Luminescent Lanthanide–Collagen Peptide Framework for pH-Controlled Drug Delivery
摘要： Collagen mimetic scaffolds play a pivotal role in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering due to their extraordinary structural and biological features. We have herein for the first time reported the construction of luminescent lanthanide-collagen peptide hybrid three-dimensional nanofibrous scaffolds, which well mimic the characteristic architectural structure of native collagen. Three collagen mimetic peptides composed of repetitive central (GPO)7 sequences and altered terminal amino acids, have been shown to consistently self-assemble to form biocompatible nanofibers under the trigger of a variety of lanthanide ions, which also functionalize the assembled materials with easily tunable photoluminescence. Furthermore, the collagen peptide-lanthanide hybrid scaffolds possess programmable pH-responsive features. The lanthanide ion-mediated assembly of all the three collagen peptides are conveniently and reversibly regulated by pH, while their pH-dependent patterns are finely tuned by the identity of terminal amino acids. Using camptothecin and cefoperazone sodium as two model drugs, the drug-loading and releasing efficiency of the collagen peptide-lanthanide scaffolds are nicely modulated by pH, demonstrating the efficacy of these nanofibrous scaffolds as pH-responsive drug carriers. These novel luminescent collagen peptide-lanthanide scaffolds provide a facile system for pH-controlled drug delivery, suggesting promising applications in the development of therapies for many diseases.

2D reentrant micro-honeycomb structure of graphene-CNT in polyurethane: High stretchability, superior electrical/thermal conductivity, and improved shape memory properties
摘要： The recent rapid development of soft electronics and wearable technology has demanded materials with the function of combining mechanical deformation and electronics. Particularly, materials simultaneously having memory shape characteristics in which mechanical deformation repeatedly occurs in response to stimulus, high stretchability and excellent electric/heat transfer characteristics are interesting actuator materials in future applications. As a stretchable and conductive platform, we fabricated a reentrant micro-honeycomb structure from graphene-CNT, which had structural stretchability due to the accordion-like reentrant structure and continuous conductive paths in the vertical and horizontal directions. To impart shape memory properties, we fabricated composites by simply infiltrating shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) into a stable graphene/CNT framework. Our resulting reentrant micro-honeycomb graphene-CNT/SMPU composites simultaneously exhibited a relatively low resistivity of 5 Ω cm, a change in resistance of less than 10% in the 50% stretching/releasing states, long term stability, and superior tensile shape memory properties, including 95.6% shape fixity and a 90.6% recovery ratio. Regularly distributed graphene-CNT structures offer heterogeneous nucleation sites and undisturbed crystal growth in neat SMPU pillars, resulting in superior shape memory properties. We also constructed a circuit with portable batteries to demonstrate that our reentrant graphene-CNT/SMPU composite offers potential applications as an emergency circuit breaker.

Effect of solvents on the self-assembly of long chain alkylphosphonic acids on indium tin oxide surface - In situ studies on the adsorption kinetics and electron transfer process
摘要： The spontaneous self-assembly process of phosphonic acids (PAs) onto indium tin oxide (ITO) surface has been studied in this work. We have carried out in situ adsorption kinetics studies of phosphonic acids in ethanol as a solvent using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Further, the effect of different solvents like ethanol, water, toluene and hexane on the structural integrity of the alkylphosphonic acid (CH3 (CH2)n PO3H2, n = 15,17) thin films on ITO surface has been investigated by using [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as a redox probe. From the study of formation kinetics, it is concluded that molecular self-assembly process follows two adsorption steps, a fast first step followed by a slower second step. The results of cyclic voltammetric (CV) and impedance measurements show that phosphonic acids form a highly impermeable surface film on ITO when polar solvents like ethanol and water are used.

H-complexes in the “4-n-alkoxybenzoic acid: 4-pyridyl 4′-n-alkoxybenzoate” system. IR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations
摘要： IR spectra of individual 4-n-dodecyloxybenzoic acid (A) and 4-pyridyl 4'-n-dodecyloxybenzoate (B) compounds as well as IR spectra of 2A:1B and 1A:1B systems were recorded. For the assignment of the experimental vibrational spectra a series of quantum chemical calculations of DFT(B97-D)/6-311++G** level was carried out. Hydrogen-bonded complexes of types A···A, A···B, as well as various trimers that can be formed at different component ratios in system A-B were simulated. The geometric structure of these complexes was optimized and the vibrational frequencies were calculated. The conclusions on the molecular organization of system A-B for different ratios of the components A and B were based on the interpretation of IR spectra and the analysis of calculated thermodynamic characteristics of self-assembly processes. Thus, it is determined that the system A consists of cyclic A···Acycl dimers; in 1A:1B system the H-complexes of A···B type are formed. In the 2A:1B system in the process of self-assembly, instead of the complexes A···A···B and A···B···A of stoichiometric composition, the complexes A···B and A···Acycl are formed in the ratio 2:1. These results are confirmed by the dilatometric method data.

Capillarity-Driven Self-Assembly of Silver Nanowires-Coated Fibers for Flexible and Stretchable Conductor
摘要： The rapid development of smart textiles requires the large-scale fabrication of conductive fibers. In this study, we develop a simple, scalable and low-cost capillary-driven self-assembly method to prepare conductive fibers with uniform morphology, high conductivity and good mechanical strength. Fiber-shaped flexible and stretchable conductors are obtained by coating highly conductive and flexible silver nanowires (Ag NWs) on the surfaces of yarn and PDMS fibers through evaporation-induced flow and capillary-driven self-assembly, which is proven by the in situ optical microscopic observation. The density of Ag NWs and linear resistance of the conductive fibers could be regulated by tuning the assembly cycles. A linear resistance of 1.4 Ω/cm could be achieved for the Ag NWs-coated nylon, which increases only 8% after 200 bending cycle, demonstrating high flexibility and mechanical stability. The flexible and stretchable conductive fibers have great potential for the application in wearable devices.

