In this work, the tumor-targeted ultra-pH-responsive conjugates (PBA/Dex-g-OE) and nontargeted conjugates (Dex-g-OE) were successfully prepared and could easily self-assemble into stable micelles with lower CMC values in neutral aqueous solution. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering measurement indicated that the resulting micelles have desirable size distribution and regular spherical shape. The PBA/Dex-g-OE micelles possessed high stability in physiological condition and were pH sensitive to both extracellular and intracellular acidic conditions. Doxorubicin (DOX) was efficiently loaded to give the DOX-loaded micelles (PBA/Dex-g-OE-DOX and Dex-g-OE-DOX) with the desirable drug loading contents. In vitro cellular uptake and growth inhibition assays suggested that PBA/Dex-g-OE-DOX micelles were more efficiently internalized by monolayer tumor cells and three-dimensional multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) than nontargeted micelles (Dex-g-OE-DOX), leading to the fast and complete destruction of MCTS in vitro.

In this study, novel multifunctional folic acid, biotin, and CD44 receptors targeted and pH-sensitive “nano-actiniaes” were fabricated with icariin (ICA) and curcumin (Cur) as loaded model drugs for breast cancer therapy. The newly synthesized polymer oligomeric hyaluronic acid-hydrazone bond-folic acid-biotin (Bio-oHA-Hyd-FA) was characterized by 1H NMR spectrogram (proton nuclear magnetic resonance). The obtained drug carrier Bio-oHA-Hyd-FA self-assembled into nanomicelles, named as “nano-actiniaes”, in aqueous media with hydrodynamic diameter of 162.7 ± 5 nm. The size, surface zeta potential, and morphology of the “nano-actiniaes” were observed via TEM. The in vitro release experiment indicated that much more encapsulated icariin (ICA) and curcumin (Cur) were released from the Bio-oHA-Hyd-FA micelles (nano-actiniaes) in the acidic environment. Additionally, the cytotoxicity research demonstrated that the Bio-oHA-Hyd-FA carrier material was completely nontoxic, and the ICA&Cur “nano-actiniaes” had greater cytotoxicity compared with other control groups. In addition, the “nano-actiniaes” were found to significantly inhibit cancer cell invasion by Transwell assay. Moreover, in vivo evaluation of anti-tumor effect illustrated that the ICA and Cur “nano-actiniaes” possessed inhibitory effect on tumors. Consequently, the multi-targeted pH-sensitive “nano-actiniaes” can realize significant tumor targeting and effectively inhibit tumor growth.

Isocyanate modified asphalt samples were got by adding quantitative isocyanate into the base asphalt. Isocyanate and nano particles composite modified asphalt samples were produced by adding quantitative isocyanate and three different kinds of inorganic nanoparticles (Silicon dioxide, Titanium dioxide, Zinc oxide) into the base asphalt respectively. Isocyanate modified asphalt, isocyanate and nanoparticles composite modified asphalt were characterized by taking physical tests, SEM, fluorescence microscopy, TG and FTIR tests, which demonstrated that the high and low temperature performance of isocyanate and nano particles composite modified asphalt had been improved effectively. From the microscopic view, the modification of the base asphalt was very significant. Results also indicated that the temperature sensitivity of composite modified asphalt had been decreased. Meanwhile, the thermal stability had been improved when compared with the base asphalt and isocyanate modified asphalt.

Lithium-containing silicate compounds have attracted so much attention in recent years for applications in energy storage and illumination source due to their rigid structure and good electrical conductivity . In this study, a Eu 3+ doped lithium-containing silicate red phosphor , Li 2 Ca 4 Si 4 O 13 :Eu 3+ , was explored by using structural computational simulations and systematic experiments for multifunctional applications. As a result, due to the quite non-central symmetry of the Ca 2+ sites (C 1 symmetry), the strong 4f-4f excitations in near ultraviolet region were observed. Under near ultraviolet and cathode ray light excitation , Li 2 Ca 4 Si 4 O 13 :Eu 3+ phosphor has an efficient red emission with good thermal stability and ageing resistance. Furthermore, Li 2 Ca 4 Si 4 O 13 :Eu 3+ phosphor exhibits a concentration-sensitive behavior induced by the change of site symmetry. The results show that it is feasible to develop near-ultraviolet and cathode ray light excited red phosphors in lithium-containing silicate compounds.

