Abstract Ten borylated bipyridines (BOBIPYs) have been synthesized and selected structural modifications made that allow useful structure–optical property relationships to be gathered. These systems further investigated using DFT calculations spectroscopic measurements, showing blue green fluorescence with quantum yields up 41 %. They full mapping of the structure determine where functionalities can implemented, tune optical properties or incorporate linking groups. The best derivative was...
Abstract Amphiphilic charged oligomers (oligodimethylsiloxane – methylimidazolium cation, ODMS‐MIM (+) ), assemble into bilayers using the droplet interface bilayer (DIB) platform, possess similar size and functionality as phospholipid bilayers, but exhibit increased stability. The oligomer ionic headgroups (MIM ) are covalently bound to monodisperse, short‐chain ( n = 13) hydrophobic tails (ODMS). These self‐assemble monolayer brushes at oil–aqueous of water droplets that influenced by both...
Abstract The self‐assembly of amphiphilic bottlebrush block copolymers (BCPs), featuring backbones densely grafted with two types side chains, is less well understood compared to linear BCPs. In particular, the solution tapered BCPs—cone‐shaped BCPs hydrophilic or hydrophobic tips—remains unexplored. This study investigates eight and four cylindrical varied ratios polystyrene (PS) poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) synthesized via sequential addition macromonomers using ring‐opening metathesis...

Aberrant activation of NLRP3 due to persistent tissue damage, misfolded proteins or crystal deposits has been linked multiple chronic inflammatory disorders such as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), neurodegenerative diseases, gouty arthritis, and numerous others. Hence, there an increasing interest in inhibitors therapeutics. A first generation bearing a sulfonylurea core MCC950 (developed by Pfizer) were discovered phenotypic screening, however their mode action was only...
