A Study on the Solvent Vapor Induced Film Formation of PS/AgNPs Composites
摘要： In this study, pyrene (P) tagged polystyrene (PS) latex dispersions and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were mixed at various weight fractions in the range between 0 and 50 wt%. The prepared mixtures were dropped on the glass substrates by considering drop casting method and were dried at the room temperature. The resultant powder films were then exposed to solvent vapor to monitor how film formation and morphological behaviors of PS/AgNPs composites are altered. Film formation behavior of composites was assessed via fast transient fluorescence (FTRF) which measures the ?uorescence lifetimes of P from its decay traces during vapor exposure process. It was observed that pyrene lifetimes decreased as vapor exposure time, t increased. A Stern–Volmer kinetic analysis was used for low quenching ef?ciencies to interpret the decrease in pyrene lifetimes. UV-Vis (UVV) technique was employed to monitor optical transparency of the films. In the range of 0-20 wt% of AgNPs content, smooth and transparent films were obtained. However, above this range, the films were seen that they have low transparency and poor film formation since the increment in AgNPs content was lead to aggregations. The Prager–Tirrel model was employed to the FTRF data to obtain back-and-forth frequencies, ν, of the reptating PS chains during vapor induced ?lm formation process. SEM images of the samples were taken after film formation process is completed and were found to be consistent with optical and fluorescence quenching data.

Wide Spectrum Photocatalytic Activity in Lanthanide-doped Upconversion Nanophosphors Coated with Porous TiO2 and Ag-Cu Bimetallic Nanoparticles
摘要： Approaches towards maximum utilization of solar light spectrum for photocatalysis have currently attracted great interest. The combination of profoundly different properties, such as, upconversion, semiconducting and plasmonic properties can produce a favorable path in efficient utilization of the different regions of solar light reaching to earth. In this regard, design and fabrication of microstructures consisting of upconverting lanthanide doped nanophosphors coated with porous semiconducting material, TiO2 and decorated with plasmonic Ag-Cu bimetallic nanoparticles is presented in this work. These microstructures display great stability and exceptional photocatalytic activity by absorbing wide spectrum from ultraviolet to near infrared. The photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the synergistic effects between the different components and the efficient energy transfer between them. The development of such sort of hybrid microstructures could pave way for the development of new materials for the efficient utilization of the wide spectrum of sunlight.

Fluorometric determination of glucose based on a redox reaction between glucose and aminopropyltriethoxysilane and in-situ formation of blue-green emitting silicon nanodots
摘要： A method is described for fluorometric detection of glucose. It is based on the finding that silicon nanodots (SNDs) are formed from glucose and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) under mild experimental conditions. The SNDs thus formed have an average diameter of ～2 nm, exhibit good water dispersibility, blue fluorescence (with excitation/emission maxima at 410/475 nm), broad pH tolerance, and are photostable. The assay was applied to the quantification of glucose with high sensitivity, good specificity, and over a wide detection range (from 10 μM to 0.9 mM). It was applied to the determination of glucose in spiked serum samples and gave satisfactory results and recoveries.

A magnetic and carbon dot based molecularly imprinted composite for fluorometric detection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol
摘要： A magnetic molecularly imprinted composite was prepared by reverse microemulsion using carbon dots (CDs), Fe3O4 as the co-nucleus, and a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP; with 2,4,6-trinitrophenol as the template) acting as recognition sites. The composite of type CD/Fe3O4@MIPs was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), zeta potentiometric analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The results showed that the composite MIP has a spherical shape with average diameter of 200 nm. They also showed that the composite contains core-shell structures with several Fe3O4 nanoparticles and CDs embedded in each of the microsphere. The composite can extract 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) and has an imprinting factor of 3.6. It has high selectivity and sensitivity for TNP which acts as a quencher of the fluorescence of the CDs (with excitation/emission maxima at 370/470 nm). The limit of detection of this fluorometric TNP assay is 0.5 nM. The method was successfully applied to the determination of TNP in spiked tap water and river water samples, and recoveries ranged from 89.4% to 108.5% (with an RSD of <6%).

Enhanced electrical conductivity of silver nanoparticles decorated fabrics with sandwich micro-structure coating layer based on “silver colloid effect”
摘要： Surface modification of nonconductor fabric substrate for enhancing electrical conductivity is a desirable work of flexible wearable devices. In our work, silver conductive layer with sandwich micro-structure was decorated on polyester fabric, and such a sandwich micro-structure layer is composed of the inner polyurethane (PU) as the interface binder, the filling layer of the precipitating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as the conductive path via in-situ chemical synthesis, the outer PU layer as the shielding layer. The obtained sandwich micro-structure PET fabric possessed six orders of magnitude higher conductivity than that of the case without sandwich micro-structure. Such marvelous increasing conductivity can be attributed to the “silver colloid effect” which is deemed as approximation of conductive principle of silver conductive adhesives. The present study provides a potential strategy and theoretical basis for the preparation of low concentration silver conductive fabrics.

Dispute in photocatalytic and photoluminescence behavior in ZnO/graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles
摘要： ZnO/graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles (ZGNPs) were prepared by via in-situ chemical synthesis and electrolysis. This report addresses the disagreement in the photocatalytic and photoluminescence behavior in this system. XRD, Raman, HRTEM, PL and UV-Vis were able to confirm ZnO nanoparticles and core-shell structures formation at various temperatures. A little shift was observed in Raman for ZGNPs after conjugating. PL showed a few peaks that were not related to the graphene, which depends on the synthesis route and defects. After conjugating between ZnO and Graphene, two mechanisms are suggested. The first is band structure modification in the boundary of core and shell. The second one is diffusion of functional group in GO as a dopant on ZnO surface.