Few-layer black phosphorus (FL-BP) shows great potential in infrared polarization-sensitive photodetection due to its narrow bandgap and strong in-plane anisotropy. However, FL-BP is easy to be oxidized and degraded, which severely restricts its applications. Herein, a simple and scalable in situ interfacial passivation method based on pentacene film is reported to enhance the ambient stability of FL-BP as well as achieve n-type doping for improved polarization-sensitive photoimaging. High crystal quality FL-BP flakes with intrinsic anisotropy are prepared by electrochemical exfoliation. The morphology and Raman spectra of FL-BP/pentacene exhibit excellent stability 28 days after passivation. In addition, the hole mobility is significantly enhanced and dark current is substantially suppressed due to the interfacial passivation and n-type doping effect. The FL-BP/Pentacene based photodetector shows a broadband response from visible to near-infrared with good stability. The photoresponsivity under 915 nm illumination is calculated as 2.2 mA W −1 with an anisotropy ratio of 1.29. Furthermore, the polarization imaging under the irradiation at zigzag and armchair directions directly reveals the strong infrared polarization-sensitive imaging capability of FL-BP/pentacene. This work also opens up new avenues to enhance the photoresponse and stability of various optoelectronics based on similarly unstable 2D materials.

Mixed-valence states can bring unexpected unique phenomena, especially novel anisotropic physics, due to structural asymmetry, which originate from the discrepant distribution of atoms with different valence. This study reports an unexploited mixed-valence-driven quasi-1D Sn II Sn IV S 3 crystal, which exhibits widely and distinctively anisotropic polarized-light absorption reaching ≈3.4 from the deep ultraviolet to near-infrared region (250–850 nm). The fabricated polarization-sensitive photodetectors based on highly air-stable Sn II Sn IV S 3 nanowires display strong linear dichroism among the UV–vis–NIR spectrum with responsivity exceeding ≈150 A W −1 . Furthermore, the devices are further constructed onto a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate and the photoresponse remains roughly unchanged after repeated bending. This work based on novel mixed-valence-driven quasi-1D ternary sulfide Sn II Sn IV S 3 excites interest in low-symmetry semiconductors for developing broadly spectral polarization-sensitive photodetectors with environmental stability and mechanical flexibility.

Salt melt synthesis is a kind of inorganic material synthesis method developed in modern times, which has certain potential advantages and development prospects. The sensing electrode (SE) material In 2 O 3 was synthesized by the salt melt method. The composition and morphology of the synthesized products under different conditions were studied in detail by combining XRD , SEM and TEM characterization. The results show that the salt melt method can facilely synthesize high-purity In 2 O 3 powder at a lower temperature, and its morphology changes regularly with the change of reaction conditions. The effects of synthesis times and temperatures on the gas-sensing performance of In 2 O 3 were discussed. The sensor based on In 2 O 3 (380 °C − 30 min)-SE exhibited superior gas-sensing performance in the range of NH 3 concentration of 50–500 ppm. The NH 3 response characteristics exhibited little effect at different relative humidity (RH) and oxygen partial pressure conditions. In addition, the sensor exhibited good repeatability and selectivity .

This study develops a new type of moisture-sensitive shape memory polymer based on zwitterionic copolymers synthesized with acrylic acid (AA) and 3-Dimethyl (methacryloyloxyethyl) ammonium propane sulfonate (DMAPS). The moisture absorption properties of zwitterionic copolymers are particularly investigated in this paper. The results demonstrate that the DMAPS/AA copolymers possess a sulfobetaine structure and form a two-phase separation structure. The zwitterionic copolymers show both good hydrophilic properties and moisture absorption properties. Both AA and DMAPS segments influence the hydrophilic properties and moisture absorption of the composite copolymer. The moisture absorption process is well modeled by Fick's second law in its initial stage. The moisture absorption is mainly determined by immersion conditions and the given materials' structure. Moisture absorption speed and saturated moisture absorption both increase with an increase in DMAPS content as well as the immersion temperature. The increased moisture absorption rate and higher saturated moisture absorption results from the higher activation energy of diffusion. The DMAPS/AA copolymers demonstrate adequate moisture-sensitive shape memory effects. Stain recovery is faster in the zwitterionic copolymers containing higher DMAPS content, whereas the final shape recovery decreases with an increase of DMAPS content. Finally, it is proposed that not only good moisture absorption units are required but also physical crosslinks should be improved for moisture-sensitive shape memory polymers.

