Schiff-condensation reactions carried out between 1,6-diaminopyrene (DAP) and the tritopical 1,3,5 benzenetricarbaldehyde (BTCA) or 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol (TP) ligands give rise to formation of two-dimensional imine-based covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), named IMDEA-COF-1 -2, respectively. These materials show dramatic layer-packing-driven fluorescence in solid state arising from three-dimensional arrangement pyrene units among layers. Layer stacking within these 2D-COF either...
A two-dimensional imine-linked covalent organic framework bearing pyrene has been prepared and exfoliated in water as nanosheets to produce a stable colloid. As proof-of-concept, this COF colloid used detect the presence of several dyes polynitro-aromatic derivatives. These results show high potential these nanomaterials for applications chemical sensing pollutants directly water.
Recently, the combination of lipids and block copolymers has become an alternative to liposomes polymersomes as nano-sized drug carriers. We synthesize novel consisting poly(cholesteryl acrylate) hydrophobic core poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrophilic extensions. Their successful phospholipid-assisted assembly into vesicles is demonstrated using evaporation-hydration method. The preserved thermo-responsive property lipid-polymer hybrids shown by a temperature dependent adsorption...
Polymer coated liposomes are promising drug delivery candidates. Herein, we report on the coating of with mixed films containing poly(dopamine) (PDA) and different types poly(N-isopropyl acryl amide) (pNiPAAm). Their potential as carriers from solution in presence shear stress or a substrate-mediated manner using macrophages is assessed. Although found no difference cell mean fluorescence (CMF) when applying employing fluorescently labeled liposomes, exposed to mixture PDA highly-branched...
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) present extraordinary mechanical properties, with Youngs' modulus>1 TPa and tensile strength>50 GPa; this makes them ideal candidates as fillers for the reinforcement of polymers. However, performance SWNTs in field has fallen behind expectations. This is due to a combination imperfect individualization poor load transfer from polymer SWNTs. Here, we study polymers different chemical nature using mechanically interlocked derivatives single-walled...