Facile fabrication of cross-linked fluorescent organic nanoparticles with aggregation-induced emission characteristic via the thiol-ene click reaction and their potential for biological imaging
摘要： Over the past several years, the biomedical applications of fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature have been extensively explored because the AIE-active FONs could effectively overcome the aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) effect of FONs based on conventional organic dyes. The development of novel methods for synthesis of AIE-active FONs plays a centre role for their biomedical applications. In this work, we reported a facile one-step thiol-ene click reaction for fabrication of AIE-active FONs through conjugation of acrylated PEG and AIE-active tetraphenylethylene (TPE) with two ene bonds using pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercaptopropionate) as the linkage. The successful synthesis of TPE containing AIE-active copolymers was evidenced by various characterization techniques. The particle size and fluorescence properties of the resultant TPE-S-PEG copolymers were evaluated by transmission electronic microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Moreover, the cell viability and cell uptake behavior was also examined to evaluate their potential for biological imaging. We demonstrated that the cross-linked TPE-S-PEG show small size, high water dispersibility, low cytotoxicity and strong fluorescence for tracing. All of these advantages endow the TPE-S-PEG FONs great potential for biological imaging applications. Furthermore, this novel click reaction can take place under mild experimental conditions with high efficiency. It could be also further expanded for preparation of multifunctional AIE-active materials due to the universality of the thiol-ene click reaction and good precursor applicapability. Taken together, we have developed a novel and effective thiol-ene click reaction to fabricate the cross-linked AIE-active FONs, which display excellent physicochemical and biological properties and are promising for biomedical applications.

Preparation and Research of Bi-YIG Nanoparticles via LTCC
摘要： Y3-xBixFe5O12 (Bi-YIG; x = 0.2–1.4) nanoparticles were successfully prepared at 925°C by a solid state reaction method using low temperature co-firing ceramic technology. The properties of the material were characterized using x-ray powder diffraction, a scanning electron microscope and differential scanning calorimetry. The test results reveal that the crystallinity, size and sintering temperature are obviously related to Bi concentration. It is proved that the addition of Bi2O3 can significantly decrease the sintering temperature, change microstructures and influence magnetic properties. The reason is that the sintering aid (Bi2O3) forms a liquid phase in the sintering process, accelerating the diffusion of the yttrium iron garnet (YIG) particles, the transformation of phases, and the formation of new substances. In addition, the liquid phase can greatly facilitate the rearrangement and mass transfer of the YIG particles, so it can promote sintering and drastically decrease the sintering temperature. It is also confirmed that the turning point (x = 0.8) is the best Bi concentration. Moreover, the dynamic properties of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) curves were studied in field sweep and frequency sweep modes, and the symmetry and asymmetry mechanisms of the FMR spectrum were researched. Finally, The Bastrukov theory, and the Landau–Lifshitz model and inhomogeneous broadening or Gilbert damping (LLG model) were used to analyse the resonance mechanism. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two fitting mechanisms, it is found that the fitting of the LLG model is the best.

PEGylated hollow gold nanoparticles for combined X-ray radiation and photothermal therapy in vitro and enhanced CT imaging in vivo
摘要： Up until now, hollow gold nanoparticles (HGNPs) with a spherical cavity have garnered much interest as theranostic agents in cancer therapy due to their high X-ray absorption and photothermal conversion ability. Herein, we describe the design of PEGylated hollow gold nanoparticles (mPEG@HGNPs) for combined X-ray radiation and photothermal therapy in vitro and enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging in vivo using a breast tumor model. In vitro results revealed that mPEG@HGNPs could achieve a synergistic antitumor effect when irradiated by combined X-ray radiation and 808 nm near infrared laser light. Furthermore, mPEG@HGNPs exhibited a favorable tumor targeting effect and good CT contrast enhancement in both xenografted and orthotopic breast tumor models, due to the stealth effect of PEG which increased the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. These results suggest that mPEG@HGNPs may serve as multifunctional nanocomposites for cancer combination therapy and, thus, should be further studied.

Antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation of fungal biofilm using amino functionalized mesoporus silica-rose bengal nanoconjugate against Candida albicans
摘要： Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes both superficial and systemic infection and an important candidate that contribute to high morbidity and mortality rates in immunocompromised patients. The ability of C. albicans to switch from yeast to filamentous form and thereby forming biofilms make them resistant to most of the antifungal drugs available today. Thus the development of more effective antifungal drugs are essential and crucial at this point of time. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy is an alternative modality to treat such biofilm forming resistant strains. This study aims to investigate the enhanced efficiency of newly synthesized MSN-RB conjugate as an antimicrobial photosensitizer for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy against C. albicans. Functionalization of MSN with amino groups was performed to increase the dye loading capacity. Conjugation process of MSN-RB was confirmed using different techniques including UV–Vis spectroscopy, Fluorescent spectroscopy and FTIR analysis. A low power green laser 50 mW irradiation was applied (5 min) for activation of MSN-RB conjugate and RB against C. albicans biofilm and planktonic cell. The comparative study of MSN-RB conjugate and free RB on aPDT was evaluated using standard experimental procedures. Antibiofilm efficacy was determined using biofilm inhibition assay, cell viability, EPS quantification and CLSM studies. The results revealed that MSN-RB conjugate has a significant antimicrobial activity (88.62 ± 3.4%) and antibiofilm effect on C. albicans when compared to free dye after light irradiation. The MSN-RB conjugate based aPDT can be employed effectively in treatment of C. albicans infections.
