbazole (DPhTazCz) were synthesized and applied as host materials for blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs). The triplet state energy levels are ~2.86 eV for these compounds, ensured their application in blue PHOLEDs. X-ray single crystal structural analysis revealed a non-planar structure of TazTCz, which prevented the intermolecular close-packing in the solid state. X-ray diffraction spectra also confirmed that TazTCz and PhTazDCz could form amorphous films with spin-coating method. The bipolar characteristics of as-synthesized compounds were confirmed by carrier mobility measurement. The device parameters of blue PHOLEDs based on these compounds as host materials exhibit that the balance of electron and hole mobilities is benefit for reducing turn-on voltage and efficiency roll-off at high current density.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the brain worldwide. Currently, there is no effective cure. But accurate and early diagnosis of AD is critical to the development of patient care and future treatments. MiRNA-16 has been considered as an effective diagnostic biomarker for AD because of its regulatory effect on key proteins of AD. Herein, a colorimetric lateral flow assay (LFA) was developed for sensitive detection of miRNA-16 based on entropy-driven catalysis (EDC) amplification strategy. MiRNA-16 triggered EDC and released more linker DNAs (LDNA) of sandwich structure. Thus, AuNPs were enriched at the T-line to enhance the colorimetric signal and improve the sensitivity of visual assay. It showed good specificity and sensitivity for detecting miRNA-16 with a detection limit of 1.01 pM. The practical detection of miRNA-16 in human serum obtained satisfactory result. Significantly, EDC achieved signal amplification in homogeneous solution without enzyme and DNA labeling, leading to a cheap and easy detection of miRNA-16. Therefore, it provided a portable and rapid assay for AD-related nucleic acid , which holds a potential for point-of-care testing (POCT) of AD.

Nanozymes, the nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics which exhibit lower cost, easier synthesis and functionalization, better stability compared with natural enzymes, have been widely developed for biosensing, disease therapy and environmental governance. However, the lack of catalytic efficiency of nanozymes compared to natural enzymes makes it difficult to completely replace natural enzymes to achieve higher sensitivity and lower detection limit in biosensing. Herein, magnetism-controlled technology was used to form nanozyme array consisted of stacked Fe3O4/Au NPs at the bottom of the microchannel as a spatially confined microreactor for the catalytic reaction. By enhancing the mass transfer process of substrate towards nanozyme which was mediated by the corresponding V-structure, a higher local concentration of substrate and more efficient utilization of active sites of nanozyme were obtained to increase the catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM) of the nanozyme array consisted of the Fe3O4/Au NPs by 95.2%, which was two orders of magnitude than that of the open reactor. Based on this, a colorimetric method on an integrated microfluidic platform was proposed for sensitive biosensing of Salmonella typhimurium. The entire detection could be completed within 30 minutes, yielding a linear range from 102 to 107 CFU/mL and a detection limit as low as 5.6 CFU/mL.
