Fluorescence probes in the NIR-IIa region show drastically improved imaging owing to reduced photon scattering and autofluorescence biological tissues. Now, polymer dots (Pdots) are developed with a dual fluorescence enhancement mechanism. First, aggregation induced emission of phenothiazine was used reduce nonradiative decay pathways polymers condensed states. Second, quenching minimized by different levels steric hindrance further boost fluorescence. The resulting Pdots displayed QY ca....
As a newly noninvasive emerging modality, NIR-II fluorescence imaging (1000-1700 nm) has many advantages over conventional visible and NIR-I (700-900 nm). Unfortunately, only few fluorophores are suitable for bone imaging. Here, we report an fluorophore based on DSPE-mPEG encapsulated rare earth doped nanoparticles (RENPs@DSPE-mPEG), which shows inherent affinity to without linking any targeting ligands, thus, it provides alternative nonradiation strategy skeletal system mapping disease...
Here, we describe a fluorination strategy for semiconducting polymers the development of highly bright second near-infrared region (NIR-II) probes. Tetrafluorination yielded fluorescence QY 3.2 % polymer dots (Pdots), over 3-fold enhancement compared to non-fluorinated counterparts. The was attributable nanoscale fluorous effect in Pdots that maintained molecular planarity and minimized structure distortion between excited state ground state, thus reducing nonradiative relaxations. By...
Mesoporous silica coated upconverting nanoparticles are loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin and grafted ruthenium complexes as photoactive molecular valves. Drug release was triggered by 974 nm light 0.35 W cm(-2). Such low intensity minimized overheating problems prevented photodamage to biological samples.
Photon upconversion lithography is demonstrated for the patterning of proteins using near-infrared light. Proteins and an upconverting-nanoparticle-decorated substrate are linked via blue-light-cleavable Ru complexes. The irradiated light with a photomask. In exposed areas, upconverting nanoparticles convert into blue light, which induces cleavage complexes release proteins. Photolithography photopatterning technique widely used in industry academia. photolithography, transfers patterns from...
Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) based on 1,2,3-triazolium (TAM) were prepared from commercial poly(2,6-dimethyl phenylene oxide) (PPO) via "click chemistry" and subsequent N-alkylation. Flexible tough with various ion capacities (IECs) obtained by casting the polymers NMP solutions. Although resulting TAM-functionalized PPOs (PPO-TAM) exhibited incomplete in 1 M NaOH or NaHCO3 for 24 h even at elevated temperature, highest hydroxide conductivities of above 20 mS/cm room which is comparable...
Recently, various second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorophores have been synthesized for in vivo imaging with nonradiation, high resolution, and low autofluorescence. However, most of the NIR-II fluorophores, especially inorganic nanoprobes, are mainly retained reticuloendothelial system (RES) such as liver spleen, leading to long-term safety concerns. Herein, a type lanthanide-based excretable nanoparticle, RENPs@Lips, which can be quickly cleared out body after...
Abstract The dysfunction of the circulatory system leads to various pathological processes with high morbidity. Recently, fluorescence imaging in near‐infrared II (NIR‐II) window (1000–1700 nm) has attracted immense attention many biological processes. rapid metabolism and low toxicity some NIR‐II organic small molecules indicate their feasibility for use visualizing system. However, most reported presently encounter such dilemmas as complicated synthetic procedures quantum yields (QY). To...
Abstract Exhaled breath‐based disease diagnosis is an ancient technique, and the application of this technique rapidly developing for quick testing, such as viral infection, asthma, chronic kidney disease, so on. Among diagnostic tools, exhaled test has demonstrated merits being non‐invasive, convenient, quick, comfortable. In review, breath via gaseous part major focus. First, summary state‐of‐art studies based on gas detection described. Second, typical disease‐related their measurements...