YSZ-based mixed-potential sensors with double-sensing electrodes were fabricated for ammonia (NH 3 ) detection. ZnO and LaCoO 3 nanoparticles prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) method were used as the sensing materials. The sensing responses of ZnO and LaCoO 3 sensing electrodes can be overlapped based on the double-sensing-electrode structure, thereby significantly enhancing the sensitivity compared with the traditional mixed-potential sensors using Pt reference electrode. The sensitivities of this sensor reached up to -102.85, -75.312, -70.165, -48.616 mV/decade to 10–50 ppm NH 3 at 450, 475, 500, 525 ℃ , respectively. Moreover, the NO 2 interference effects on NH 3 detection of ZnO and LaCoO 3 electrodes were opposite and can be counteracted based on the double-sensing-electrode structure, eliminating most of the cross-sensitivity to NO 2 . The double-sensing-electrode sensor exhibited good performance under CO, CH 4 , NO, NO 2 interference, oxygen fluctuation, and humidity variations, and showed good long-term stability. The results of sensing performance exhibited the sensors with double-sensing electrodes have a great potential for application on SCR system of diesel engines. In further studies, each sensing electrode can be optimized respectively and the sensitivity and selectivity of NH 3 sensors could be enhanced to a higher level.

In this study, a visual and ultrasensitive method for the determination of trace mercury ions in water was developed based on the high efficiency of urease catalysis and pH-sensitive inverse opal polymeric photonic crystals (IOPPCs). Mercury ions can inhibit urea hydrolysis and suppress the production of ammonium and bicarbonate ions in the solution, resulting in the redshift of IOPPCs. Therefore, the redshift of IOPPCs Bragg diffraction is directly related to the concentration of mercury ions. Meanwhile, the color of IOPPCs varied significantly with the shift of the Bragg diffraction wavelength, thus achieving the visual semi-quantitative detection of mercury ions by the naked eye. The minimum detection concentration of this method is 5 × 10 −16 g/L, which is much lower than the maximum contaminant level for the safe drinking of water (2 × 10 −6 g/L) recommended by the environmental protection agency (EPA), USA. In addition, this is a simple and quick method for effective on-site detection of mercury ions, which shows a great promise in emergency leakage monitoring and control.

Star-shaped polymers are attractive as drug carriers due to the integration of relatively easy synthesis compared to the preparation of hyper-branched dendrimers and their potential ability to form unimolecular nanoparticles with enhanced stability to survive the high dilution-associated deformation and subsequently premature drug release in the body fluids and blood during circulation. Clearly, the star structure exerts a significant effect on their bioproperties and potential applications. In this study, three star-shaped amphiphilic copolymers with the same polymer compositions but different star structures were synthesized to investigate the effect of star architecture on their properties as well as potential applications as drug carriers. Three different branched alcohols, 2-(hydroxymethyl) propane-1,3-diol, pentaerythritol and dipentaerythritol with 3, 4, and 6 respective hydroxyl groups were chosen as the starting core to generate the target star-shaped amphiphilic block copolymers composed of hydrophobic poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and hydrophilic poly(oligoethyleneglycol methacrylate) (POEGMA) with 3, 4, and 6 corresponding star arms by a combination of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements and pyrene fluorescence probe technique confirmed the capability of the resultant star-shaped amphiphilic copolymers to form unimolecular micelles with average diameters smaller than 50 nm in an aqueous phase. A comparison of the drug loading capacity revealed that the micelles of 4-star-PCL–POEGMA (4s-PCL–POEGMA) exhibited the highest drug loading content (DLC) of all the three formulations. More importantly, in vitro doxorubicin (DOX) release study showed unique pH-mediated drug release behaviors, i.e., dramatically accelerated release at pH 6.0 but a much slower profile at pH 7.4, from these generally recognized “pH-insensitive” 4-arm star-shaped micelles. An acid-triggered degradation and an acid–base titration were performed to further reveal that such interesting pH-responsive drug release behaviors were attributed primarily to the hydrophilic corona of OEG brushes. This study is believed to provide a new insight into the structure–bioproperties relationship of star-shaped polymers, thus should be useful for the future design and development of novel star-shaped polymers for controlled drug delivery.

High-temperature heat flux sensors play a pivotal role in detecting the dynamic heat exchange processes of heating and cooling, in high-temperature environments. However, the detection of surface heat flux on curved parts operating at high temperatures remains a formidable challenge. Flexible thin-film heat flux sensors, while offering benefits such as conformal adhesion and excellent portability, are typically limited by low operational temperatures and narrow measurement ranges. This work proposes a high-temperature flexible heat flux sensor based on multi-layered high-temperature resistant ceramics nanofibre membranes that one layer worked as a substrate and the other two work as thermal resistance layers, and direct ink writing platinum sensitive elements with Wheatstone Bridge configuration. The prototype sensor is capable of quantifying heat flux reaching 1330 kW/m 2 and withstands temperature as high as 1200 °C. The sensor is bendable with resistance change only about 0.5 % even when the bending radius was larger than 10 mm. These extraordinary characteristics indicate that such methodology will offer a new way for the development of high-temperature thin-film flexible heat flux sensors, demonstrating considerable potential for applications in high-temperature environments.
