Optical detection of glucose, high drug loading capacity, and self-regulated delivery are simultaneously possible using a multifunctional hybrid nanogel particle under rational design in colloid chemistry method. Such nanogels made Ag nanoparticle (NP) cores covered by copolymer gel shell poly(4-vinylphenylboronic acid-co-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate) [p(VPBA-DMAEA)]. The introduction the glucose sensitive p(VPBA-DMAEA) onto NPs makes polymer-bound responsive to glucose. While small sized...
Multifunctional nanoparticles that can provide long circulation and specific accumulation, illuminate the targeted object, intelligently dose pathological zones will enable major advancements in diagnosis therapy. To facilitate a simultaneous tumor-cell imaging adequate local delivery to tumor site, we develop core−shell structured hybrid nanogels (40−80 nm) composed of Ag nanoparticle (NP) as core smart gel poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) shell. The pH-induced shrinkage nanogel...
Effective, if dotty: Quantum-dot (QD) emission was modulated through the reversible covalent bonding of glucose to boronic acids on surface QDs (see picture). The highly selective ratiometric probe sensitive in physiologically important concentration range 0.4–20.0 mM and used determine amount within living cells. Detailed facts importance specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They made available submitted...
Pyrolyzed Fe/N/C, a promising nonprecious-metal catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), usually relies on abundant micropores, which can host large amount of active sites. However, microporous structure suffers from severe water flooding to break the triple-phase interface where ORR occurs, especially in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) fed with liquid fuel. Current studies about fabrication are mainly limited Pt/C layer, mesopores and macropores concerned. Here, we successfully...