One-drop Self-assembly and Size Control of Organic Nonlinear Optical Crystal DSNS Nanowires
摘要： In this study, we demonstrate a one-drop self-assembly method for fabricating nanowires (NWs) of organic second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) material, 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl- stilbazolium 2-naphthalenesulfonate (DSNS). By controlling the parameters of the self-assembly process, we successfully controlled the length of DSNS from a few micrometers to millimeters. The obtained NWs have very high surface quality with surface roughness <150 pm, which is highly beneficial for fabricating integrated optical devices. DSNS NW has the same triclinic crystal structure as that of bulk crystal and exhibits excellent second-order NLO and fluorescent properties, which could provide wide opportunities for on-chip optoelectronic devices and integrated photonic systems. Furthermore, the one-drop self-assembly method only requires reagents in microgram quantities, and thus this method is extremely environment-friendly.

Heterobimetallic (Fe <sup>II</sup> /Pt <sup>II</sup> )-Based Supramolecular Coordination Complexes Using 1,1′-Ferrocene Dicarboxylate: Self-Assembly and Interaction with Carbon Dots
摘要： The synthesis and characterization of a new pyrazine-based ditopic organoplatinum(II) complex having a bite angle of 180° is reported. The facile and efficient syntheses are described of three discrete neutral Fe(II)/Pt(II) heterobimetallic SCCs with Pt(II) acceptor clips of different binding angles, 0, 120, and 180°. These new SCCs were characterized by multinuclear NMR and mass spectrometry. Electrochemical response of these ferrocene containing self-assembled ensembles was studied using cyclic voltammetry. The diplatinum acceptor organometallic clips significantly quench the fluorescence of highly emitting carbon quantum dots (CD), while the self-assembled macrocycles tend to nullify the quenching effect of the organometallic clips. Interestingly, the inefficient quenching of CD fluorescence by these SCCs was found to be directly related to the angular disposition of the binding sites in the Pt(II) based organometallic clips.

NIR Light- and pH-Responsive Graphene Oxide Hybrid Cyclodextrin-Based Supramolecular Hydrogels
摘要： Here a novel triple-responsive graphene oxide hybrid supramolecular hydrogel based on the electrostatic self-assembly between graphene oxide and a quaternized polymer and the host-guest inclusion between α-cyclodextrins and polyethylene glycol monomethylether (mPEG) was constructed. The quaternized polymer was synthesized by quaternization between pH sensitive poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) and bromine end-capped polyethylene glycol monomethylether. The supramolecular hydrogels prepared from the host-guest inclusion of polyethylene glycol monomethylether and α-cyclodextrins would turn into a mobile sol phase when the temperature increased above a certain temperature (Tgel-sol). Graphene oxide sheets not only acted as a core material to provide additional cross-linking, but also absorbed NIR light and converted NIR light into heat to trigger the gel-sol transition. The constructed graphene oxide hybrid cyclodextrin-based supramolecular hydrogels could respond to NIR light, temperature and pH, which could be beneficial for controlled release of cargoes and would hold great promise in the field of delivery systems.

Adaptive Shape Ripening and Interparticle Bridging of L-Arginine-Stabilized Silica Nanoparticles During Evaporative Colloidal Crystal Assembly
摘要： During evaporative self-assembly of colloidal crystal films, spherical L-arginine-stabilized silica colloids adapt to different close-packed geometries by faceting and forming bridge connections with their nearest neighbors. We systematically studied the morphological changes of 37 and 138 nm diameter colloids during evaporative assembly and compared them to 65 nm St?ber silica colloids prepared without L-arginine. Colloidal crystal films were grown from particles that had been dialyzed against water or L-arginine, and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and/or L-arginine were added to solutions during colloidal film growth. Solid-state 29Si NMR spectra showed the presence of L-arginine and incompletely condensed silica in colloids grown from silica seeds in L-arginine solutions. These colloids were especially susceptible to chemical ripening during the colloidal assembly process, adopting faceted shapes that reflected the packing symmetry of the colloidal crystal films. The addition of L-arginine and TEOS accelerated these shape changes by catalyzing the hydrolysis and olation of silica, and by adding a source of silica to the solution, respectively. This chemistry provides a route to single-component and binary colloidal crystals composed of non-spherical silica building blocks.

Bio-Inspired Structural Colors based on Linear Ultra-High Molecular Weight Block Copolymers
摘要： Ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) block copolymers (BCPs) are promising candidates for the fabrication of photonic materials. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis and self-assembly capability of well-defined amphiphilic UHMW BCPs with overall molar masses up to 4432 kg mol-1 obtained via living anionic polymerization. BCP micelles featuring hydrodynamic diameters in the range of the wavelength of the visible light to the near infrared region (300-1143 nm) are used for colloidal crystal formation. By varying the BCP composition brilliant structural colours can be observed. Microphase separation of the UHMW BCPs in the bulk state reveals uniform domains and showing blue to green structural color transitions. Finally, we provide examples of how BCP structural control can be used to generate reversibly switchable solvatochromatic optical sensors.
